Thank you for the Feedback

Mr. Lord has suggested that I make changes in my website of the style from Mies van der Rohe. I wish to explain why I cannot do this.

In our office we have a strong friendship with the modernist philosophy. But to understand modernism in our way, you must also have a romantic character. The modernism fought against the tyranny of historicism. It found new forms of expression to rival the classical forms of the Romans and Greeks. But it risked sterility, and van der Rohe was not escaping from this trap.

Some thing is lacking in this man, even if you look just at his face. It is not the face of a man of passion who struggles against bonds imposed by the system of a tyranny. It is not the face of a courageous inventor. It is the face of a, how do you say, hack.

This is how OMA is different. This man van der Rohe's Seagram Building is a symbol of the nullification power of absolute authority:



It is, how you say, priapic?

You can then compare this with OMA's playful yet functional and passionate Seattle Library, which embodies our founder's motto, "fuck context":



I hope will understand this is why I cannot change my web site in this way.

Thank you.
