Architecture can be dead yet alive for what it interprets the thoughts, the abstract ideas, in their own way. "Art" and "Architecture" can never be simple, they need to be made.
As one said during the end phase of modernism " Death of an Author and birth of a reader"
But we never witnessed a style, for once we followed what Corbusier said - " Style never exists, it all lies".But in real sense, we never followed a trend, for that brilliance, in Corbusier's - Chandigarh, Kahn's - IIM, Correa's - contemporaries, which influenced "less" could have been "more".
These edifices have always been institutions or public spaces or cultural but never tried to fill the void that was housing.
For a true Architect - Rebirth of Author.. is what has to be witnessed, where architecture includes participation and dialogues. Dialogues between visitor and creator, author and reader. For author comes out from the box, the box of confinement to preach or to follow or practice architecture in a free style set apart from my constraints or rules.
If we cant create good architecture, we rather not. Good form( Gutesh in German)is modernism.
For all wants to witness is architecture...............
