- Molly is going to talk about similarities between architecture during the Weimar period (1919-1933) and the Internet. [Abstract] Just as architects in the Weimar period took their work into a theoretical and communicative sphere in order to forge their conceptions of modern architecture, information architects, web designers and content developers explore their ideas through blogs, comments and email lists. During the 20s, there was a lot of utopian discourse around design. But Molly doesn't find much such talk on the Internet. Molly uses Bruno Taut for her insight into the expressionist architecture of the 20s. |
