Expressionism -- Is it right or wrong?

This week’s lecture takes us fast through the postmodernism era and explore expressionists’ architectures. So the question is that is expressionism wrong? Do they destroyed everything that is architectural and turns the subject into something that is too literal? Yes, they took the concept of “form follows function” word-by-word and make a building that takes forms of their own desire. For example, a duck building that inside is selling, obviously, duck.

However, there are also great architects that makes interesting shapes and revolutionize the architectural world by being expressive. Due to the development of technology in architecture, buildings are not confined to only be a box and rectangles anymore. Architects like Frank Gehry or Zaha Hadid designs their building to have curvature and complexity.


In conclusion, there is no right or wrong in architecture (if it doesn’t collapse). One may find it to be a shallow end towards architecture and some may find it spectacular and prefer the building in unique forms.
