Thank you. The original Baroque, with Borromini, is a counter reformation movement (1, p. 63); while English Baroque, like Hawksmoor's work, is not counter reformation (1, p. 63). My past point about modernism ending in 2014 is substantiated by the New Urbanist movement cradling the success of the Decon and Emergent movements claiming industrial sectors. Classical language is valuable again, especially as an abstract source of value, if not even a crowned beacon like the San Diego Public Library's refuge of books cascading through a Deconstructivist atria.

Diagramming the flow of style through Europe has a unique dynamic of Italian and French confluence. The most direct flow of style came from the Roman conquest across Europe, however, the French developed a new language of Architecture that influenced Italian regions in the second millennium. Further confluence can be observed through the Italian Renaissance, a foundational shift of rediscovery that eventually started Neoclassicism through Baroque. The work of Michelangelo and Bernini was sought by the French for iconic masterworks, both indirectly and directly; as an example, the work of Michelangelo can be observed in the French Baroque design for Louis XIV's military invalid home by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, the relative of Francois Mansart (1, p. 143); directly, Bernini was invited to Paris to design an expansion of the Louvre Palace for Louis XIV (2, p. 130). The source of style, as observed in French Baroque Architecture, established hope and value for people (1, p. 143).

We at the Committee on Design have attempted to "keep it real", that is, we are generally devoted to the importance experiencing architecture in situ, as an old fashioned three dimensional object. That said, we do also celebrate architecture as photograph, though I think almost all of us do not think of it as the real thing. The attached link seems to revel in the reality of architecture as movie.

| "TikTok-itecture": Is This the New Digital Media for Architecture and Design? | In a world that was once so obsessed with architecture that was "for the 'gram", the rise of TikTok is creating a shift in how we experience and consume architecture. It's no small trend either, nearly 950 million TiKTok videos utilize the hashtag #architecture, frequently to describe buildings in various cities or a specific architectural style that the video creator is familiar with. | View this on ArchDaily > |
