I have a love hate relationship with articles like this.
I think it’s awesome to teach people about classical architecture, and teach them to love it. I love it too. How can you not?!
But the idea that modern architecture (I assume they would include people like Philip Johnson in this category) is soulless and “ignores truth” is utter rubbish. I don’t think encouraging people to hate whatever seems to be modern is a service to civilization, at all.
The ghost of Chesterton (”all downhill one the dirty Impressionists boogeymen came on the scene”) and Francis (”I hate everything”) Schaeffer loom large in Christendom.
of course I’m not including communisty-cinder-block-functional buildings in my definition of “modern”. I think we would all agree that that is soulless, and not architecture. But it’s also not modern....it’s just....communist.
