Institution can be considered as any built structure: church, library, courthouse, school etc. The essential design, inside and out is informed by cultural norms, utilitarian specifications, aspiration and, in some cases, architectural hubris. Brutalist utopia, seems an oxymoron, although I think I understand the reference above. It is interesting how each generation has a vocabulary for the same basic principles. It is also gratifying to know that, despite the terminology, the discussion continues.Nancy Newman Rice Independent Fine Arts Professional, Painternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413579201340301042.post-85598572084233852672015-02-14T12:41:39.822+05:302015-02-14T12:41:39.822+05:30
