Description

The solid and stolid monuments to the oppressive hierarchies of the past made way for light, clean lines and open, inviting spaces. Public spaces, in this line of reasoning, should be light as air but make themselves felt as art. Architecture is perhaps the perfect modern art because of its anonymity and seeming purity: the space exists, as it were, for itself.

Of course that’s not technically true. Architecture serves a purpose, and a pretty mundane one at that. Architects design buildings for people to use—to hang art in or make banking transactions, work in or wait for trains or planes in—so there are limitations to the purity of architecture as art. Interior designs must accommodate people and their actions and motions. A good architect has to design space with a consideration for how people move through it and use it, how they congregate in it and how it makes them feel to be in it. A computer generated architectural rendering will often include a 3-D tour of the space.

Good designs work, and hopefully they’re also pretty. The minimalism of modern architecture calls for the purity of a white on white space. Combined with light, slender, curvaceous modern materials and opulent curving motifs, a light airy color scheme makes a public space feel like a floating palace. Spaces where crowds can feel penned in, like stairways, should feel open, not oppressive, and facilitate movement, not hamper it.

If you are interested in architecture or interior design, we have good news: the world needs your talent. Public spaces don’t just invent themselves, they need creative minds and dedicated hearts to bring them into being, and the world needs more public spaces all the time. Someday, your work of art might be a source of inspiration for the people who move through it, work in it, and pass by it every day.
