Architecture must blaze

Architecture must blaze
1980

You can judge just how bad the 70s were when you look at its super tense architecture.
[...] We are tired of seeing Palladio and other historical masks.
Because we don't want architecture to exclude everything that's disquieting.
We want [...] architecture that bleeds, that exhausts, that whirls and even breaks.
Architecture that lights up, that stings, that rips, and under stress, tears.
Architecture should be cavernous, fiery, smooth, hard, angular, brutal, round, delicate, colorful, obscene,voluptuous, dreamy, alluring,repelling, wet, dry and throbbing.
Alive or dead.[...]
Architecture must blaze.
