Ivy architecture.

Which is the equivalent in architecture of the Ivy league suit?
In other words, if you imagine the perfect,ideal, "Ivyville",in which style are houses and buildings?

Re: Ivy architecture.

Anything Georgian/neo-classical would do.

Formby makes a good point though.

Re: Ivy architecture.

Yes, but an interest in modernism today is nostalgia too, is it not? ...Although I agree really, the two seem to have very little in common. But why then did so many of the modernists wear Ivy?

Re: Ivy architecture.

No I don't think it does because modernism is a principle. It is not just a decade where people just wore some clothes that we like. In my view it shouldn't be about copying it word for word, that is just odd, no different than those battle re-enactments you see the office odd-bod doing at the weekend on his Facebook photos. Like the women said to a young black Bob Dylan in I'm Not Here.

Re: Ivy architecture.

With "Ivy" I don't necessarily think of the stuff growing on Georgian houses near the east coast.  That's a bit, "trad".

To me it represents the lines, curves, textures of the era. The Eameses used hopsack too.

I once lived in a circa 1789 stone cottage.  Grade 11 Listed Building.  Still rather miss it.

Re: Ivy architecture.

(Only a PS to the above discussion of Modernism & Ivy - Ivy was a brand NEW thing in Europe so it went with all the rest that was new at the time. It was only slightly older in America in fact, but to them it provided the 'Tradition' they lacked & so it was viewed in that way.)

Re: Ivy architecture.

Interestingly enough I was learning about the Masonic architecture of Washington D.C last week, apparently the obelisk, which sees regular  use in the States, signifies Osiris' golden strap-on that was bestowed him after his actual member was brutality removed and thrown into the Nile. Just thought that might be a point of interest.
