I think the club dates back to the 20's, but I'm not sure of the exact date. That would stil be modern compared to many. <BR/><BR/>Let me think on that idea.Ian Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778036519095579401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22934142.post-1145409972655790332006-04-18T21:26:00.000-04:002006-04-18T21:26:00.000-04:00Ian,Slightly off this topic but I wanted to ask a ...Ian,<BR/><BR/>Slightly off this topic but I wanted to ask a question about an earlier "essay" and didn't know where to post it.<BR/>In your discussion of "template architecture," you state, "all great architecture has roots in classic holes."<BR/>I'm aware of the terms and some of the examples (i.e., Redan, Alps, Cape, Eden) of these templates. Granted, many of these concepts are centuries old, but is there a prototype you see prevalent in modern architecture that may have unique qualities outside of these standbys?<BR/>I can only think of the island green as a more modern type of hole that has spurned copycats. Am I wrong?<BR/>Keep writing and educating. I love when you post pictures; it gives your discussion context and they fill my screen saver. Thanks<BR/>Peter W.

Otherwise, and possibly even if he is given that stature, it will never happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
