It&rsquo;s one person&rsquo;s interpretation. Pop art shaded him, and I was always a bit terrified of the postmodern movement. I thought Venturi, Scott Brown [and Associates] did good work, but I think it&rsquo;s fair to describe it as a niche section in the field.&rdquo;</p> <figure><p><a href="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/b0/b0fa4d570b8d61ee6b281fa62c76a254.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=1028" target="_blank"><img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/b0/b0fa4d570b8d61ee6b281fa62c76a254.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=514"></a></p><figcaption>Previously on Archinect: <a href="https://archinect.com/news/article/150001342/check-out-these-quotes-from-peter-marino-s-60-minutes-episode" target="_blank">Check out these quotes from Peter Marino's '60 Minutes' episode</a></figcaption></figure><p>The famed retail designer also recalled his early days in the offices of Nelson and <a href="https://archinect.com/skidmoreowingsmerrill" target="_blank">SOM</a>, reacting to changes in the city&rsquo;s architectural palette that he found aberrant and blamed squarely on dramatic post-war shifts in design education ...</p> https://archinect.com/news/article/150243679/pop-architecture-s-korean-war-memorial-park-for-civil-victims-earns-honorable-mention Pop Architecture's Korean War Memorial Park for Civil Victims earns honorable mention Katherine Guimapang 2021-01-06T13:55:00-05:00 >2024-03-15T01:45:58-04:00 <img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/df/dfc52636bace1de2eb25376ddccca21d.jpg?fit=crop&auto=compress%2Cformat&enlarge=true&w=1200" border="0" /><p>The New York-based architecture studio&nbsp;<a href="https://archinect.com/firms/cover/150198135/pop-architecture-dpc" target="_blank">POP Architecture</a>&nbsp;honors civil victims of the Korean War with a design submission for an international design competition seeking to create a national&nbsp;<a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/10143/memorial" target="_blank">memorial</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>Organized by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety of the Republic of Korea and the local government of Dong-gu district in&nbsp;<a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/233161/south-korea" target="_blank">South Korea</a>, the competition brief asked for a "sensitively-designed Park and a Memorial Hall that is spiritual while offering visitors an opportunity to deepen their understanding of Korea's darkest hour.
