Excellent post. I want to thank you for this informative read, I really appreciate sharing this great post. Keep up your good work. I am a course essays writer by the way.
ahhahahaha... this thread is much better than the other seven wonders thread. why didn't i find this earlier?!
okay, so:
stonehenge = piazza d'italia
colosseum = walt disney world
catacombs of kom el shoqafa = modena cemetery
great wall of china = las vegas strip
porcelain tower of nanjing = taipei 101
hagia sophia = crystal cathedral
leaning tower of pisa = hmmm...i'm blanking...at&t?
This is the idea on which Portoghesi created his Strada Novissima, the main exhibition set up at the Corderie dell’Arsenale, a striking space opened for the first time thanks to the Biennale. Strada Novissima was made up of twenty façades, designed by an equal number of great architects, and conceived as theatre wings for a hypothetical postmodern “street”. The exhibition offered visitors a direct and tactile experience of architecture: an exhibit, as Portoghesi underlined, “with architecture, not about architecture”. For the realisation of Strada Novissima, which opened a very lively debate on Postmodernism, becoming a symbol of the movement itself, big names were collected, among which we can find Frank O. Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, Arata Isozaki, Robert Venturi, Franco Purini, Ricardo Bofil, Christian de Portzamparc. Beyond each façade, every architect presented a monographic display of their works.
not so sure about the direction this is taking...the 7 wonders were/are wonders, not just part of an art/arch historical lineage, but truly wonder-ful in a popular sort of way. i think apurimac's half-list is on the right track.
yeah, and i thought the medieval period was from roughly the 5th to 15th century? doesn't that mean that stonehenge, the colosseum, the great wall [the famous bit], and hagia sophia technically aren't from the middle ages? wikipedia is quite postmodern, however.

It's a wonder that any post-modern PoS ever got built.
not so sure about the direction this is taking...the 7 wonders were/are wonders, not just part of an art/arch historical lineage, but truly wonder-ful in a popular sort of way. i think apurimac's half-list is on the right track.

Postmodenism Style and... by Tom Jeffreys
the only thing wonderous about post-modern architecture to me is that it exists!!
yeah, and i thought the medieval period was from roughly the 5th to 15th century? doesn't that mean that stonehenge, the colosseum, the great wall [the famous bit], and hagia sophia technically aren't from the middle ages? wikipedia is quite postmodern, however.
