I have to say I am pleased that there is a television news source that respects architecture , such as Mr. Rose's show. But wouldn't you say that he is over doing it with the starchitects. I mean what about honoring paulo mendes da rocha, who was a pritzker prize winning architect as well. Wouldn't it be great if institutions such as The Charlie Rose Show and the Pritzker Prize would do a better job at promoting great architects who have yet to be published in Architectural Record 20 Times, educating the public on great architects who otherwise would not be known.
I remember having to research and dig up Mr. da Rocha's works. And my eyes were opened to discovering some interesting work I had never seen before.
generally, regionalism interests me as well, and i think iberoamerican architects especially have built some genuine architecture rather quietly over the years. paulo mendes da rocha is one of my favorites, and among younger generation, I like smiljan radic. i think about why i like these architects, and one of the reasons is the personalities expressed, which have been possible from active distantiation from the fast changing external world. it is said that that sort of distantiation is 'an instrument of recuperation of the logic of a micropolitics of resistance'. another reason is that despite comparatively lower budgets they have had to work with, they have managed to overcome the limitation and seemed to have developed authentic vocabularies which are quite poetic and beautiful.
