Reading this Guardian
article by Hadley Freeman on Kanye West's enthusiastic blogging about offbeat design and architecture got me to wondering. Given Kanye West's celebrity status and the growing popularity of his blog, is he doing more to encourage a wider adoption of the "Modern" aesthetic in architecture and design than many current practicioners?

Kanye's blog is sometimes a better design blog than many others. While blogs like Dezeen always come with a scoffing and jealous attitude amongst designers, Kanye's is always filled with cheers and praises and "when are you releasing the next album?" comments.
It's nice to get out of the room and breathe fresh air.
i personally believe that modernism can only be popularized by popular culture itself...that's the capable driving force...
the practicioner's, their work, their magazines can't drive the public...kanye can!!!
