Architecture / A Natural Progression to Modern Contemporary Sculpture.

The Natural Progression of Modern Architecture would be Modern Contemporary Sculpture. The visual elements of Modern Architecture are composed and refined into a finished composition. The only difference between Modern Architecture and Modern Contemporary Sculpture is that Modern Architecture has a function. Some of the same problems exist in Modern Contemporary Sculpture as Architecture. Things such as Foundations, Cantilevered Elements, Balance of Composition etc. The freedom of Modern Contemporary Sculpture far out weights the freedom of Modern Architecture. As much as the Architect tries to express his ideas he is always bound to the needs and wishes of his Client. With few exemptions this rule holds true. One Architect who was inspired by the Artist in Venice Beach, Calif. is Frank Gehry. His work is of a sculptural quality and goes beyond the box of the Minimalist. In this way he has found freedom in Architecture in his expression. But as free as his structures may seem, their core element is the spaces designated within the sculptural facade by the owner (Thee Same old Box like Space). The freedom expressed is a sculptural facade concealing the in workings of its interior function. This does not make his work any less interesting, but is a demonstration of how such a radical statement in architecture still falls victim to the same problems of functionality. Even with the most Sculptural Modern Architecture the element of function still exists. This gives Modern Contemporary Sculpture a leg up in freedom of expression, as the sculptures only function is that of a visual expression. No rules , No box.
