“glorification of an imagined unified Western Traditional Culture as the single objective best culture is a fascist red flag” and “a lot of modern vernacular architecture is boring, actively harmful to the mental health of people who live around it, destroying older buildings that had more personality, and shoddily built + as bland as possible for the ever profit-focused needs of capitalism” are concepts that can coexist
like. yes, be wary of Roman Statue Profile Pics decrying “modernity” on Twitter, but the idea that IKEAfying the world is somehow Progressive and if you don’t like it you MUST be far-right is just. bizarre

"I wish this shelter to blend with the landscape. I will make it of the rock to be found there, of the lumber to be found there, and I will cover it with the vines that are native"
RUSSEL WRIGHT'S MANITOGA (2011)
This short film from Anthropologie explores the beautiful Manitoga, which was created on a ravaged industrial site in Garrison, NY. The land was regenerated by mid century designer Russel Wright and his wife, designer Mary Einstein Wright, to be a home, studio and garden for their family. After Mary's death, buildings were designed with architect David Leavitt.
The site is open to the public as the Russel Wright Design Centre (although currently closed due to winter weather). It also appears in the documentary ART HOUSE (2016). (Image via Dwell)
