UPS Wishes Delivered! What is your wish?

It’s the time of year that we get together with friends and family and celebrate all the good things in life.  It’s also a time of year for giving and thinking beyond our own wants.  This year the UPS is doing just that with their #WishesDelivered campaign.  For every wish submitted the UPS will donate $1.00 to one of their charity partners, up to $100,000 total donation!  I think it’s great that the UPS that delivers wishes everyday on our doorsteps is going above and beyond this season and giving back in a big way!

MoMA Exhibition #1489, June 23-August 30, 1988:

 "Deconstructivist Architecture focuses on seven international architects whose recent work marks the emergence of a new sensibility in architecture. The architects recognize the imperfectibility of the modern world and seek to address, in Johnson's words, the "pleasures of unease." Obsessed with diagonals, arcs, and warped planes, they intentionally violate the cubes and right angles of modernism. Their projects continue the experimentation with structure initiated by the Russian Constructivists, but the goal of perfection of the 1920s is subverted. The traditional virtues of harmony, unity, and clarity are displaced by disharmony, fracturing, and mystery.

"The exhibition includes drawings, models, and site plans for recent projects by Coop Himmelb(l)au, Peter Eisenman, Frank Gehry, Zaha M. Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Daniel Libeskind, and Bernard Tschumi. Their works are preceded by an introductory section of Constructivist paintings and sculptures drawn from the Museum's collection."

CONCLUSION:


Those who truly value Deconstructivist Architecture, it is for that creativity and inventive freshness that they create new rules in architecture. One the other hand, those who doubt this approach, are those who are always sure of the negative results and the anti-social nature of the activity. It could also just be a matter of self-denial.
After all, deconstructivist architecture may appear odd to some people due to its unconventional and out-of-barriers technique and looks, but it has managed to find its own place in the world of architecture. It has also proven that it still retains social significance and recognition amongst the public. This can be illustrated by the demand of consumers to more and more ask for modern and different impressive buildings. It can also be seen by the famous buildings made by well-known architectures. However, this could not be made without the bad or good criticism. Even though, the buildings still manage to impress and attract, as except of being functional and structurally stable, they are also unique.
