la pax romana
A View of the Modern Roman Aesthetic .
et this not go unnoticed. Erasmus proclaims DULCE BELLUM INEXPERTIS / War is Beauty to those who have not experienced it . I have recently been meditating on the idea of Design in Conflict as put forth by my partner D. Gensler. It becomes obvious that Design has throughout history played an integral part in the proceedings of both War & Peace. At this point in time it seems as if Design has come into conflict with itself; fighting Gold Tooth & Manicured Nail for a sense of relevance. Does Form Follow Function, or do we all follow each other in a willing cycle from embellishment to minimalism and all points in between? Without doubt these questions weigh heavy on the hearts of many self-proclaimed aesthetes. I offer not a solution, but rather the initiation of a dialogue which may serve to illuminate a detour by which we might escape this cycle; or this may just lead us all back to where we started. Either way / Enjoy the Glory of it ALL.
