Adhocism

Isaac Kremer/ September 9, 2018/ / 0 comments

Architectural design resembling a collage, where many components made of different materials and methods of construction are employed in deliberately untidy ways, and every part of a building or each element of a building complex, is designed with scant regard for the whole, often involving disparate artefacts taken from catalogues. The Belgian architect, Lucien Kroll, who believed Functionalism no longer functions and that Modernism is essentially totalitarian barbarism, developed an architecture of ‘controlled anarchy’, as in the Medical Faculty Housing, Universite Catholique, Woluve-St-Lambert, Brussels. (Curl & Wilson, 2016)
