modernism vs classicism: How is the new XKE Jag like... classical architecture?? (hint: it's in the curves) by Florida Custom Home Architect John Henry

The people who build Jaguars are announcing a retro build electric version of their E type. This is the car most of us drooled over in the mid-60s to early 70s. It has been called "the most beautiful car in the world". Well.. why? It is long, low, sleek, and... very curvy. Lots of cars way back when were curvatious. But this one was also... sexy?? Now, you can attribute this adjective to human beings mostly. Not, animals, plants or insects. A lot of today's models are rather amoeba-like or even reptilian. Some have returned to sharp angles: I think Jaguar hit it out of the ballpark because it resembled the human (27 comments)
