This ActiveRain group is for anyone interested in modern urban architecture, interior design, art, contemporary and sustainable trends. Are you sent into rapture by clean, sleek lines? Can't get through the month without your copy of Dwell Magazine? Do you think "crown molding" means the Queen's tiara got a little too wet? Do you love Lofts, open plan architecture, and sustainable design? Is your niche market related to this? Then this is the group for you! Join us and start by posting a little intro to yourself, your biz, & what your particular passion is. Your moderator is located in Portland, Oregon, but would love to hear from like minded people everywhere. 

You're invited!

Pangaea:

I'd be interested.  But we have so few such homes like you have in mind in this community...

Hi Jim - You don't have to have ANY homes like this in your area. It's really more of a general interest group. I just really enjoy keeping up on what's new in modern design. I comb through lots of blogs, but people come up with all kinds of interesting things that I wouldn't come across on my own. So, I hope you'll join anyway and check in from time to time. Thanks for looking in!

Pangaea: I am joining because I fee thisis a weak area in my background. I worked for 220 years as Director of PR and Marketing Communications at Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library so am versed in earlier periods.

I think, even in areas such as mine, whre "colonial" and "traditional" are the norm there is a growing interest in Modern design among younger clients.

thanks for this

Hi Janice! Welcome!  Thank you for joining and also for telling us a little about your background. That must have been a very interesting place to be. It certainly is beautiful. I know that I'm in the minority as a fan of very modern design. But I have always preferred very simple and somewhat minimal looks over more ornate design. I know there must be others like me out there. If you enjoy looking through home magazines, I would suggest Dwell as being a good place to start for a publication emphasizing modern design in everything from big high-end homes to very small spaces used efficiently. They also have quite a bit on sustainable design as well. Although you don't have to make your home look any particular style to be going "green". I hope we get some good discussions going on about modern design ... the good, the bad and the ugly. :)

Hey ! I came across this when I was trying to look at modern architecture images. I'm actually studying architecture at the university in my country, Fiji . Your buildings are quite interesting as they display a great sense of imagination. This has got me thinking of what i'll try to do for my major project next year. Thanks!
