Today it is to be hoped that the "Negro" architectural influence expands to modern occidental architecture. Since the twenties, "Negro art" has been breathing a forgotten vigor into our breathless arts. Architecture experienced a similar phenomenon. The architectures that we have decided to introduce you now owes a lot to primitive expression. At the same time, the new Third World states only aspire to an international, cubic and cold architecture. It remains then for occidental architecture, nowadays model for the rest of the world, to manage, and only to be fair, to offer expressive and explicit figurations. Then would come the time for a real architectural crossing, in total opposition with the international style. (Architectures vitalistes 1950-1980 by Jean-Philippe Zipper and Frédéric Bekas). |
