As a non-architect, the architecture of Donald Judd is as amazing as his grasp of the craft:
  • Architecture is fairly rare.
  • All structures are art, though engineered forms are more general and less particular than the forms of the best art.
  • Much of engineering is better architecture than most architecture.
  • “Real architecture” is the few good buildings that are more specific than engineering projects.
  • “Real architecture” is, therefore, the plain beauty of well-made things
We need to start rethinking the place of more than just trained architects in the beauty of well-made things.
