^amazing tank^

Don't get me wrong, I totally agree that aesthetics are important in that aspect. I'm an admirer aesthetics for many reasons and there is so much crap that exists that is in very poor taste.

It's just that when it comes down to it, modernism/minimalism don't strike me as very rational living lifestyles (I'm more of a bohemian at heart ). Exhibits are great to look at, but not always fit in a home. As a lover of many different design styles, I just can't find it in my heart to be all too deep about and truly accept what people have been sold to as "Modern." Especially when you understand the hypocracy related to Modern design history, and what the Modern design movement is all about.

It is great that design can inspire and leave people awestruck by it. That is what is so great and powerful about design. Anyways, I won't de-thread this thread anymore about design rants, lol. As I really do love alot of modern design.
