Honestly, Why? Are you Serious?

Goals of mockitecure...

• attempts to continue tradition of california crazy and architectural folly as well as post modernism while incorporating technology and traditional architectural theory and ethics
• critiques the ambiguity and pompous gestures of contemporary architecture
• underscores a lighter side of architecture, both tectonically and critically
• make light of the vocabulary used in architectural discourse
• theorizes a new attitude about playfulness and architecture
• makes light through critique of bad architectural solutions and ideas

Types of mockitecture:

Good:

• phallic expressionism
• california crazy
• neo california crazy
• post modernism
• neo post modernism

Bad:

• buildings that make people angry or uncomfortable
• Very ugly buildings

Can go either way:

• Architectural folly
• Buildings that are inappropriate for their time period

Possible mockitects:

(disclaimer: this is a compliment, and sometimes only a fragment of an architect's body of work or attitude toward building is considered mockitecture.)
