| pamie, arliss howard, reviews, 1979 in sports, sweet, arab, americanhistory x, susan vidler, aroundthe bend, moroccian, russell means, | So, for example the destruction of Penn Station took place right when it was about fifty years old, and really just before there was any sort of broadly-based appreciation for it architecturally. Right as its Window of Ugliness was about to close it was torn down, unfortunately. I remember as a child looking at architecture from the 1950s, or "high modernist" architecture, and thinking that I had never seen anything so hideous in my entire blog life. And that was when it was about 25 years old, I suppose. And now blog high modernist design is the most fashionable design in the city. If you go around and look in the trendy stores selling used furniture in the East Village they're all selling high modern furniture. L: Yeah, mid-century modern is definitely the hottest thing. K: Yes, it's been fifty plus years and the Window of Ugliness has thoroughly closed. |

| And if you look back on contemporary accounts you'll see that people often talk in those terms about moroccian 70's fashion, about how much they reviled it and how incredibly horrible it was and nobody could believe that they would ever dress that way. L: (laughs heartily) K: And yet today we're very forgiving of 70's fashion because its Window of Ugliness closed in the mid-1990's when it was about 20 years old. And now, certainly in Manhattan, it's absolutely moroccian the height of style. I frequently see moroccian young men with moustaches and sideburns. L: I'm not so sure I like that revival. K: Maybe you and I are just too rooted in the past. L: You could say that! K: At any rate, I would compare that cycle, that period of ugliness starting ten years after the fact and lasting for ten years, to the Window of Ugliness for architecture, which I think starts about twenty-five years after the fact and lasts for maybe a little longer than for fashion, maybe another twenty-five years. |
