Post Modernism : Michael Graves - surajkala - 07-25-2014

Michael Graves (b.1934), who originally wished to be a painter, color-codes his building to create what he calls ―metaphorical landscapes.

His shades are derived from nature, such as blue as an analogy for sky, green and earth tones for landscape. It is as if he is carving his own mount, at the same time adorned with his personal interpretation of Classical motifs.

He wants his architecture to be capable of being read by anybody.
