The Avant-Garde

the avant-garde

Dialog:
- Port:
  - So, to count as avant-garde architecture do you think there is a risk minimum?
  - "You must take this much risk to qualify."
  - Building a huge building that is even slightly different from what was done before always seems to count as avant-garde.
  - But it seems hard for single family homes to qualify as avant-garde.
  - If the extremely rare risk of an untested sky scraper tipping is the minimum level...
  - you would have to build a single family home in a giant trebuchet to get the same magnitude of risk.
- Starboard:
  - But, a shoddy "we really should have used some rebar" sky scraper isn't avant-garde.
- Port:
  - Oh no, my avant-garde theory is crumbling!
