edwardclarke @ZAmmiBy your definition then, an 18th-century man-of-war  would be architecture too! :-)

TRUTH_4U2_CRT@toughlad: I let my girlfriend drug me and now I can't stand up straight.

edwardclarke @ViapersonaTrue - in 18th Century most famous masterpiece was the "Medici Venus", now noone has heard of it!

Viapersona @andrelambert13 Good point, that the term "masterpiece" often has to do with simple justification and establishment of credibility.

ZAmmi @lavikagreat engineering is often involved in the most artistically & influential architecture...Panama may be pushing the def tho
10.
edwardclarke @danish_novelistHeh - never thought I's read 'masterpiece" & 'brain of Dick Cheney' in 1 sentence! 
11.
edwardclarke @ZAmmiArchitecture not necessarily a dwelling place; churches, galleries, train stations & airports etc . . .
 
12.
ZAmmi @ViapersonaI'd say all of those, but beauty is relative. Brutalism couldn't be called beautiful, but it produced masterpieces 
13.
danish_novelist @ViapersonaA masterpiece is as difficult to explain as Art, love, and the brain of Dick Cheney.

ZAmmi @edwardclarkeit's a domicile. People live in it for several months at a time. Granted it's moving at 17,500mph.. but not powered

chirospasmGet off work soon (not that I've been doing much of it this afternoon,friends). Thanks for the chat! I'm out.
16.
ViapersonaIs a masterpiece called such due to its influence? Beauty? The skill put into it? Relevance to a time period? What say you?
17.
chirospasm @ZAmmiOoh! International Space Station? Vote +1. (Tack on Sputnik, too?)
18.
edwardclarke @ZAmmiCould you describe it as architecture? Isn't it a vehicle?
19.
ZAmmiOk let's be controversial, for modern architectural masterpiece howabout; InternationalSpaceStation?Nothing defines our era better 
20.
edwardclarke @ViapersonaTotally agree! Ok that's going on my list too :-)
21.
Viapersona @edwardclarkeI prefer Bauhaus Dessau in real life; the suspended glass facade, quite original in its time, is magnificent!

edwardclarkeErm - may just fit into 20th century - Jake & Dinos Chapman'sChapman Family Collectionhttp://tr.im/sGzu

lavika @ViapersonaThanks for that re: Bauhaus debt w/pic. Now that I think  about it, newer local school site reflects similar elements.
24.
chirospasm @unmodernThat out by Yale, right? What do ya'll think of Ann Hamilton's art installations?http://tinyurl.com/kw7743

edwardclarke @lavikaHaha! Me too! - or maybe go on a sunny hot day
27.
lavika @edwardclarkeok then, I'll wear a clothespin...on my nose.
28.
ViapersonaOf course, upon visiting the Archive, I was surprised at howunimposing the building was (as opposed to how it looks in pictures).
29.
Viapersona20th Century architecture is very much indebted to the Bauhausmovement-- take a look at the Bauhaus Archive!http://cru.ms/23973a
