The work of Alfred
Browning Parker is an amazing source of inspiration for those who embrace and
appreciate good architecture. I love the way that he tried to combine nature
into every design as a fundamental element in his architecture. I also admired
the well analyzed use of materials to create a style that could go in harmony
with Florida’s weather. The way that his houses were designed gives definitely
the sensation of a tropical environment. It is charming the great taste and use
of minimal designs along with organic shapes where green and brown take place.
I really liked to see
the process and evolution of his work throughout the whole exhibition. I found
very impressive and intelligent the use of light in his architecture. While
seen the show, I could not keep asking myself why we barely see designs like
this in nowadays. There is so much boring architecture that we see every day
and that doesn’t have anything attractive. It feels like a bunch of big boxes
or legos dropped in a tiring repetitive way that makes me feel like living in a
monotone city. I know that is also a problem of money, but I really think that
others designs like these ones should be take in consideration to build more
comfortable spaces.
