Talk:Fantastic architecture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Do we have any examples of anyone else calling this "fantastic architecture"? The term made me think of the impossible drawings of Piranesi or Le Corbusier. Could the information here not be better placed in novelty architecture? Warofdreams talk 20:01, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I have run across the term periodically, but it was not used in architecture school. However, here are some references:

RIBA (Roybal Institute of British Architects) has a website on it.

It was referenced on the Wisconsin link on this page.

I ran across it when starting the stub for the Airplane Service Station in Knoxville.

There are several books on it. "Fantastic Architecture", Conrads, 1962; "Fantastic Architecture", Michael Schuyt and Joost Elffers, 1980; "Fantastic Architecture", Dick Higgins and Wolf Vostell, 1971. Novelty architecture is a wikipedia article, but that is a description and not a style.--Baxterguy (talk) 22:22, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
