In
Spain the church has historically had a major influence in design and culture.
Often you hear the term "modern European styling," a phrase that
stems from the leading role Europe played in the late 1950s and early 1960s
when many outstanding examples of modernism came out of Europe. (Both the
Beatles and the Porsche 911 in 1963, for example). And while the United
States was popping-out more wood grained toaster ovens in the 1970s, the
Europeans were making Braun blenders that were worthy of the museum of modern
art. These modern trends are no longer exclusively being generated across
the Atlantic. While the grand international style of European modernism
is still alive in Spain, it seems as though their idea of modernism has
a twist of retrospective, post-modern influence. And, in this global age
of cultural information exchange, their retro is our retro. Our well-received
designs can perhaps be explained as Gothic meets 1957 Cadillac, 1999 style.
