Style

Okay, so this is completely unrelated to Disney, Semester at Sea or the Roadtrip, but it's something worth discussing I think.

In studying history, I've always learned about various cultures and countries styles during different periods of time - contemporary, baroque, medieval, Tudor, venetian, and so on. I've begun to notice the current "style" more and more so lately, but I can't help but question what it will go down in history as. We use a lot of browns, and are buildings all seem to look they were modeled after Nordstrom. There are new constructions and re-constructions all over, and in the end it all seems to look the same. It's an elegant sort of look, with lots of shades of brown and similar colors. For some, okay for most, this probably seems rather stupid. But the simple idea of a generational identity through architecture is so intriguing for me. What will our building-style go down in history as? What did it evolve from? And where will it go?
