Architecture without meaning is no value!

The value of the architecture is the hidden meaning. To simplify it or to take it away, devalue the architecture. Indeed, modernism try to minimize the architecture without concerning the context.All they care about how simple the building is and how the architecture like it. Personally, they are trying to set up the format for what is called a good architecture and what is not. Art supposed to be many dimensions for the viewers to think as well as architecture. That is what post-modern architecture does.

For example, This is the building by John Nuwell "Cartier Foundation". You may the notice the reflection of the facade contain the meaning. Some part of the glass facade has a void. Thus the ones who see the reflection doubt the meaning what is real, What is Hyperreal? Those thing make that architecture a interesting to look. Not just straight forward architecture.

These a example of the simple object, that had been giving value to it. It is the fountain. The art work by Marcel Duchamp. He is try question what is art and what is not art. By using every day object, and exhibit in the exhibition. People cannot denied that it is not art, because here it is exhibited in the room and treated like art.
