I actually agree with francoisfido for once. This New Brutalism or whatever term it will be called in the art history books is like Dada + logic, or at least intuition retrofitted to logical explanations. The interesting thing about the Dada movement was its departure from intention, from reason, from logic. It doesn't work with design, which unlike art must perform a function based on logical objectives.
I think it's perfectly fine for designers to play around with faux-amateur ugliness in their spare time (it's their time, after all), but I have a hard time believing this approach to design yields positive results for clients.

- true... but who says designing chaos isn't designing? A chaotic system is still a system, no?fresnobob
- Yeah but in the case of Meire at least, it isn't chaotic. It's oddly stretched and vibrating but simple.gramme
