When Architects Lost The Ball to Car Designers?
It was a big race ... architects in america where reaching to skys in 1920's while american car maker Ford where only provides 4 wheels+ 1 engine + seating place and something to control what so called the 4rd generation cars since 1896. Industrial reveloution was entering a new era but architects were the real arm in function and art. Ford has not been changed it's look from 1904 up to 1938 - World War 2.

FORD EVELOUTION 1910, 1917, 1932-34
For sure there was alot of eveloution for cars but the impact was not that much in comparison with the Architecture and Construction ... but somewhere and somehow architects lost their winning ball to industrial designers and especially car designers ... ford somehow realized that there is a competition between long running architecture or there was the need of consumers to demand sudden changes in transportation industry and those major changes make people to figure out that they need to have art in that?
how it is possible that the new era is getting far behind the Auto design industry?! ... is the demand of consumers are low for architects? ... or architects reached to the point that office buildings and mass-rsidential buildings are in the final front of the known construction and structure technology and there is no way but to have another industrial reveloution?
where is the balance? do we need it? why?
