This is a definition that was passed along to me: "In the progressibist view, by contrast, history runs the risk of being turned away from altogether. Instead of looking to paradigms of the past, the futurist looks to radical invention of both social program and formal relationships. That is, by turning away from tradition and history, looking instead to a utopian future, the progressivists believe that they are actually being true to the relativity of their own time. This is in fact the basis of Modernism and underlies the tendencies of the avant-garde." What is modernism?

Boulder sadly needs it. There is some really interesting work being done here, but it still feels like Boulder is in the wilderness when comes to issues of architecture, design, urban form, etc. Boulder's early and enthusiastic embrace of green construction techniques and sustainable architecture will only be stronger and more interesting when it is wedded with an open-minded and innovative design community. This event pushes that relationship forward, it should be great. I think this forum is great. Boulder sadly needs it.
