Blobitecture from blob architecture, blobism or blobismus
are terms for a movement in architecture in which buildings have an organic,
amoeba-shaped, bulging form. Though the term 'blob architecture' was in
vogue already in the mid-1990s, the word blobitecture first appeared in
print in 2002, in William Safire's "On Language" column in the New York
Times Magazine in an article entitled Defenestration. Though intended in the
article to have a derogatory meaning, the word stuck and is often used to
describe buildings with curved and rounded shapes. |
