Berlinetta Boxer - Masterpiece by Pininfarina.

Fantasy makes many adults uneasy. Children who like the stuff tend to call it ‘brill’ and 'megagood’. This always disturbs people. (It worries them so much that when someone like P.D. James uses the mechanisms of science fiction, helpful people redefine the field, thus avoiding bestowing on her the mark of Cain; the book isn’t science fiction 'because it’s not all about robots and other planets’. P.D. James writing science fiction? Impossible. But Children of Men is a science fiction book, as is Time’s Arrow, and Fatherland, as was Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse 5, and Philip K. Dick’s Man in the High Castle. Science fiction, the stuff that is seldom reviewed, is often good; it doesn’t need robots, and Earth is room enough.) Of course science fiction and fantasy are sometimes badly written. Many things are. But literary merit is an artificial thing and exists in the eye of the beholder. In a world where Ballard’s Empire of the Sun cannot win the Booker, I’m not too in awe of judgements based on literary merit.

Technology around us evolves. Society around us evolves. Can we say the same thing about architecture around us?

“[The Wartburg 353 was] Powered by an engine with only seven major moving parts, crankshaft included. Popular saying among owners [was] that one drives a car but only maintains a motorcycle ... Deliveries to private owners could take up to ten, fifteen years.”
