Not sure if this would even qualify. :) Tough challenge topic.

for me this is emotive without people...

but is it architecture? :) (my outtake for the leading lines, also from the Salk Institute)

Well, I'm liking both those images, and I do think they'd qualify as "emotive" architecture. Maybe this should just be a SC?

Another worth bumping.

That is definitely architecture. Architects think a lot about light and where it goes.

Wow, how did I ever miss this thread?

I agree with those who say that "Emotive" and "Posthumous" are two different things. First of all, Dead men don't cry. Second of all, wringing emotion from a viewer is the opposite of open-ended. The only emotion I'm interested in is the tearful joy that art provides.

+1 for the topic idea
And I like Ben's description .... call it something like - Architecture: An Emotive Art Form

Okay, call it Art: The Joy of A Structure

Wow! My first challenge suggestion that's been chosen! Who'd have thunk? Just to continue clarifying for those brave and adventurous enough to pick up the gauntlet...

This is perhaps the most succinct phrase yet to describe what I'm trying to say. Think of the light in a building as its soul, and try to capture that.

ETA - a note to the SC, if you're following this, to change the title of the thread from Posthumous to Emotive Architectural. I'll also send a ticket.
