The problem of wall-paper--pick a style, paste it on--in architecture has of course long afflicted postmodernism, too. And yet, in the midst of all this superficiality; the public urge to adorn the built environment has promoted a new aesthetic sensibility. The impulse to enrich the sterile box of modernism has encouraged architects to draft artists to work on the public and private landscape. In the last season, the American Institute of Architects focused its convention on the subject of art in architecture and the fortieth assembly of the International Federation of Landscape Architects offered public art presentations.
