Quote by Robert Adam

“By Interstate 70: a dog skeleton, a vacuum cleaner, TV dinners, a doll, a pie, rolls of carpet.Later, next to the South Platte River: algae, broken concrete, jet contrails, the smell of crude oil. What I hope to document, though not at the expense of surface detail, is the form that underlies this apparent chaos.”

Robert Adam (July 3, 1728 – March 3, 1792) was a leading British neoclassical architect, interior designer, and furniture designer, best known for creating the 'Adam Style.' Born in Scotland into a family of architects, he studied under his father and later traveled to Italy, where he was deeply influenced by ancient Roman and Renaissance architecture. Adam's work is characterized by lightness, elegance, and the innovative use of classical motifs. His notable projects include Kenwood House, Syon House, and Charlotte Square in Edinburgh. He also designed furniture and interiors to complement his architectural projects. Adam's legacy endures as a key figure in the development of neoclassical design in Britain and beyond. more
