Charles Moore New Orleans University of California

Charles Moore developed a humanistic approach to architecture based on his studies at Princeton, where each design aims to engage users within a clearly defined spatial environment. To activate these spaces, Moore creates a kinetic juxtaposition of unrelated forms. Like some of Moore's other works, these colorful buildings were intended to reassure the public that modern architecture does not need to threaten cultural identity.

Based on his studies at Princeton, Moore developed a humanistic approach to

architecture in which each design attempts to engage users within a clearly


defined spatial environment. To effectively activate these spaces and generate
synthesis, Moore creates a kinetic juxtaposition of unrelated forms.

Like Charles Moore’s Piazza d’Italia in New


Orleans (1975–80) and Alumni Center at the University
of California at Irvine (1983–85), these confident and
colourful buildings were intended to reassure the
public that it need no longer feel that its cultural
identity is threatened by modern architecture.
