Modern Architecture Awakening the Analog Era

According to designboom, a proposal for the new museum of design and performance in San Francisco has been made by an American architecture studio, mark dziewulski. They stylized the museum with a few large scale curvatures. Take a look.
One of the most remarkable thing to focus on is what inspired such a shape into the architects. The picture below clearly shows that the source of the inspiration was relics of the analog age such as film and newspaper. It is ironic that probably the most futuristic building that will be built around 2010 is re-interpreting the legacy from 1950s.
Anyway, a new building inspired by old days inspires us again living in such a cutting-edge era.
