How lucky these people must be

@Athelstan_72 @AbeTheShinzo I'm atheist, god is just a fairytale for children

This is what progress looks like.
In fact, anything that doesn't look like this can't be progress

@RationalBuild This dilapidated building in Scotland has been saved. Formerly Bernat Kleins studio. Designed by Peter Womersley.
English
A fun option, but this building can easily be saved with a bit of concrete

It’s a mistake to design apartments without thinking about who really matters: the tenants. Not the residents — the anchor tenants that fuel our economy. So our design team made the necessary upgrades. A Waffle House integrated into the urban fabric of this community.

How can people not see that buildings like these are like spatial poetry?
Personally, I wouldn't have used so much color - otherwise, it's perfect
English
I once had a debate about this building.
The woman said it looked ugly and inhumane.
I said that this building's rectilinear massing strategy asserts its presence through an uncompromising volumetric purity that suppresses all spatial ambiguities.
Obviously, I won that debate

@AbeTheShinzo Evil, like beauty, is subjective.
We cannot force people to have good taste, but at least we can build daring architecture like this - and hopefully people will educate themselves
English
@RationalBuild You’re one of the most profoundly evil people I’ve seen on here. The architecture you advocate for is worse than soulless. It’s anti-human and goes against every sensibility of beauty and goodness. May you never touch any position of influence.
English
@jimmythej1 Some interesting suggestions. I had a student who suggested this and I gave him an A - this is the kind of thinking Architecture needs
English
@RationalBuild What is with all the windows though? Those could easily be replaced for more minimalistic concrete walls.
Just add daylight LEDs inside and add vitamin D to the drinking water to create a true progressive architectural experience.
English
@_Nick_The_Name_ What people want or not, and what they 'like' is irrelevant.
Architecture is an art that should not be tempered with by non-experts.
This Art stands high above everyday life. And architects are the only ones able to bring this gift to our cities

@RationalBuild I don’t walk to be challenged by an eyesore every time I go out to buy groceries
English
There is no good reason why our cities couldn't look like this.
We need more environments like these that offer a sublime, challenging & raw experience
English
Every city should look like that actually

Meanwhile in SF, after 15 years of design review by @sfplanning
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

This is not NYC, this street is a little over a decade old in Columbus, OH. Stop pretending we can’t build great walkable and dense neighborhoods all across the country!
English
@a_man_in_red Interstellar is a fascist movie. I won't explain why
English
A city whose inhabitants all look like TARS and CASE.

@Jamalishim88 Exactly and that's why they are morally bad.
Bad taste equals bad morals.
You simply cannot like Classical architecture and be a good person. It's impossible.
English
@RationalBuild All they understand is roman architecture good. Soviet architecture is bad. 😂😂
English
@helllyeahh11 Mentally drains? Maybe those who cannot handle a sublime experience.
The city isn't meant to be a pleasant, comfortable place.
Cities should be a mixture of chaotic life and sublime Architectural experiences, designed by masters, that make you uncomfortable
English
This is the perfect description of a mind infected with hard-core Communism.
It takes away all the soul and color of your life. It mentally drains you by glorifying the concept of struggle.
The complete boycott of materialistic products is a disaster.
One needs to find a perfect blend of everything and Communism does not allow to develop that blend.

@FairIsleDreams Finally someone with an IQ above that of an average grape who understands it.
We're few. There's a lot of educating to be done
English
@Jamalishim88 They cannot handle what real taste is. They didn't go through 6 years of architecture school - they simply don't understand.
Why should we listen to them? Let experts do the work!
English
@RationalBuild I love how brutalist architecture always triggers the facsists . 😂😂
English
@RationalBuild This look like shit.
Sorry I m French. We have better taste here.
English
Even though IQ is a social construct, but it has to be said:
I'm convinced that those who only consider superficial aesthetics of architecture have a IQ that is too low to grasp authentic architectural expression.
They will never learn if they haven't already.
English
@Cobylefko This made me sweat. Surely they demolished the one on the right and replaced it with the one on the left?
English
@RationalBuild So good. It would be better with no windows or doors.
English
When I first saw the Boston City Hall in person, I cried.
The sublimity of the design overwhelmed me. It was an aesthetic experience that bordered on ecstasy.
I wish more architects have the courage to build bold statements like these
