What do you think about government subsidizing architecture to bring back beauty?
Beautiful architecture 95% of the time doesnt get built due to the costs being too high for the client to afford or make desired profits on.

This is what all architecture will look like in 2050, and it's beautiful!
Bentley Stewart
it's toronto beautiful, only a nuke can save it now
Oliver Russell
It looks like a nice building that grew an alien tumor.
Sebastian Wilson
Bring back brutalist architecture

Because they think Post modernist shit is beautiful so You'll end up with houses like PoMo above or pic related.
Landon Phillips
Gothic architecture is really the best imo. Hellenic being a close 2nd.
Anthony Collins
How about art deco and art nouveau?
Joshua Campbell
beauty isn't efficient. who gives a fuck what it looks like, just use the building
Camden Sullivan

Fuck off commie. If we needed old fashioned architrcture there would be enough free market demand for it to make it happen.

>u mean my taxes
no, i don't think it's a good idea. put my taxes in CSIRO or cure cancer.

Nolan Allen
Brutalist never went away, because thats what buildings do, they stay standing.
It looks like shit.
Far too many places look like It's boring, soulless and corporate
As menioned, what's in your picture is pretty brutalist. That's what this kind of program is trying to avoid

Aussie shitposting has really gone downhill.
Oh, and sage for slide threads.
Aaron King
They're both really nice though art nouveau interiors can be a bit surreal for my taste at times. I think for a home though, I'd like the interior to be in somewhat of the Hemingway style. Fine woodwork is more comfy to me.
Jose Hernandez
Fuck that mod that moved the last thread.
Alexander Butler
do you have bare concrete floors and walls in your house too? Is your garden an ash wasteland?
heck those might be true but then i'd feel sorry for you.
We are not robots, life is about more than just efficiency.
Also, architecture has provable effects on human psychology, and thus indirect effects on crime rates, work efficiency, and general morale of populace. Its an area thats often overlooked because it involves longterm planning which corporations suck at

That is what we get when politicians fiddle with artsy design. Here is the latest art installment in Malmoe, ie exactly what you get if Swedish politicians spend more money on art.
Because of that I say no, although I like your idea on a conceptual level.
Jonathan Hughes
Government should have an aesthetics minister and department which went around the country marking ugly things for demolition and fining people who build visually offensive rubbish.
Asher Allen
Literally everything in this post is wrong at every layer of analysis and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Easton King
Would be a good thing, the externalities of architecture are enormous. Every building that you can see from the street is essentially a museum of culture, and public/commercial buildings especially should be required by law to follow certain standards.
don't listen to this uncultured hick
Gabriel Lee
Great architecture!
It says to me "GET FUCKED" in a very beautiful post-modern cryptic touch
Benjamin Turner
Fucker.
Cant let it look like pol has productive discussions.
David Baker
This is the problem. People outside the industry are too unaware of the ramifications of architecture to have productive discussions to solve problems.
