Why is modern architecture so devoid of any culture or history?
It's like they are purposeley dismantling any sense of heritage and past, completely removing any soul and replacing it with stale and cold and unatural buildings. I see it everywhere, and it's just getting more depressing.
Is this a part of the greater plan for things? Cities are already souless as they are, thank God I moved to the countryside.
become an architect so you can design and build your own old timey architecture that nobody wants. People want sleek metal and glass because it looks cool.
Metal and glass are used because it's cheap. The entire city of Toronto is metal and glass and it's no better than commie blocks. It lacks character, it's cold, it's depressing. It is an ugly display of cultural decay.

It's also more cheap. Details costs and the contractors do not want to spend any penny more than the strict minimum. Also, Architecture is an extremely overrated position, enjoy working 70h/week and pulling allnighters while making only 40K per year (if you will find a job that is)

Modern architecture outside of Fr*nce was invented and promoted by literal jews from G*rmany and the Austrio-Hungary cockpire. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bauhaus
also that and are postmodern
Austin Miller
Because modern art is all coming out of the same cultural relativist lefty academia institutions as any given pomo garbage. These people aren't just ignorant of classical architecture and its aesthetic values, they hate it and desperately seek to destroy it to validate their own worthlessness. But that's what you get for tearing apart brutalism and inviting post-modern garbage into the world of architecture.

Thats a building in India that housed the richest man there. Tall, extravagant and at all pretty overlooking slums and street shiters. Very disgusting.
That’s literally the point of modern architecture.
Robert Price
It strips a nation of their nationalism and pride, and replaces it with a monolith monstrosity of Jewish modernist architecture.
Angel Hernandez
Yes, it looks really cool and futuristic. At night, when you can't see it, and its principal foundation is obscured by the lights. In the day time it looks like shit, and it usually is shit.

not that much worse than the usual skyscraper, as they are always eyesores

Angel Jackson
don't listen to this butthurt zürcher, this building looks totally fine, you can google more pictures with "messe basel" it is also used to hold fairs, so dunno what zürcher shlomo is looking for
This thing is just begging to be toppled like a Jenga tower

I grew up in Basel Stadt and recently moved to Basel Land. Lmao are you really proud of your Socialist shithole filled with Somalia/Niggers and Mudshits? Enjoy your weekly rapes on the Rhine and your night time promenades acomanpied by Nigerians trying to sell you weed and crack.

If you want buildings that look a certain way then commission one to be built. Don't complain "why don't buildings/paintings/sculptures look like I want" if you've never commissioned one. That's how things get made, someone pays for it.
>recognizing reality is Jewish Oh, you're right, people should bow to your tastes even though you aren't paying for it. Are you going to pay for a building to be built? Then why should they be built how you want them?
Joseph Bell
? I would never move to basel stadt, a liberal hellhole where you have to pay shitloads of taxes, basel land isn't much better in this regard >the solothurner living 10minutes from basel

most "modern" and "traditional" architecture is bland and ugly. I like stuff that looks good, regardless of it's subtype.
>oh goy why don't you use all your money and political power to invest in a multi million dollar building >just let your overlords do whatever they please its their right
You guys are stupid. Modernism only went mainstream because you nazi fucks decided to make a world war. The aftermath left many buildings destroyed so in order to rebuild everything it had to be done fast and cheap. Therefore the whole modern meme kickstarted by prefabricating houses influencing what we know so far as modernist architecture
No, really. If you want shit done, fund it. Crying about how Jews ruined architecture because you don't like it is hilariously pathetic.

>I dont own buildings and no sort of money to have them built >but they should look how I want >buildings ugly! Okay, why? Do you not understand how building things works? ?

i've known 3 architects, pretentious faggots
they really aren't needed, just copy what was done 100-200 years ago
another bunch of trash trying to justify their existence
Is that Titanic 2.0? I was thinking of buying a ticket - Third Class. I hear those Irish peasants put out.

Thankfully Italian city centers are quite beautiful. Step outside of it though and it's depressing and low quality

If you noticed that, bet you love noticing men's fashion looks like prison inmate attire now, and all women's fashion looks like whore >dress up and play, goyim
That too. But put your hand over the screen where their mouths are and cover their mouths and noses. Then take a look at the eyes again. These dolls influenced an entire generation of women. I am not that generation. I hated these dolls on sight.
The eyes are sizing you up. As prey. There is nothing normal, nice or nature about the stare in them. It's a predator stare. If you look even more closely and become redpilled on dolls, fashion, toys, and other pop culture, you can't miss that a lot of fear lurks behind eyes, makeup and clothing like that, as well. Despite the "wimmins stronk" narrative, a LOT of fear.

>this building looks totally fine No, it's degenerate. People who like that kind of architecture should be killed in the gaschambers.
>it is also used to hold fairs, so dunno what zürcher shlomo is looking for You're such a disgusting kike. On the day of the rope I hope you will suffer more than all the others.
>muh liberalism I've got a better idea: We brutally kill everyone who likes or wants to bulid in a modern style or preferes any form of degenerate art.
Noah Fisher
"Approach me. If you dare." They're like a hostile gay male caricature of what gays think women should be. Almost every female voice today in America is false and reflects that caricature.
Jose Carter
it's just realistic to me, women are essentially predators, they want to consume a man's cum and his money

If you believe we all do, Jewish myth making has done its work. >departs
Okay Mr. Switzerland, I'll bite. Modernity does not reflect the modern soul, it was made to influence the modern soul. Post modern art was funded by the CIA to assault the Russian Psyche, Jackson Pollock was a literal spook. Brainlets understand that Russia has was propagandized into the ground, but don't understand that the same has happened to the west. That Project Mockingbird is a resounding success, and that leaders of the Bolshevik movement are still in charge today.
Modern art is meant to leave you confused and disjointed. There is no way this could inspire or evoke any great sense of love or nationalism. This is meant to suppress those things, to make you feel the opposite of something grand or spectacular.
Bullshit, you fucking braindead spic. Modern architecture started in the 1920s and sometimes even earlier. The Bauhaus movement and the Internationales Bauen were the first styles to emerge as a counter point to classical beauty. Look up Alfred Loos the kiddyfiddler if you want to see the first of those degenerate works being built.
Consider that in order to reach "success" in economic, "power" terms, a woman must stay alone and refuse to marry. But the more successful a man wants to become, the more women he must marry, siphon and drain of all lifeforce like a gelfling, and then discard for a younger (read: more lifeforce) model. The more successful a male is, the more divorced wives or used-up thot pussy is behind him. Look up any famous male name, go to his biography, and inspect how many wives or ex-girlfriends he has. Then compare famous female names and there are usually one man or none. Be honest with yourself. You know it's true. Women in our natural state do not need or want men at all but men in your natural state CANNOT EXIST INDEPENDENTLY OF US and crave our pussy juice and our lifeforce.
The sooner you quit the blood libel of women the sooner you'll be less like a Jew. But you won't dare do that, will you? The above is said as a strict non-feminist. I know my place among men. To submit is to thrive. But you men need to take the blackpill about how dependent on female lifeforce: not mere pussy: you really are. You're vampires. Everything we women do is a reflection of and reaction to this. Face this. Imagine if gay men needed to predate on male energy this way. What would your lives be like, outside mass homicide/suicides?
Thanks for reading.

Modern Architecture is meant to reflect the thoughts of the individual. It is also not meant to last. Investors have realized a property worthy of one of these monstrosities is going to only increase in value and utility. These buildings are meant to be period pieces that are removed and replaced by the next trend repeatedly.
The sort of shit you can achieve with glass and metal as your building materials is different from what you can do with stone. Nobody is going to spend a boatload more money on importing a million tons of stone - not to mention the difficulty of finding stonemasons skilled enough to pull off all the fancy crenellations and buttresses and whatnot - when the materials, expertise and infrastructure to build glass and metal buildings are so much more easily available.

Christopher Sanders
shieet, i think very successful men just end up rich, so divorce isn't a big problem for them, or the women they marry and hand millions to

Because Western civilization was centered around the Christian faith, and most architectural elements had their source and origins in religious meaning, whether that be pagan (classical) or Christian (Catholic). After WWII, God was removed from society, so all of those aesthetic elements were removed from architecture. This was done on purpose. We are not allowed to have religious meaning tied to public art anymore.
