Why did we ever stop making our buildings like this? That's pretty snazzy and generally pleasant to look at.

Because they are costly and you don't have alot of space I guess
Jackson Fisher
Requires a long lost craftsmanship
Logan Kelly
Jews and european identity complex after ww2 did this
Thanks Marx
Thanks Lenin
Thanks Hitler
Thanks Stalin
Thanks Le Corbusier
Brody Lee
that's how cuckpitalism works, everyone is looking for profit and nobody cares about aesthetic anymore
Joseph Thomas
What about communism
They are capitalist too?
Easton Perez
cuckpitalism and cuckmoonism are essentially the two side of the same coin. Stalinism was lot better about buildings though.
Christopher Myers
It’s really popular to do that in America lately.
The architectural details are less expensive but the form’s the same: built right up to the sidewalk, windows on all sides for natural light, retail/office at the street level, residential above.
Tons of space actually. Ones in my town have mezzanines and stuff. But they are expensive because they’re in high demand and (currently) short supply. They’re building these everywhere though.
Joshua Gomez
I was talking about Bulgaria and maybe Europe in genral and not America
Noah Rogers
Because soviet modernism is way better and comfier.

It's alrigh tatar your country is beautiful. There's worse places that don't have buildings like that at all to start with
Eli Wood
>Thanks Stalin
Stalinist architecture isn't so bad actually. Neoclassicism was promoted.
Brayden Turner
Care to post an example?
William Robinson
no no plebe

time to get with the times okay gramps
Kevin Brooks

Neoclassicism is the start of the decline, really. It was intellectually and historically aligned with liberalism, republicanism, democracy, etc..
The whole of Western culture can be considered a battleground between the Gothic (detailed, beautiful, nuanced, creative, expressive, powerful, imposing, vital, brave, masculine) and the Classical (bland, ugly, minimalistic, reductive, meaningless, weak, mild, bloodless, meek, feminine).
Jaxon Evans
>masculine
>feminine
lmao imagine being this much of an incel
Christopher Williams
He is meming, Stalinist architecture is atrocious, it has some neoclassicist influence, but it's also bombastic and dehumanised

>why are we not suck in the 1800's still waaaaaaaah
Same reason everyone doesn't wear top hats and wigs still.
Jason Cruz
stripped classicism was aligned with Fascism.

Comrade Pekka pls go
Parker Gomez
Well, it really doesn't look that bad.
Nolan Anderson
*sour grapes intensify*
Most of finnish architecture looks autistic.
Brayden Torres
We need to evolve and modernize
Tyler White
Sure, but do we have to make the new things ugly?
Wyatt Young
Omg, who allowed this?
Carter Williams
Fascism is a super-modern ideology just the same as communism and liberalism.
Camden Reed
it's opposed to liberalism, republicanism, democracy
Hudson Reed
The Jews
Dylan Rivera
this sucks man
Jeremiah Cruz
Failed total genocide the worst day of my life
Jaxon Cox
The Jews must be behind this
Charles Flores
Just like brothers sometimes fight.
Oliver Lopez
oh meu Deus, por que?
well, to each his own, personally I hate it, it's especially depressing in winter
Oliver Perez
Unironically true
Alexander Morris
We never made them to begin with.
Ethan Gonzalez
Lol wtf is this trash
Classical civilization is the antithesis of literally everything you wrote
Eli Green
what are you? a monarchist?
Thomas Ward
The cancerous growth in pic related was designed by a Jew.
Jack Robinson
Wtf. Some of those windows wouldn't even get any light. What's the point?
That's why I prefer traditional achitecture and urban design: form follows function.
Austin Ortiz
I'm okay with modern stuff as long as the form is traditional (aka functional).
It's nice to have some modern stuff to spruce up a stuffy traditionalist atmosphere. But that pic is weird.
Jaxson Ramirez
: ^ )
Aaron Gomez
The old American skyscrapers were very traditional, while still welcoming in the modern age.
I'm a bigger fan of mid-rise buildings (because we have so few in America), but I always appreciate stuff like this. Really nice inside too.
Ethan Howard
Libeskind married into an influential Canadian family. As a visual artist he's a hack, although he was some kind of musical prodigy as a child.
Kevin Mitchell
>Classical civilization
Maybe.
>classical revivalism/neoclassicalism
Most assuredly not.
Thomas Reyes
Early american skyscrapers are awesome.
Colton Martinez
Do you want me to post ugly buildings created by whites/Canadians?
Isaiah Reed
There is no equivalent to Libeskind's cancerous defacement of an otherwise beautiful building.
William Garcia
>israeli architecture
Benjamin Barnes
What do you consider ugly though? Is this alright? It's Hearst Tower and it's been built on top of a six story office building from 1928. If you google it you'll see its true height, but I wanted to post the street level view to show what a pedestrian's impression of it is.
Isaac Lewis
I'm sure you've seen them all
Wow a pic from some shitty poor neighborhood (tbf Tel Aviv really is an ugly shithole)
pic related is more typical where I live
Aiden Gomez
>I'm sure you've seen them all
Find me an example, merchant.
>Wow a pic from some shitty poor neighborhood (tbf Tel Aviv really is an ugly shithole)
It's representative of downtown Tel Aviv. Israelis drank their own modernist flavoraid.
Dylan Rivera
I rather not waste my time looking for ugly shit, my point was that just because a Jew designed something doesn't mean all Jews like it
Glad I don't live in T*l Av*v
Juan Price
Literally looks like a tumor growing out of it
Ryan Rodriguez
>I rather not waste my time looking for ugly shit
Poor bluff. Libeskind is a royal flush. Here's Libeskind's Jewish museum in Berlin. topkek
Robert Hernandez
It's pretty popular to build in or incorporate neo-classical styles here, although large housing projects entirely in neo-classical style are still rare
Easton Walker
I love it.
Hudson Rodriguez
Nolan Scott
Looks comfy as hell. I'm assuming the street is for bikes and pedestrians rather than motor vehicles?
Robert Rivera
Proof that American architecture is the best
Jeremiah Bailey
Me too, although it feels a bit creepy to me that everything is so perfectly straight and clean. Old city centers here have a certain charm because the houses show wear & tear, are often leaning to the side or front and just show their age with pride. Recreating those city centers, but this time with everything perfectly clean & straight just kind of creeps me out
Yes this part is for bikes and pedestrians only
Here is the google street view link for the housing project

Samuel Cook
I think one of the main issues is that every building starts to look similar after a while. If they used a moderately different style or material for each building, it would look much more varied and less like a shopping center.
