I wouldn't say that in Chinese cities everything works, they're certainly impressive though.

Don't know why but I find Chinese cities extremely unappealing, would certainly never live there. Here's a new development in Milan anyway

Stay inside.
We have central cooling here that goes up to 5 C
Also just be active at night/dusk

AD is humid and spacious, but it has some cool sites.
Also they're making AC beaches there.

I guess, they give me some weird sensation of an alienated and alienating place. I used to be a cyberpunk kid and would love hyper-futuristic stuff, but then I realized that it only looks good in films and vidyas

cyber punk is about alienating experience so it's a completely understandable sensation

Kitties loves them too

Why do worship this glass-and-steel architecture? You know that every of these buildings look the same, no matter in which country you are? It's a globalist attempt to destroy local culture.

I fucking love globalism.

And you can fuck off to /pol/.

Another thing I've never understood is the photographers need to oversaturate night skyline pics with blue filters (such as >>77345527). Is it just to make your photo look more futuristic or something?

>>77347568
this one isn't oversatured

ever heard of blue hour?

>>77348442
eh, I don't know a lot when it comes to photography, I just find it curious that photographers seem to love this blue shade so much when it comes to skylines

>>77349024
This one>>77342653 for instance does look a bit saturated

>Beautiful backdrop of tropical mountains
>Narrow streets and no cars
>Bright colors everywhere
>Houses all blend together, no major clash in aesthetics like in American cities
>Has a regional vibe unlike le generic Chinese future cities
Is anyone else here fascinated by the architecture of favelas? I know they're pretty shit to live in atm due to gang violence and petty crime, but I think we take a lot away from their design.

>>77352010
>design
There is nothing designed about a spontaneously grown slums.
>Theri infrastructure is insufficient for the density of population.
>The way streets are build favors crime and insecurity.
>People living in favelas are socially discriminated, since those areas are seen as violent, poor, and overall the worst part of it's city.

>>77352469
I'm not saying that favelas or any other slums are good places to live, just that I like certain aspects of how they look.
