>>131750754
No. People should be educated, and good culture should be financed. That way it will happen on its own. Straight-up government mandates don't do shit.

So far the government support of modernism looks very effective.

Post-modernism is when a modernist does not want people to fugure out his work is cancer. Picrelated a postmodernist abomination.

>>131750754

They are rebuilding the Garrison Church in Potsdam which was heavily damaged during WW2 and later demolished by the commie regime.
It is being financed with donations so maybe /pol/ can help out.
The lefties are vehemently opposed to the reconstruction because a) its a church and b) Hitlers inauguration as chancellor of Germany in 1933 took place in the church.

The domes was damaged in WWII, but it was in repairable condition.
But the commies decided to fuck up the entire castle instead, in the name of renovation, they've smashed ornaments and statues to pieces. Even after 1989, you could find giant statue pieces lying around the castle district.
Numerous buildings were demolished around the castle, and the castle itself was gutted out (even though the luxurious rooms were in good condition, evena fter the bloody siege of 1944-45).

Government just finances this, and various architectural boards, academia, cultural organizations etc. get the money, it's not exactly strictly government-mandated. If literally every senior architect that has a say in it had decent traditional values, you'd see something else entirely. If government was subverted to only finance bullshit, clearly the entire architectural establishment of a country could band together and lobby against it.

What I was really getting at with government mandates is that they automatically make the opposite of what's mandated subversive and cool and you get the constant push-and-pull between the "establishment" and the "young mavericks" so to speak, which actually does work but only if they're both two sides of the same overarching cultural coin, not when one aims to destroy everything (so again, education).

Here's an interesting tidbit of information on Birmingham. Most of its old buildings were destroyed in the 60's and 70's by a man called Herbert Manzoni. He felt that old buildings were worthless because they kept people thinking about the past. He knocked them all down and replaced them with modernist and brutalist buildings thinking that future generations would thank him.
'I have never been very certain as to the value of tangible links with the past. They are often more sentimental than valuable... As to Birmingham’s buildings, there is little of real worth in our architecture. Its replacement should be an improvement... As for future generations, I think they will be better occupied in applying their thoughts and energies to forging ahead, rather than looking backward.'

I agree, I had a conversation about this with an architect at uni a few years ago. I asked him why they insisted on building such dull and unimpressive modernist structures. He said that the cost of building structures like those in this thread is much higher than the financier is prepared to pay. In other words, modernism is the end product of an attempt by companies to cut costs.

Man, Socialist Realism is an art style, it's not architecture. In Russia there was a Constructivism architectural movement which was vastly used by soviets., but it's more Bauhaus-like. And the style you're talking about is referred as either Stalin's empire or Soviet neo-Gothic.

>Implying this is the end of the story
Let me tell you something about this forum:
It used to have a huge cross, held up by 4 angels at the top of it.

With main parts of the Stadtschloss being rebuilt, it was the question, to also reinstall this cross.

The left party and the green party, both huge in Berlin, were against it for the main reasons:

- The cross could distress muslim residents, as it features christian imagery in a prominent place

- The Humboldt Forum will showcase native art and pieces, so having a cross on top of the Stadtschloss would symoblize colonialism as the cross sits on top of indigenous art.

Even the muslim community said, they didn't care about the cross. The parties yet still stand adamant about it.
There was a critical article about this in the Zeit, a left-wing newspaper, critizising this irrational move by the parties.

Nothing has changed though

You can't do whatever you want here. Not even the color of the blinders.

Got another one for you, lads. It's a dual-Jew scam, too. There's the architecture itself, then the second entry fee (of course) to enter the Jew extension. It's supposed to point at the place where the first bomb fell on Dresden, but that will depend entirely on how tall you are and where you're standing while looking out. All I ever saw was the sky above the Elbe River Valley.

They're sometimes gorgeous. I love about half of all modernist architecture. The problem arises when it's an ugly design or it replaces something older and more beautiful.

i can assure you that egg shaped shit is not efficient in design or material, or energy if you count construction it took. at least compared to other buildings.

Fucking lol. Stealing architecture from Le Corbusier is like stealing melodies from Beethoven.
