What happened to architecture?
>>134535867
Whe you look at the dates at which architecture declined it's hard not to point to the decline of Christianity in the west. Combine that with feminism and globalism and the general declines in standards and you have civisational decline that is reflected in architecture.

> peeled section of complex which will have reconstruction and renovations with in half a year
> apartment sales adverts start to show up, medium price per a unit is around 300k€ (like anyone is going to pay that shit)
> further another 400 meters, renovated area appears, architecture style is straight up from past 3 years (loft housing designs without brick walls)
> most of the area is owned by a hotel, some services are available
> more apartment sale company booths, a lot of people in their 50'S with fancy expensive cars driving around
I suppose the whole plan was already figured by mid 90's, as near by housing units were renovated for workers to move in.
They are probably gonna turn the area into rich Prussian granpa pension resort and hotel area into family resort destination for lower income class families.

Because foreign investors don't care for the local architecture, so the architects design anonymous structures to appeal to lowest common denominator.
This of course makes the modern architecture seem prestigious and associated with wealth, which in turn ensures that it's perpetuated by local
investors and other contractors as well.

It's nothing to do with that.
There's two minds in architecture.
Artists who don't care for efficiency and want their name on something.
Architects who are hired to make a building and told to cut costs as much as possible.
There's a bit of overlap depending on the purchaser of the plans hence why alot of skyscrapers are purposely made to be attractive but alot of buildings are just made one way or the other.
I personally hate both mind sets and there's definitely an overlap for having good looking buildings that are efficient to build.
Its why people refuse to live in flat blocks because the majority look like cattle farms from the outside when they'd love it if they looked like the luxury kind, despite there being little cost difference in production.

Jews.
The thing is, Jews genetically have lower visuo-spatial intelligence but higher mathematical and linguistic intelligence. So anything they make is biased towards disregarding aesthetics in favor of simply creating the most "mathematically elegant" construction. This is why they seem "filthy" in some way even if one can't really understand why one would think so. Think Starbucks and their business practices. They have the luxury of ignoring "good taste" in everything they do which means that they can do porn just as well as pastries - all they see is numbers and legal contracts.
From that perspective the lower building is more "beautiful".
Look at this German abomination. It's is so over the top, so cheesy, it's cringeworthy. Literally Turkmenistan tier. Germans literally had a one job - just hire Italian pro.

As I understand this outgrowth monstrosity was to be all glass, so the interior was well lit, spacious and inviting. Due to the architect being incompetent, much of that glass had to be replaced with other material in order to maintain its structural integrity. So now its interior is dark and uninviting. Furthermore it's in snow territory so they have to shut down the sidewalk lest passers-by be crushed by falling clumps of buildup in the winter. Does anyone know who the architect was for this?

A Finngolian I once knew elaborated on this saying that Helsinki used to be a beautiful city with combinations of old Swedish and Imperial Russian architecture, but that it was all torn down because Scandinavians saw Brutalism as the architecture of a modern, progressive society, mirroring what was happening in the Soviet Union.

The older one, nicer one, was largely destroyed after the second world war. Mind you, much of the structure did remain and it could've been rebuilt exactly the same.
Commies don't like good architecture though.
Let's assume for a minute that not literally every architect on the planet is "in on it."
What practical reason is there for these shit designs? Are they cheaper? Do they take less time? Easier to prefab?

Well there are some benefits. On occasion, this doesn't apply to everything in the thread, there is a better use of space. Squares will obviously give you more room than angles. It is quicker to build most of the time.

modern architecture takes advantage of structures and technologies that make buildings way more resistant than those old and ugly buildings.
>>134546252
Easier, cheaper, take less time. Literally no other reasons. Architects are like modern artists today, they all want to stand out by making the most ridiculous looking structures rather than focusing on making something simplistic yet aesthetically pleasing and familiar. And most civil engineers don't have any artistic ability but are great at designing efficiently. If only we could get some traditionalists into the architecture field instead of nancy-boy post-modernists with crazy haircuts and designer glasses trying to erase our cultural heritage.
>>134546345
I understand the point you're making, but that comparison isn't exactly fair. The World Trade Centers were specifically attacked. Most buildings that get bombed or burned or have a plane crashed into them directly do not remain in usable condition.
I think it's down to the methods of education/building we use today compared to the past. Now people are broadly educated on a range of subjects and building work is partly automated, and done to specification and regulation. In the past, apprentices would train solely on architecture or sculpting or masonry and so a smaller amount of highly specialized experts would design buildings. The downside to that was the time/cost of making stuff, but the upside is it looks a lot more ornate and artistic.
It would be impractical to build in the same fashion that allowed for classical architecture. That doesn't mean modern buildings can't look good.
>>134546637
As a Brazillian, you probably are never even exposed to actual architecture. Most of what we build today will not be around in 100 years. Cheap materials and cheap designs.

It usually happens when their instinct to use jewery clashes with the lack of spacial reason and ability to keep sight of the bigger picture.
Mostly this happens when you know more about a subject then they are trying to bullshit you on using their verbal intellect.
They miss out on details and facts not being able to understand them whilst busy getting stuck in their dogmatic need to create verbal concepts of lies.
They never express their shame, you just see them twitch their eyes a bit just standing there dumbfounded after which they slowly and quietly egress to reboot or something.

>Why do they think it looks nicer?
I can't answer that. It's just the current trend.
Why did people in the 20s think Art Deco was nicer than Beaux Arts?
If you look up the history of architecture, though, this all spilled out of the second world war. Modernism existed before it but the type we see today is absolutely a result of the end of WWII.
>Does the average person think it looks nice?
People like change sometimes. Out with the old, in with the new. The question is if it withstands the test of time. And, no, everyone is regretting it.
When Penn Station in NY was destroyed most in NY were ardently against it. The outrage was so apparent that NY established an organization to prevent changing certain buildings. Same with the Singer Building. People were and are pissed.

The word racist was made (in to a bad thing) by internationalist globalist jewish commies in order to destabilized a existing nation.
They do this to take over the means of production and gain control over the assets of set nation whilst being foreigners themselves.
In Charles Malato’s Philosophie de l’Anarchie (1897) we find both raciste and racisme:
No doubt that before arriving at complete internationalism, there will be a stage which will be racism;
but it must be hoped that the layover will not be too long, that it will be rapidly surpassed. Communism, which appears that it must inevitably be regulated at the beginning of its functioning,
especially in regard to international trade, will bring about the establishment of racist federations (Latin, Slavic, Germanic, etc.). Anarchy — which we can glimpse at the end of two or three generations when,
as a result of the development of production, any regulations will have become superfluous — will bring the end of racism and the advent of a humanity without borders.

>Although New York had a newly created Landmarks Preservation Commission by the time demolition commenced in 1967, and the Singer Building was considered to be one of the most iconic buildings in the city, it did not receive landmark designation, which would have prevented it from being torn down. Alan Burnham, executive director of the commission, said in August 1967 that if the building were to have been made a landmark, the city would have to either find a buyer for it or acquire it
One of the biggest cities in the planet couldn't afford to buy a skyscraper, or find a new buyer. Riight...

Pretty much. The hallmarks of all dying empires and cultures are
>rejection of religion
>apathy and pessimism
>liberalizing politics
>constant political infighting
>decline in the arts and architecture as shallow vague intellectualism overtakes earnest pursuit of true deeper meaning and indepth thought
>influx of foreigners
Its happened in one way shape or form to every collapsing empire ever. We are currently in the stagnant and decadent phase of culture. Nobody pioneers anything anymore. Nobody believes in anything anymore. True progress and advancement is replaced by petty intellectualism that talks and talks but never accomplishes anything but spurring more infighting over trivial subjects while the empire crumbles around their overeducated under worked heads.
When the byzantine empire had 250,000 turks marching on its walls the grand viziers and high poobahs all clustered around tables arguing this and that. It was all a moot point. 50 years of self destructive political intrigue, neglect of the army, and decay of the general culture had destroyed the nation decades earlier. The ottomans were just the coup de grace.
The doomed general who would die in a few weeks charging the breech in the walls asked the sarcastic and rhetorical question "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin."
He knew. He knew his once mighty nation had fucked and partied and spent itself down to just a single city-state and now it was too late for the thinkers and schemers to save themselves.
We are heading there now. Gonna take a few decades, maybe even a century. But western culture is collapsing.

The interesting thing is that the majority of empires last about 250 years regardless of level of technology. Technology determines the shape of an empire by limiting or expanding where they reach, but it seems to have no effect on longevity.
Also equating tech to cultural development and empire health doesnt work. The british empire that collapes just after ww2 proves this. They had MORE tech. Theyd built their empire on wooden ships and muzzle loading muskets, and lost it despite posessing giant battleships and tanks. A cultures apathy and inability to maintain it's holdings has nothing to do with tech. Its about the willpower to utilize the power tech brings, which it seems has a pretty well defined expiration date.

Mamelukes actually did have a specific day for both founding and falling but you are correct. The dates can be shifted right and left depending on debate over historic events and their significance, that was a general estimate, which is as good as you can usually do with empires.
But denying that there is a pattern in behavior present is stupid. Its not really a huge claim to look at history from a larger view and point out that our species has a tendency towards patterns of behavior that regardless of time, tech, or geography stay the same.
People in the past werent any more stupid or intelligent than we are. We are still the same creatures the romans or the persians were. Its not exactly a huge claim to say we will trend towards the same behaviors. Its not a garunteed death sentence, but its pretty telling that 240 years into our existence were culturally stagnated.
The Modern and Post-Modern art we see today is the inevitable conclusion of human desire to constantly envolve, create the new and unseen, and to challenge ideals of the past to gamble for a better future. Changes in the past are subtle, since development up until the last 200 years or so was slow. With the rise of industrialism and machines that automated once mundane and tedious tasks, infrastructure exploded, populations exponentially grew larger, and artists were seeing societal changes at a pace never seen before by man. It can be argued this change was first seen among the impressionist painters who adopted their own unique techniques and styles in a reaction to this new, fast-paced world where change was inevitable. This reaction reflected people's thoughts on this new normal, where the past became unexciting in a modern world filled with more man-made marvels than ever before. It was precisely this environent and collective mindset that gave way to the rise of modernism, and from modernism, the post-modernism. What you see today is the combination of human desire to evolve and plan for a better future, and the rapidly expanding industrial and post-industrial eras of the 19-21st centuries. To some, the aesthetics that rise from this era are beautiful in that they are new, exciting, and fascinating. The reflect the progress we have made the past centuries, and the progress left to be done. To others, it is a sign of decline in culture, where material beauty and perfection was replaced by conceptual ideas and novelty.
We live in an exciting time where we are at crossroads since post-modernism is quickly reaching dead-ends; do we reject novelty in favor of ideals we once valued, or continue this progress and see where it goes? A sign of the choices being made here are reflected in contemporary art, design, and architecture, and the battle between these two paths seem to only be growing until the people choose which they find more aesthetically appealing.
Gotta say I love mid-century modern for personal residences though,
