Nothing. You are only considering the best of the past and the worst of the present. The sheer volume of buildings and rapid rise of technology implanted into buildings (really only the past century of a trade that spans millennia) of course form and function of the buildings are going to change drastically. I don't have anything against someone who prefers classical architecture, but like anything, it takes time. I am convinced people will look back on us today and wish they could go back to the tradition of post-modern buildings because, with soulless chinks making prefab building parts in their factories, future architecture will be even more sterile and removed from what we've known.

Also, other good looking skyscraper

Before WW2 a German architecture school called Bauhaus with mostly Jewish members basically scattered its members across the planet, spreading the "international style" (IE boxy architecture with shitloads of windows, your average modern skyscraper). It caught on because architecture like any art rebels against the previous generational style, and this style was a stark contrast to what came before.

That's how it began, but it didn't get better over the next half century.

Same as what happened to art. They decided all the ornamentation and beautiful forms had to go, for instance Le Corubusier with his brutalism wanted to evoke moods devoid of beauty. At that point they tried to implement utilitarian design which led to things like the huge tower blocks in Britain, but now with Post-modernism even the last vestiges of structure are being stamped out. I'm not even sure what they're trying to do now, with their hideous alien-like shit

>t. student of architecture
How much flexibility is there at university when studying architecture? Obviously you're going to be pressured into designing contemporary shit, but are you able to stray into more traditional styles whatsoever? I'm guessing it's pretty restrictive, especially in the later years of the degree where you'd have to be more pragmatic in terms of conforming to current architectural standards.

I agree. Post-modernism/cultural-marxism has no respect for history or culture that belongs to them. They are all about CHANGE! Change change change. They have to progress and move forward.. Also the cost to make those pretty old school buildings is probably pretty high. need experts that can do the design and execute it as well. People with skills that can do things cost money and time to track down and the building would personally take more time to erect. So I'll throw the blame on financiers too.

>>136820669
This. Everything became about expediency, efficiency, and cost. As long as a building is cheap to build and maintain, and close to a major highway that's all that matters

Of course they don't, the past represents the oppression of the working proletariat. Therefore to destroy that order in every aspect of society, is of utmost importance in symbolising the rejection of the bourgeois and the liberation of the working masses. It is the systematic elimination of constructed oppression through whatever means necessary.

To answer your question, architecture, like art, music, etc lives in the times in which it was created. Just like big band music is no longer popular in 2017, Gothic revival, is no longer popular after the decade in which it was started

It's actually interesting, in a way.
These people want to make EUrope ugly. They want to insult and degrade it.
The obvious thing for them to do first was to just go to blank concrete boxes.
They did that. But they eventually got bored. They have wanted to innovate and do something different, but they must always stick to the principle that it has to be ugly and insulting to the people who live with it.
So when you look at the modern designs, you should be conscious that the thought process of the architect has largely been "how can I have some fun with the design of this whilst still ensuring that at no point does it become attractive."
That's why you see things like randomly coloured classing or wonky windows or buildings which look like grills and such. It's all design-work which provides some form of style whilst never becoming attractive.

Modern architects are just the whores of corporations.
To them, people are simply economic units. And buildings are only there to house the economic units.
These economic units only require a building that enables them to work efficiently, in a town plan that enables them to get to work efficiently. Thus profit is brought to the corporation.
The economic units have no spirit, thus aesthetic design is irrelevant.

Kek yeah it's pretty ironic. Same with many of the students themselves. I saw a video on youtube of some architecture students going on an excursion to Europe as part of their degree to see the great old cities of Europe. Everyone agreed that the buildings were beautiful, but then continued to design the same old uninspired postmodern crap.

Their unique style is in very small amounts. This thread is pretty fucking dumb where idiots glamorize the areas are mostly tourist traps in those areas. Its the same thing the U.S. does when they dump money into making a town look more rustic to get the attention of dumb boomers and hipsters.
What we see in architecture from back then was when the local elite had money to spend to make areas they like look better. Usually in the more affluent areas as these will be places they mostly frequent in their lives. People tend to ignore other parts of town that were basic as fuck to look at during their time and feel this retarded need of muh past looked better because they lived in the current time.

Yeah, in retrospect I'm extremely happy that I had the chance to do so. Though, when I was on the tour, I could barely stand on my legs from anxiety, I felt so far out of my depth.

You see that cupola in the middle of the building? That entire dome is just there to house the crown, which is at the bottom of the floor. The chandelier is so high up, that they need a guy to climb up the roof from the outside, hang down through a hole like tom cruise in mission impossible, so he can switch the light bulbs. Apparently it is so complicated, that they only do that when some major foreign embassy comes to visit, like the Queen of England or so.

Architecture, like many things involving design, is converging in design and people are trying to find a way to be distinct. The shit we say today is a few big names in architecture getting a global platform and ignoring the culture of the surrounding areas as people just want their building design for status.

I have a great example in what good architecture can be if people take into consideration of the history and where the fuck up. My university, UTEP, has originally started the most recent campus with the Bhutanese styling. This style was kept and maintain over the years where you see the so call "traditional" buildings that are now mixed with different styles of building trying to imitate the style. The only exception on campus is the dumbass fine arts building for some ungodly reason. Looking at the rest of the campus you can see modern designs that very much cater to the original style of the first buildings built on campus. We even had a real Lhakhang that was a gift to the University from the Bhutanese.

are you proud of it? It appears well made.

Practicing archifag here. What happened with architecture is a long story. Basically back in the day you had either a religion or the crown spending fuck loads of money to impress and attract plebs or other aristocrats. Lots of money being funneled into projects where the craftsmen and labors basically had free reign and long term employment. Little money went to architects whose responsibility was basically making sure everything came together harmoniously.

After that the merchant class appeared who found their own small fortune and decided to spend it as an attempt to show their status. See Venice.

Architecture until the 1800s existing as an "I'll have one of those". Meaning the client would ask the architect to design a building in an existing style of gothic, classical, Romanesque etc. The craftsmen knew the detailing and what the aesthetics were for these McHistorical styles. Architects became bored with being a glorified burger flipper and were jelly of the engineers who, thanks to steel, were able to free to create something new and unshackled from the regurgitated styles of the past few hundred years. During the 1900s architects tried to find themselves but were interrupted by the two world wars. This prevailing mind set still continues however and architects were adamant about throwing off historical influences as to lead humanity into a future where there was to be no more conflict by making everything functional and essentially look then same.

Postmodernism art came where shock and awe was the only way to distinguish yourself in a post consumer society. People were bored of the tired and old and wanted to see the next best thing which often meant it was the most grotesque. See "piss Jesus." Architects copied this attitude and we ended up with Zaha Hadid, Peter Eisenman and Frank Henry. We are now in a recovery phase of this era but large contemporary architecture projects are commissioned by budget constrained entities who dont value decoration.

>Architects became bored with being a glorified burger flipper and were jelly of the engineers who, thanks to steel, were able to free to create something new and unshackled from the regurgitated styles of the past few hundred years

My understanding was that architects became divorced from urban planning/design and other facets of development whereas before things we're more unified. So architecture was 'elevated' to an art and became less considerate of everything else. Buildings aren't made to fit-in with the city, but made to stand out. And I also think you fail to mention the effect of advanced transportation technology (i.e. cars) on architecture.
