You most likely see something that is white/brown/beige/purple with smoothed panels that are at 90 degree angles only and the rest is glass.

What happened to architecture that contained beauty and effort? Not this nihilist asceticism (trying hard to not look like you're not trying hard) bullshit.

I want to feel awe struck when I go outside. I want see the return of effort-filled craftsmanship. Basically every structure that has been built in trend since 1900 is shit.

that old shit cannot compete with modern ingenuity

Brick houses.

>modern ingenuity

That looks like if a building was trying to be a relatively short caterpillar.

>ingenuity is a substitute for beauty
>implying it doesn't take ingenuity to build a dome that large in 1506

But are you ready to pay for it faggot?

Google imaged this because it's hidden behind a treeline, snow, and I'm not trotting outside in that shit to take a pic but say hello to my neighbor.

It's a mosque in the middle of cornfield,usa

Sure. I'd happily take a tax hike if it meant getting beautiful buildings again.

Nope

Mind you this isn't out my window and it's 2 streets away from my house but you get the idea

Move it and put this there.

Different mentalities. Old architecture was made to be as aesthetic as possible because it was going to be a permanent structure.

Modern buildings are just buildings, and can be destroyed at will. They are disposable, and thus not much thought goes into them.

There may also be a lack of people classically trained to be able to do the former.

Here's what you do, you take all the post-modernists and you put them in a room. Then you gas them.

looks like a klansman

Mormons are weird. But at least they're buildings are pretty and extremely damn clean.

Lived one year with this view

Would rather my taxes go to beautiful architecture and culture than to rapefugees and modern "art". Imagine what the west could accomplish if left to its own devices. Cancer cured, colonization of space, a high culture that would live forever. Instead we go the socialist route of creating equality by making everyone as miserable as possible, and demonizing beauty and creativity.

is not a bad sight tbqh fampai

I thought your flag was gay pride for a second.

>MFW I see buildings from the 1890s, glass wrapped skyscrapers, and neo Tyvek wrapped shitboxes

Thank you based Denver.

I still find the mountains of BC more impressive

10,000 years could pass and humans could go extinct but they'll still be here

>Norway

Oh no! You don't "feel awe struck" when you go outside? Shame. That stuff costs money. If you have that kind of extra cash go build your own fucking castle you stupid cunt.

>If you have that kind of extra cash go build your own fucking castle you stupid cunt.

This is the SBS station in Melbourne. It cost $500 million dollary-doos.

My money got spent on this fucking atrocity. I want my money spent on something beautiful.

HNNNNNNGGGGGGG

Efficiency

No one flies bricks across the ocean for aesthetic reasons. Humans live in an exponentially growing world, sacrificing unique stylistic approaches for efficiency.

>mfw barbarian shitskins will take over St Peter's, throw shit on the frescoes and smash the sculptures.

You Swiss are meant to protect the Vatican. It's going to be your fault.
