jews

Revy is not for lewd!

She's such a horny slut i wanna be in a hentai world where i fuck revy 24/7 while shes a slave to my cock

TAKE IT BACK! TAKE IT ALL BACK!

Big impressive buildings are built when aristocrats have money to throw around. When a company or popular government builds a building, though, it tends to go with boring and functional.

Awesome question. I think about it all the time. No art woven into walls. No curves. Just boxy shapes. We live in boxes, travel in boxes, and work in boxes. It fucking sucks.

>south america
>literally just looks iberian

don't try to pretend that people outside of europe and east asia have a culture

Because capitalists are cheap whores

jewish architecture

Yeah, literally no one cares about "identity" any more. The private sector just hires architect who will make everything out of steel and glass because it's "the thing" now, and the government either doesn't have the money or is spending it on something that will actually keep the ruling party in power. My cousin is an architect and he hates his job to death because he'll never get to build something he'd like to see built

then she will be forced to drink every single semen i give to her and to the point that she depends on it everyday then when she at hospital she'll be fed semen by drip everyday while requiring to suck my cock everyday 24/7 and if she bites it she get shot cause no one bite my penis my penis is more precious than her life but then her life depends on my cum cummy cum:))))))))

Is that wood on the Russian buildings?
That's an arson case begging to happen.

Europe still retains buildings such as that. Hell I see newer architecture here that has such style.

Asia I have no idea. Although from history, I could say blatantly that traditional craft would be extremely up-market and again, arson case.

South America I suppose Cuba has that market still but they're too busy huffing the paint to make anything vibrant with it.

Not saying 'muh modern architecutre' is superior craftsmanship, I'm not in the trade. But, as such you'll still find botched minimalism and regressive slot-skyscrapers because a temple in the metropolitan area will get greenlit for graffiti, or tourism.
And god forbid that anything not be just business.

Where's Africa

AFRICA BTFO HOW COULD THEY RECOVER?!?!?!

Africa went from pyramids and ancient visitor -
kangz hybrids to mud huts

...

So you can't say you have any culture and bring more migrants.

Modern efficiency is "Jews", but watching cartoons and being an estrogen filled loser is totally red-pilled amirite?

Man-hours are much more expensive today than they were before, meaning we prefer to use modern low-maintenance materials and modern construction techniques with few decorations.

Well though I do admire traditional architecture and the beauty that resides with it, I can't ignore why buildings are being built the same way with the same drab, flat style: it's practical. The reason we build these flat boring skyscrapers with lots of windows is because they're cost effective to build, don't require as much time as a stone ediface or more stylised works and from the inside large windows offer great views. Now this does lead to some not so good trade offs as even the strongest windows can shatter unlesss you make them out of something retarded thick, and so must be replaced at some point. People are building high rises and skycrapers not to build something beautiful that will also have practical use as office space but are simply building maximized office space for use. Long term these buildings have to redone, have the metal and plastic sheeting on the exterior replaced with the windows every couple decades whereas more traditional buildings, though don't offer large windows usually, require less maintenance even over a century or two. If you want a good thought experiment, examine your local buildings and ask, if everyone were to just up and vanish, what would be left standing in two or three centuries? The modern buildings of mostly glass would eventually collapse after water gets in, after all the glass will shatter or break over time. But those with stone edifice and smaller windows would hold up for at least a century before the elements destroys it internally. It's unfortunate that we've gone the other route but what can we do I guess.

>European education

Holy fuck are you actually this stupid? Or are you just pretending?

A globalized world needs globalized shitty buildings and English streetsigns.

Not sure what your problem is, our unis teach people that national identity is bad and corporate profits are everything.

>watching cartoons and being an estrogen filled loser is totally red-pilled amirite?
>implying

Cultural marxism/globalism

Because the Jews don't want you to be happy. A happy world is a free-thinking one. If you're happy, you won't buy your masters goods and help them rule the world. :^)

Because function youtu.be/BFjEzNTxxYg

Space is a commodity

why do you post this everywhere

>j-jokes on him, I'm not FILLED with estrogen...

...

JUST

>j-jokes on him, I'm not JEWED because I dont watch cartoons...

efficiency, traditional buildings can take over a decade to build while most of these modern buildings take up to 3 years at most.

Whenever they try to imitate the traditional style it usually sucks.

Who the fuck thought that was a good idea? It's like they wanted to make it traditional yet modern and abstract all at the same time. Please tell me this is just an elaborate shop.

Society became all about business, business, business.

I'm not just talking about architecture, because there are practical reasons for that, but even interior design and decoration has become boring, cold and sterile for no good reason other than "work is cool goyim! don't relax!"

Actually, yes, we fucking do

has russia ever had good architecture? don't give me that byzantine WE WUZ tier shit either

Asian architecture looks like shit.

And no way do all skyscrapers look the same.

>tfw new grand cathedrals and Gothic architecture never ever
I can't be the only one with a hard on for these kinds of buildings

Trigger warning

They discovered how to build steel and glass structures which are far cheaper and more durable. If you want to deal with the problems of maintaining a medieval building for your home or office, do it.

So what, were people 200 years ago so much richer than today?
>Function
Beautyfull buildings can be functional.
>Sustainability
I bet older buildings tend to last more than modern quickly build crap.

Destroying traditional architecture = huge blow to national identity.

>Vlad the Implier rolls Satan quads
Checked

Also, way faster to build these days

And we pray to black boxes

>durable
pic related was demolished because the basement started to rot away, thus making the entire building unstable.

...

I swear every time a belgian flag posts it's always a low iq retarded comment.

Because it takes time and effort Jew and we must defeat the Jew so we can become chimps again.

>demolished because the basement started to rot away
the joys of communism

modern modular maintainable

commieboxes are even worse, they are a ticking time bomb. They were built for 40-50 years, not for eternity You can't renovate them eventually they'll start rotting from the inside.
In a gas explosion or a fire, they'll collapse like a house of cards.

Lol the Saudis have ruined the local history and architecture of Mecca
>now

>then

Tbh modern luxury houses look actually very good

>You can't renovate them eventually they'll start rotting from the inside
Just throw some paint on them and they're A-OK

t. post-socialism

Even in my most bluepilled days this bothered me. I was in an (European) Ethnic neighborhood this weekend and it struck how the buildings maintained a distinct sense of beauty and were well maintained. This was a ghetto these people were forced into. Now it's the most aesthetic neighborhood in my city, one of the most expensive and a destination for tourists. Identity is a powerful thing.

No it doesn't you retarded communist

>>Sustainability
>I bet older buildings tend to last more than modern quickly build crap.

Thats the point Satan
Need to keep the construction industry working

>Build your disgusting office building with a regular basement 50 meters form the river bank
>Basement gets flooded every year
>30 years, and the ferroconcrete is beyond repair
>Government decides to demolish the abandoned building and build a new one with the original facade plans
>(((modern architects))) start chimping out, saying it was a masterpiece
pic related is from the basement.

This was a working class Irish neighbourhood in my city, the residents went to work in the distilleries nearby. Now these houses are millions of dollars

And this is a modern lower class neighbourhood, one of the poorest neighbourhoods in Canada

I like it, would probably be fun to stay there for a few days. But actually living in such a home seems like a nightmare

Looks like something I would've built in The Sims

they have such wonderfully progressive diversity NOW though, all those old buildings were racist because they made foreign people feel bad because it didn't look like back home in "Syria" so now everywhere looks the same because we're all the same race the human race god bless i need to go smell my own farts now

And this is why when (((they))) say "diversity", I have no idea what the fuck they're talking about

>tfw they build so many mcmansions

Next time someone says that we are richer than our ancestors, point this out as a counter example. It doesn't get any more obvious than this.

How so?

looks a little tacky tbqh user
I'm a minimalist who loves the international style of architecture but I'm conflicted.
They were mostly (but not all) lefty socialists, and minimalist architecture is generally soulless and I think bad for the soul.
The japanese are very good at having the best of both worlds and finding harmony in even small spaces, but tinyhouses are narcissistic garbage.

More like the joys of armoured concrete

That's really nasty, we never really get anything like that here. Pretty much every single house here that's built today is emulating some old style I think it turns out pretty good

Nigeria has buildings? I knew they weren't as shitty as most of Africa but i didn't know they had buildings with more than two floors.

I just tagged myself, traitor (((Trump))) will be impeached.

If you're a exhibitionist whore maybe

just stop please, you're embarassing

It's ugly as hell, has no character is cheap and disgusting. It will last maybe 10 years then need to be torn down. We have huge problems here with these glass boxes the glass always falls out because of our weather it's retarded

Oy vey let me improve your buildings goyim.

D-DELETE THIS!

I hate this so much, I remember when I was a kid and you would enter from the old enterance into this beautiful foyer

The final evolution of modern architecture is the greenhouse

Cultures are getting blander for everyone to fit in. Thank globalization for that.

That looks like something that could have collapsed any moment

Now you enter through here

they have a lot of oil money

Look up Moscow metro

Anyone who's been to China can tell you that picture simply isn't fucking true. There's plenty of gorgeous and uniquely Chinese tenements and skyscrapers.

you have to go back

People living in the first world can afford to travel overseas for holidays, Tyrone.

jesusfucking christ, thats so disgusting

Have you ever noticed how modern architecture appears everywhere but seems to belong nowhere? Reminds you of its (((architects))).

They've scammed their way into some buildings mate
