The United States of Jewmerica and their ugly skyscrapers happened

da j00s

(((them)))

Prices went up, and everything became about cost; they couldn't care less about beauty.

Literally jews.

Look into the history of brutalism and other shitty "art" buildings and 9/10 times it's a jewish architect.

Money money money, it's all jewy, this is why the world suck

functionality over beauty

EMJ is pretty good, haven't read any of his books but listened to some youtube talks

>Skyscrapers are ugly

There is one good looking building in that pic and it only looks good because it borrows gothic aesthetic; the rest are garbage.

the guy is based af

Jews. Look at most architectural designers now and they're all uncreative and evil Jews.

the only good looking skyscraper was singer building in new york and americans demolished it

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.

We fixed it

...

>Art deco = gothic
go home brainlet

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.

T. Architecture major

...

Goddamn kikes again. Miserable shits.

>inb4 we can't build stuff like we did 100 years ago

art deco borrows features from gothic and simplifies them to kikeish rubbish

This one is really sad

That's the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. It's actually really cool

Postmodernism happened

Even commies knew how to build good buildings

Labor became expensive

Post-modernism, which is the clusterfuck style that everyone hates here, is absolutely not about functionality.

That looks like some screwed up fetish

why bother building this shit

Capitalism will always bring out the bes-

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

I wouldn't call it good. But still better than post modernism

It's a bad lie, the truth is that the post-modern architecture is a self-replicating meme among people in power and those with the money.

post-modernism/cultural-marxism, aka that one group

On a side-note, does anyone here have that image with architecture before and you see a like different old buildings from and one with architecture now and you see the same skyscraper

It's sad that new classical buildings always look cheap and fake compared to the old one, still, infinitely more pleasant to the eye than the 2015 one.

This?

Le Corbusier was a gentile Frog.

Nah, the one I'm talking about are pencil drawing.

This?

It's just a cheap rendition, give it time and weathering and it will be good.

The new designs look cheap and fake mainly because the tradition is broken and most modern architects have not a single clue how to design a traditional building. However there are few (self educated?) experts who know this stuff and their designs are pretty good.

If /ourguys/ win the cultural war, expect endless demand for skillful traditional architects. If you are in the business, learn the traditions now, you have just enough time to become a new Albert Speer.

Sadly becoming a qualified architect is hard as fuck, I'm too old already and probably also don't have the dedication.

I'm doing le graphic design, maybe I can slightly improve the world by leaning to more graphic design. But you know all the jobs are in soulless ad companies with a culture Sam mocks in this video: youtu.be/FLb7mgYU-qI

What do...

Also he had no formal education, just as the other famous commiejew modernists. Many of them, like Gropius, couldn't even draw. however they were very successful in writing nutjob manifestos reeking of socialism and globalism. They were conmen, not architects. And their descendants built a system, where you have to have endless amounts of formal education and job practice approved by (((them))) to design anything.

Nope. Production is like 100x cheaper than ever. Labor costs are irrelevant.

Brazil

>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.

Jews.

Everything is done in AutoCAD now, no passion anymore

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.

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

...

Communism. modern architecture is a direct assault on national individualism, tradition and culture.

We just improve it

>I have no idea what I'm talking about

This explains modernism, but not post-modernism.

...

Not bad.

This.

In germany those ornaments are even removed.
they are only done when every last bit of our identity is destroyed

French people ruin everything with their German-esque autism

>everything needs to look like a cathedral or a nazi castle

that's pretty cool

It is THE JEWS! my friends. It is they who are to blame.

If this were the case every building would just be a concrete cube.

I see no problem with that.

No one has said that.

Don't think.
Don't protest.
Your future is good.
Be assimilated in new humanity.

>no respect
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.

So capitalism is to blame.\

holy shit minecraft irl?

...

...

they started hiring women

...

That looks tacky and el cheapo as fuck. Like a gothic version of the McMansion.

...

...

...

also this is the new design for the city palace from berlin
at first they wanted to rebuild it like it originally was. then they decided it was too nationalistic and only reconstruct one side of the building. the other sides are in a modern design to show how germany went from that evil prussian
fascistic empire to a modern republic
also the crucifix that originally was on top of the building wont be added and inside the city palace they want to put a museum for african arts

Yeah it isn;'t all about cost-saving, else we wouldn't have stupid designs like this

implying they arent

...

Architect with a masters degree here AMA

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

>>Nothing. You are only considering the best of the past and the worst of the present
Total bullshit.
Browse the site of ANY architectural firm in the top 50 global in size (you can find such lists online). The shit you see ITT is pretty representative of their work.

>I am convinced people will look back on us today and wish they could go back to the tradition of post-modern buildings
No. You'll find most people ITT dislike the original postmodern shit from 100+ years ago. The "it'll get better with age" shtick is baloney.
It was shit then. It is shit now. It'll be shit in the future.

Topkek that modernists and postmodernists have to actually use the logic "j-just give it time".

I wouldn't know, I don't live in a former Soviet eastern bloc country.

Columns make my dick rock hard

Beautiful building!!

Thi is El Palau by Lluis Doménech Montaner in Barcelona, Spain

Post Modernism was a huge hit with commercial office buildings and are easily found in any large city as there was a great boom in construnction in the 80s to early 90s

this is what our government built when we needed 1 million residents.

fuck forgot pic
