They display the values of a society and how they view the past and the present. Western architecture since World War 2 has been dominated by forgetting the past in an attempt to move on past the massive destruction which took place.

I bet those houses cost millions. They look nice though. Too bad the city turned into turbo lib mecca.

San Fran may be a liberal shithole but they have actively preserved their Victorian houses.

Architecture is rooted in tradition, many buildings look similar because they were built the traditional way. Traditional building techniques were built to last, at great expense.
Modern buildings are built cheaply and quickly, with no regard for how they fit into the landscape around them.

The last time one was sold it was around $10 million. They come with a park of tourists that will be out front taking pictures every sing day.

Strange how miljonprogrammet marked the beginning of Sweden's decline.

No, the miljonprogrammet is merely a symptom of our decline as a culture ongoing since the women got the vote

Good reasoning. You're probably right.

Why do Europeans live like ants?

It's not economically feasible for everyone to live in a mansion or house

Architecture reflects society.

For example, in Europe the architecture is ancient and sophisticated, in the United States it's fake, as cheap as possible, and probably made out of cardboard.

brutalism>architecture you like

Strange how it seems to be the opposite of population density. I always thought it was related.

Concrete without imagination is better than classical architecture? A five year old could construct that building.

Maybe it is because the individualist mentality of the population?
Also countries like the UK, Netherlands, etc are very flat and easy to built on, though the houses there are usually tiny, attached to each other and have a very tiny yard if any.

The Netherlands and the United Kingdom do love their rowhouses.

Maybe it's also the shorter distances between cities that don't force everyone to live in the same city, in the Netherlands it's easier to live outside a city and commute to work.

>implying they live like this by choice

Dreary, isn't it?

But if >pic related is a better option?

Pic related is a better solution.
