Why has architecture in the west become stale, whilst in the east, its flourishing?

Why has architecture in the west become stale, whilst in the east, its flourishing?

Seriously you find this building beautiful?

It's really ugly.

The West isn't really fond of tearing down 18th century buildings to erect generic glass garbage

Its better for architects try be a little creative and fail a few times, than stick with whats safe. This what happened in Melbourne, and now we have one of the ugliest most generic skylines in the developed world. Im sure itll become a classic eventually. Many iconic buildings were criticized as ugly at first.

>modern architecture cant be beautif.....

THE CHAD SKYLINE

rubbish

That's actually pretty nice. It reminds me of those 1950 style cars

The needle ruins it but I can't think of anything to replace it.

thats an old pic

no im just not an urbancuck. other than getting laid there is no reason to live in a city

...

Who said anything about living in a city?

these builldings are all owned by Bank or real estate companies but even a single creative productive company like Apple or Tesla

that is ugly as fuck

The aussie is right. China is amazing and the future

CHINA NUMBER ONE CHINA STRONK CHINA FOR EVER

The East has needed to catch up to the West in most aspects, including cityscapes. Most Asian cities placed great emphasis in guaranteeing that their cities would represent modernization. In comparison, Western cultures were content with their cities and neglected to transform. Even if we wanted to, real estate and labor costs are too high to justify a huge change.

Well to be fair, that's just one side of the city. Those buildings were all built in the last 8 years. Melbourne council should be hanged for approving all those ugly buildings. Our city council has become corrupted by Jewdeveloper money

China is literally the future

China would be great if it wasn't for Chinese people

You must be able to see the irony of posting almost exclusively European-designed buildings ITT right?

Europe is still the leader in architecture, design, construction etc. but because we have historical cities to preserve here we have turned our high-tech, avant-garde design into one of our highest value-added commodities. In fact we don't just export design, we often export the construction and the materials themselves too.

>A country would be great if it wasn't for it's constituents
You might not know this Cletus, but a country is composed of it's people.

The city is the centre of all high culture. You must either live in an enriched area, where urban culture is synonymous with niggers or suburbia trash.

Everything has gotten stale in the west, it's the modern art nouveau

I should have clarified. China would be great if it weren't for the Chinese, who are not people. Sorry about that.

Do east Asians like cyberpunk aesthetics?

Architecture is not about planning a wonky new skyscraper for tourists to take selfies with, it's more about taking in account people and their needs, the enviroment and the place and the purpose it's build for.

Danes do this expectionally well and Copenhagen is one of the leading places for architecture in the world. Finland used to be, but we'r getting back there.

It's the opposite. Cyberpunk uses East Asian aesthetics.

Anyone else here deathly afraid of skyscrapers or tall things in general? Pics like this make me nauseous

new scandinavian architecture is complete utter shit

The east is expanding demographically while the west is receding. Simple stuff.

East Asia has Germany tier demographics

nice picture desu

>whilst in the east, its flourishing?
???

Oh shit, that right tower next to the one with the square hole, is that the one those russians climbed up?

modern architecture is garbage

Chink letters always look aesthetic

Norway's little modern art project.

Yeah that looks like shit

dumb zhang

>stale
