I firmly believe that all nationalism is pointless if we don't return to architectural tradition.
That's not to say I hate all modernism, I htink it has its place, but in America we really wrecked our identity with soulless strip malls and suburban sprawl.

Did america ever have an identity?

but that's your identity

ARCHITECTURE IS ALWAYS GLOBALISM
ARCHITECTS COPIED OTHER STYLES CONSTANTLY... WHY DO WE HAVE THESE NEO CLASSICAL/RENAISSANCE BUILDINGS EVERYWHERE IN EUROPE... NOT BECAUSE MUH TRADITION...
Angel Walker
That's true, but on the other hand they're beautiful, while the glass cubes are not.
Josiah Roberts
No, OP is crazy
Idaho is nothing like you though, personally we’re better than the rest of USA and Europe, I don’t make the rules but we simply are
Luis Fisher
Well that's just like your opinion.
Connor Russell
Jose Nelson
I think your opinion is baseless
Gabriel King
Nobody is touching the Big Ben or Reichstag you fucking retard. That building wasn't MUH TRADISHIONALIST to begin with and besides, it looks a lot fucking cooler now.
Go to Paris, the juxtaposition of la defence with the inner city is a beautiful one. If you go 100% 'tradishanalism' you'll get beautiful but boring cities like Venice.
Leo Sullivan
>beauty is subjective
No it isn't, that's why almost everyone on earth agrees that Saint Peter is more beautiful than a dogshit.
Eli Wright
Bro Hitler skydaddy told him so
you have to believe
Isaac Howard
It works because La Défense has been settled outside the city. The Tour Montparnasse however.
>If you go 100% 'tradishanalism' you'll get beautiful but boring cities like Venice.
There's no city less boring than Venice.
Elijah Morgan
>we really wrecked our identity
??? どゆこと?
Bentley Russell
i hate people who harp on endlessly about 'traditionalism'
Liam Phillips
this IT WAS THE COMMON EUROPEAN SOUL THAT LEAD THE INNOCENT ARCHITECTS

Samuel Garcia
For me, it's Futurism
Brutalism comes close second
Joshua Russell
Don't hate me for it, but I think the Tour Montparnasse has a very cool capitalist modernist edge to it in the midst of all the regular buildings. It isn't that much of an eyesore. I think it looks pretty cool. De Eiffel Tower is the same principle. Big fuck off black rod (Freud would like to have a talk with you) in the middle of the city as a hallmark to modernity. Modernism + Traditionalism is a strangely pleasing aesthetic.
Never been to Venice, saw it in an anime kek, but if I had to choose between never leaving Paris or never leaving Venice, i'd probably pick Paris and not out of convenience.
(besides, if we're really being honest, the large apartments in Paris totally block any view so it's not like any highrise really has an impact)

I bet all of the above pictures, except hungaries maybe would make really bad office space.
in contrast to the bottom pictures..
Lucas Harris
Most architecture has some good quality to it (even the crime on Skopje is a very nice tacky aesthetic, which is good in its own right) except Zara Hadid.
Fuck her architecture, the gendered Jew.
Nicholas Sanchez
If I want to enjoy a nice cup of coffee, i'm picking the upper one. If I want to bike around town and go for a swim, i'm picking the lower one.
Different cities attract different people.
Adrian Powell
The lower buildings give off an air of authority and universality which coincides with avant-gardism while the upper pictures are kitschy if used for anything but common affairs, tourism or local industry.
I wonder what you think modern palaces should look like, palaces being governmental buildings.
Should they be spilling with marble like some hyperactive 15 year old discovering Roman history for the first time or should they be conservative, soothing yet imposing? If you want that, you need the bottom four.
Thomas Sanchez
hadid's port authority is cool as shit
you also have literally zero idea what the word modernism means so please go kill yourself
Aiden Phillips
It's just a gratuitous desacration of Paris. It bears no sense at all, it's just an ugly cube towering Paris. Talking about modernism has no sense, that's the modernity we have but i could have been different, it could have been something else than glass cubes and bland open spaces. It could have been art deco, art nouveau. Chrysler building for example. But apparently architects went mad once they learned to do basic geometric form.
Here is Villa Majorelle interior, Nancy.
Kevin Jenkins
hadid made a lot of trash too
stuff that's very deliberate instead of authentic projects
Brody Price
yuck, ugly
also
>cube bad
why?
Tyler Flores
Because it's bland, heartless, inhuman, unnatural, soulless, and not fit for men but for bugs.
Adam Sanders
You could also call it strong (four corners), monolithic, material (temporal), futuristic, authoritative, imposing and fit for knights.
It's like a modern keep or citadel.
It's like a space craft.
It's like a rock or obelisk.
It's like an asteroid.
Reminds me of 2001 Space Odyssey.
Nicholas Butler
Modern architects defend their cubes like lawyers defend serial murderers, but they eye doesn't lie.
Sebastian Nguyen
I'm telling you I didn't find it that offensive.
Helped as a point of reference. Stood out.
Hunter Turner
No you autist, your american identity are strip malls and suburbia, that is literally a part of your culture.
