I am always astonished that we abandoned beauty and proportion for the horrendous mess that is modern architecture. I cannot describe how much I resent that I live in a time when none of the dominant cultural products of my society (architecture, music, TV, theater, literature, etc.) possess virtue even approaching that of yesteryear. The past 100 years (more or less depending on the medium) have seen constant deconstruction to the point of destruction of everything that makes each pursuit worth engaging in. The only beauty left is outside the mainstream.
Its funny how in this channel the comments are "people hating modern architecture" instead of anything to do with the video. Guys, calm down, its not modern architecture, its laws and their economic consequences. Just check the works by Carlo Scarpa, Sigurd Lewerentz, Victor Lopez Cotelo, Ted'a Arquitectes, the Malaparte House, Micheluccis Santa Maria Novella station, the lighthouse of Punta Nariga... there are lots of quality modern architecture. Architecture that learns from and continues with historical architecture, it's materiality, it's intensity, it's humanity. This is being built and taught in architecture schools. Maybe not currently in the U.S. I don't know.

There's lots of shit historical architecture too, and a lot more of it existed but is not longer around
I checked your examples. Theyre all ugly
This was fascinating!!!!!
Would you be able to recognize a machine if you were standing in front or even in it?
Any idea how construction workers could have possibly built any of this?
aliens undoubtly
Construction equipment? Building Materials? Architectural Plans? A General Sense Of What They're Doing?
@@thequietstag4366 and we can't even come close now
The varying usage of materials other than glass, steel, and concrete? Some more inspired architects?

The only thing uglier and worse than modern architecture is modern “urban planning”.
