      I'd say they get their inspiration from frustration at their own lack of artistic talent. Parody is an attempt at soiling the significance of Art that they're incompetent to produce or compete with. It makes them feel better. This movement didn't suddenly come out of nowhere. I think it was a gradual deconstruction of real art. Piccasso was probably the most instrumental at opening the door to degenerate art. He was a joke taken very seriously. Inverted meaning, inverted merit, those are the signs of degenerescence.

    The first example is poetic in its own way. Drawing design from raw natural form and order, then perfecting it, versus the latter, which is drawing order from nothing. One is certainly significantly more time-consuming in regards to its specificities, but to call the other mindless is also being disrespectful to those that build directly from nature. The only mindless part of it is that of its basis, which is only mindless in that it does not directly stem from the architect, but is utilized by them.

    This video is just a strawman comparing the very beginning stages of a designers process, to someone halfway done a drawing of something they are clearly looking at. Every designer find inspiration from different places. Yes, this dude crumpled up a piece of paper. But that is irrelevant.. what he is doing is putting down shapes and trying to find the forms. But this is something only an artist/designer will appreciate. Its apart of the process. I'd be curious to see if he came up with an end result. If so, this video cuts it out on purpose.
    Dont get me wrong! I prefer older architecture too. Ancient, Middle Ages, Renaissance, Victorian... I like the style. But this video is blatantly unfairly comparing two very different things. I would LOVE to see the designer behind the Notre Dame Cathedral's development drawings. I guantee you the sketches are loose. You may be surprised what they used as reference or inspiration for the forms. All the greatest architectural feats could not have been built from the builders imagination. Hive minds do not exist. There must be architects. The more complicated the architecture, the longer the development process.
    You dont have to like modern architecture. Very plain, clean surfaces, lots of glass, differently shaped rooftops... you don't have to like that. But there are people that do. And there are architects that have a passion for what they do. DO NOT mistake this first step in this one architects process as "modern architect dont care about what they produce.. its just garbage.". This man takes joy in the abstract forms. I guarantee he's designed some amazing feats of architecture in their own right. If you actually care about design, you'd understand that. But normies will try and invade these professions that they don't understand just so they can make a normie statement. Its popular to hate "modern" anything. Even when you literally have no stake in anything being discussed. You probably arent capable of hiring an architect anyway. You wouldn't choose a modern house if you could.. So why do you have to mock and purposely misrepresent the architect just because you dislike the modern style?

    A style of architecture being "more complex" or methodical doesn't make it better. And I can obviously respect clasical architecture but it had it's time and place. I don't think it's a very productive use of time and recources fantasizing and emulating the glory of rome and such in our modern, industrial society. So called "Modern architecture" is a construct of our society, clasical architecture in a lot of parts around the world is a representation of inequality, imperialism and class struggle or clasical arichitecture was just an impractical waste of money, as in the societ union.

People aren’t trying to recapture the glory of Rome, they just want to be surrounded by beauty. And they aren’t representative of any types of inequality, imperialism or struggle inherently, they’re just beautiful buildings. If we delve only into utility and purpose we forget that humans are not robots, nor are we emotionless. We desire the useless because it inspires and beings us happiness and identity. There is no point to music yet we all desire it. The argument isn’t ‘complexity’ vs ‘simplicity’, but ‘beauty vs mundanity’

You're also making a very vauge point here that buildings inspired by modernity or the socalled "block buildings" are ugly? Look up the bauhaus in germany or the previously mentioned city hall in oslo, genuinely amazing works of art and great representations of the very HUMAN ideas durring that time. Clasical architecture is inherently used as a show of might and power by empires, it was often time subconciously or conciously built as a strong message for the "inheritance of rome" for example - social classicism was a show of the wealth of the soviet union, The washington capitol building was built to show off the american empires growth and that very same "inheritance of rome" I mentioned. It was the architecture of kings and emporors, not the people. And also Clasical architecture can be very mundane - imagine seeing the same style, the same greek gods on the same fronton isn't very exiting, or the same corinthian pillars on every senate house, every museum, every state building. Most buildings don't have am artistic value, and they're built for purley functional housing, but this is a discussion about art and what deffines beuty. in my oppinion, the reason why clasical architecture has stayed so long is because of that "glory of rome" stich, and why it's glorified above most styles is because of the conservative and contemporary belliefs of clasical art in general.

      @@fandangofonteinskalita1333 The examples you point to are incredibly mundane though; boring, lifeless, and stilted. There is no character or art in the Bauhaus for example-it is a building and nothing more, coloured with the colourless accents of grey utilised to express the dullness of the shade. And furthermore, a building being a piece of art or expression is no requirement for whether that building is good, and in fact I’m more so opposed to architects who try use their architecture as any means of expression of their own ideas or selves; we are who and what we surround ourselves by, and we adapt to our environments accordingly, though the buildings you point out have no intrinsic meaning or value they inspire dullness and discontentment (if they inspire anything at all) and so will breed an environment equally as devoid-it should be the architects duty to try create environments that inspire a sense of identity, community and beauty. The architect should long to design timeless works, the types of work that will be respected for thousands of years to come. Your point on the ‘inheritance of Rome’ is incredibly narrow-though you can explain the great monuments and palaces to the emperors of Europe trying to capture a sense of glory and pride for their nations might, what then shall you say to explain the quaint beauty of the cottages and homes of England’s countryside? The traditional temples of Japan? Which are not to capture the might of an empire nor owe themselves to a glory of Rome-- but to instead to capture that feeling of home and beauty and pride, or show a loving commitment to a god, this same principle can be said for the cathedrals of Europe, which are not built to express an imperial force, but the works of communities for the things they worship and love. Not all beautiful architecture is of the same Romanesque fashion either, the majority of country’s most beautiful works are distinctly not so. Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Venice too, and they hardly flower themselves as ancient Rome. People love beautiful things, things that are distinct, made, and have a personality, the average person feels nothing for the glory of Rome which most likely enslaved their nations once, but instead share a passion for the beautiful and the inspiring. For the feeling of community and home. The sense of identity and place. These feelings which are an essential to our existence.

My philosophy is that I would rather a community built to be "Homely and genuinely comforting or even welcoming" rather than how you describe the Oslo City Hall-- which is littered with kitsch and tacky reliefs across it placed with no coherence to each other. Architecture serves a greater purpose than being art, it is that which surrounds us. A city is a home of people, not the canvas for a selfish architect to express himself.

However I don't want ugly glass and steel modern alternatives to replace them. I admire the work of Hausmann in renovating Paris.

      @@xas22 Hausmann is profoundly classical and traditional. I too do not wish for pastiche neither glass boxes, but beauty and creativity.

      @@Nostalg1a Hausmann is classical? It is not, it is not traditional either. For me classical architecture is the architecture of ancient Greco Roman temples and public buildings.
