Another hot take on character vs function.

“This is obviously the fault of late stage capitalism” O yea communist countries were known for their beautiful architecture

Sigh. More beauty pls

A symptom of Godlessness not late stage capitalism.

I tweeted a few month ago that when my money is right I'm getting a lot of bespoke things. Like handmade shoes, bags, furniture, art etc.

real craftsmanship requires real money. That house takes > 3x the labor of the standard cheap box house and >2x materials. If you think there's a housing crisis now, wait until this plan rolls forward. Character is nice, but nobody can afford it in the technological society.

not a whiff of knowledge about the history of design in that take.

Its already been done before, its hard to come up with original ideas.

The fancy buildings have always been funded by wealth. Wood, stone, brick houses were the cheapest way for regular people to build. Now, it’s vinyl siding, laminate, drywall, PEX. We’re living in the ruins of wealth for the most part.
