Cities once shaped by craftsmanship..

Its about maximum profits/efficiency. In return everything is soulless.

the irony of using fake ai slop garbage to make this point

would you like to pay full price for modern craftsman to make you a bespoke door or would you like to continue complaining?

@BiancoDavinci meanwhile the average worker in this paradise lived like this:

You can still feel the soul of old craftsmanship in historic cities.

Don’t make me tap the sign again…

Same goes for cars. Most cars from the '40s-'60s had style. Most cars since then, meh.

Soul destroying . . Intentionally.

Thanks for the honesty about this one Lots of "historical" accounts like to pretend the old cities were pristine, when they were often covered in advertising clutter The only change here are the aesthetic styles

you confuse a deliberate brutalization of aesthetics with lack of aesthetics. there was never non-artistic style in the modern industrialization period. the one on the right is artistic as well, just in a very wrong and misantrophic way.

@JenThePadawan To be fair, both generations had starving artists.

It's because today everything is shaped by capitalism. What matter most to companies is to maximize revenue, reduce to a minimum expenditures and operational/maintenance expenses.

Quieren un paraíso construido por artesanos, a cambio de pagarles una miseria y burlándose de ellos

Modern design has lost its soul

Fast, cheap, and corny

Worse now at least for architectural elements

There is no lack of craftsmanship. The ugliness around us IS by design. Beautiful things bring smile and make people happy and happy people create happy societies. Look at our society, does it look happy?

Oh for a renaissance 💟

The cult of the ugly has definitely taken over the world.

@SteinyTweet There is beauty in modern design. Just not enough..

We actually downgraded ourselves. And it can worse.

We used to be a society

Es todo IA eso, ¿commercialian.are? No existe eso

@SJohnston60 I hate the Soviet boring drab we are building today. Also huge NO for IKEA…just sterile and cheap.

increased sales of antidepressants

Back when the money still benefited the population and not a select few billionaires.

the right ones look better

The Communists really did do a whopper of an infiltration on Europe.

@JohnCleese Beautify your world and you beautify the world of everyone around you.

I am amazed that the housing projects had to be torn down only half a century of them being up. yet, many buildings have stood on this earth since the Medeival times. Amazing.

It's because it's cheaper... in every room possible I put thasos marble. It's only 15 times more expensive than ceramic 😂 then you proceed to go through life forgetting it's even there because you get used to it . I think the problem is stopping to see where the beauty lies
