>Have automatic router and carving cnc machines, automatic laser stone carving machines, ability to mass produce beautiful ornamentation cheaper than ever.>Literally all modern architecture and urban design is ugly and bland as fuck despite it technically being easier and cheaper than ever to make everything beautiful and ornate.Why does modern society choose to be ugly?
purchases are done as investment for the purpose of reselling. ornamentation makes it harder to resell. This is why house flippers will go into beautiful old ornate houses and strip them for grey, white, silver ikea stuff.
>>18058341I just watched a video about design trends and one thing really bothered mewhy is it that ppl follow trends in the first place?we live in an era of individualist capitalism why does every normalnigger follow the popular design?its so frustrating
>>18058370Noone is free from influence. Our tastes are are made up from what we see around us and the conclusions we draw from them. Some people have less to draw on and instead jump to what is easiest in reach (trends) as what is aesthetically appealing.
>>18058341Yeah, I saw that Twitter thread as well.
capitalist ethos of minimizing costs
>>18058341see >>18058586also limitations breed creativity
>>18058341I think the sruff you posted is ugly. Ornamentation is just noise. Humans are so narcisssistic and tasteless.
>>18058341EFFICIENCY
>>18058341That looks fucking garish, like something from a oldhammer posterNo one is stoping you from building neo-historical stuff, theres tons of people still specialised for all the stuccos and plaster fidly bits and concrete baroque molds, and then theres places like macedonia where the ruling party dresses up old modernist buildings in neoclassical plastic, you want to invest in something that looks like its 1848 go ahead good luck to you, maybe itl even look good, since its mass produced you could probably have fun with it in all sorts of ways, make it postmodern as fuck, a modern highrise all done in concrete baroque would probably look like something out of a coked up acid trip, good for you if you pull it off
>>18058341see, beautifull isnt it
>>18058664such a house, gods would wish they lived in it
>>18058667beautifull
>>18058668look at what they took from us
>>18058674its just too much...
>>18058675the pure extasy of massproduced form....
>>18058677...gaze at the splendor of pure logos uttering itself before you...
>>18058682you could probably even sell it as cost efficient since it fills up the same volume of space but with less mass than a standard concrete slab or whatever you figure it out
>>18058694see, theres so much of the crap you could probably just assemble a entire building out of it like leggos, and most of these firms will do custom molds if the numbers are right
>>18058695theres no end to possible variations, throw enough money at it it becomes a game
>>18058703fuck you can even get your own molds, or make them, theres plastic ones, silicone, rubber, enough to get you going, this shit is wild man
>>18058729like you could make a app that lets he customer make his own construction and then a AI punches it trough some autocad emulator and the thing can just be mailed in and assembled on site like a ikea product
>>18058738this shit could actually work man, take that you cucked modernist asswipes
>>18058370You can only decorate with what's being sold. Most people don't create thier own decoration. Look at a bunch of the big podcasters sets. They look quite modern and dystopian. I long for the coziness of pre 20th century design standards.
>>18058743it never ends, this must be how god feels...
>>18058746theres loads of people that make custom stuff it just costs extra, anyone can make a mold, any firm that makes stuff out of stone or concrete does that stuff routinely, you make a positive out of clay then you turn it into a negative out of silicone or rubber then you just mix and pour, and pour and pour... theorethicaly you can make anything
>>18058746i mean i worked at a place that made that stuff, we did neoclassical elements for facades a lot, repairs and stuff, that was way back in 2015, arround 2020 there was a erthquake all the old town got hit, they must of felt like its raining money, too bad i had another jobAll this illustrates clearly what OP is asking, you want neoclassical, great, go ahead do it see how far you getOne way would be to sell it as 'conceptual art' then you can get away with anything, endless posibilities, no one will object cause it can be interpreted in so many ways they cant know if theyre being stupid for saying no
>>18058341>generational slaves specialized in one field = le beautiful stuff>expecting the same outcome from wagies
>>18058809You can 3d print the stuff today, in intrinsic detail, more accurate than any old craftsman could by hand, all of it was allways mass produced, you just dont notice now cause we dont know which tricks they used
Because, it's only "beautiful" because of the meaning behind it. The people who built it, the time, the effort, the idea, the inspiration, the mystery, the history, etc etc. The Parthenon copy in Alabama sucks.The real Parthenon is amazing, because it's symbolic and emblematic of a long gone age, era, and civilization that is metaphorically still standing thousands of years later.
>>18058839Of course, even the concept of computers far outweighs anything humanity has ever created. 3D video games? Entire digital universe contained inside chip? And guess what? People created them out of their own will.
Many people grew up with plain, utilitarian buildings and see them as normal.
>>18058370bio magnetic fields unification
>>18058664Sad!
>>18058858The garden of Eden was in Missouri just outside the Ozarks. The Peloponnesian War happened in Appalachia mostly on the rivers there wake up sheeple
>>18058858It's in Tennessee and it's cool, fuck you.
