Why don't nonamericans like American architecture? Some of it is really cool.
>>222435279I dig art deco, and some of your brutalist stuff is done well... but a lot of it, especially government and university buildings, is just pretentious crap with a markup.

>>222435353Which is to say that the Germans did you dirty again by shipping over Bauhaus. I haven't seen a real hard backlash to it like the West Coast Hop Bombs did to your German-based industrial lager monoculture - I'm sure it will be interesting when it happens, and I hope it sticks... mainly so that we can do what we do best and rip it off a decade later.
I was planning on making a comparison of tallest building in year XYZ and then an image of the most well known painting produced in the same year, see how art and architecture evolve on the same timeline, but it gets complicated if I have to take country of origin into account.The Empire State Building opened in 1931, and the most famous painting of that year was Dali's melting clocks, but I the American and Spanish zeitgeist of that era were way too different so I have to dig into American art specifically.
