What caused this change in architecture over the past 200 years?

Lazyiness in the name of ((efficiency)), praised because you can get more done in less time and by paying less. IOW, greed.
>>543374774certain people valued profit above all else and using some manpower to make things pretty was discarded in favor of chasing more and more currency.you can't name these people though it's not allowed. as you can see by the first reply, you can't even ask a question like this without being accused of bigotry.
Steel changed the world.

Quicker, cheaper, easily replaced.
both are ugly structures. I don't like tall buildings.
>>543374774Better materials, mostly
>>543375135>I don't like tall buildings.This more your style?
>>543374774It's cheaper and simpler to build the glass and concrete facade than use stones. And our billionaires seem to have questionable taste so they don't fund cool stuff. These glass buildings look pretty cool at night sometimes though, esepcially when there's a whole bunch of them together.

>>543374774Not all modern buildings are bad. Honestly I like the simple functionality of a rectangular building covered in glass panels. Ugly modern buildings are the ones which add styling, adding grotesque budges and other deformities and shun the right angle.
>>543374774efficient propaganda based brainwashing and wageslavery no need for religion, architecture, culture, etc. when the goyim have no choice but to wageslave and consoom your productso why waste time and resources on that fancy stuff if it's useless?
It's the expression of modernistic philosphy.Humans are nothing but blobs of atoms without a soul. The only purpose of sapient life is to be a unit of production and consumption. Efficiency is the only valuable principle. Beauty is irrelevant.

Labour in the past was 'slaves'. Labour now is the most expensive item in construction and the one that has the most variability.
>>543374774You are literally free to finance cute buildings if you want
Modern plumbingElectrical outletsAir conditioningCentral heatingFiber optics and copper communications cablingThe modern building is more than a building; it's a machine to provide services and maintain a comfortable environment. Mere decorations and ornament have been set aside to make this affordable.
buildings to the left were deemed worthy of saving and survived. this gives you the illusion that all old buildings looked like that.
>because it's cheaperthat's greatly exaggerated and only one of many factorsthing is a lot of architects think their soulless glass rectangles and modern art monstrosities actually look good. why? because normies are driven by consensus and they're taught in school that this ugliness is what everyone thinks is great. they see the ugly builds everywhere irl. and they copy. normies, to be normal, just do whatever they think everyone else is doing. this is what made the ugly buildings psyop so easy, makes all psyops easy. and the purpose of brainwashing them to make everything ugly is simple, its the same reason office buildings are designed to be gray and drab, to keep the populace low energy and compliant so they keep their heads down, do their jobs, then go to bed. you don't want them all hopped up on inspiring beauty and getting energetic and passionate about the world around them, that could lead to revolution against things going to shit. so its important everything already looks like shit, who is going to defend that. the architecture has become yet another subtle tool of scientifically optimized psychological mass depression.

Built by different civilizations, the Tartaria theory is true:The one on the left was built by a civilization that seeked glory and awe.The one on the right was built by a civilization that values profit and speed.
>>543375860Sounds like you are mad society likes things you don't like

>>543374774Architects used to be artisans, now they're cost analyst, roles changing across personality types
>>543374774The answer to all of your questions is jews.The Jewish Pioneers: Prominent Jewish modernist architects shaped the movement heavily in the mid-20th century.Marcel Breuer: A Hungarian-Jewish Bauhaus alumnus who designed iconic massive concrete structures like the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.Ernő Goldfinger: A Hungarian-born Jewish architect who designed striking residential brutalist towers like Trellick Tower in London.Louis Kahn: An Estonian-born Jewish-American architect famous for monumental concrete masterpieces like the Salk Institute.
>>543375970sounds like you don't actually have anything to say other than smug little quips where you reduce what other people say into dumb little strawmen.
>>543376101Why are you falling for obvious bait. The flag, the post:>>543375741
>>543376185is it really so obvious when so many people talk that way and think that way?
>>543375718> Labour in the past was 'slaves'.That's bullshit. What iconic european building was built by slaves?> Labour now is the most expensive item in constructionAlways has been.
>>543376101I mean I'm right tho, the 'beauty' of old buildings isn't objective, people happen to like big glass boxes otherwise they wouldn't be built!
>>543376558yes that's very annoying bait, nicely done
>>543376024That guy staring by the window in his multi-million office room, comfy as fuck.
>>543376558Lol, no.Those are built for corporations or government agencies, decided by a cost analysis.People buy houses that look like houses and many are willing to pay a premium for conventional beauty.
>>543376905>People buy houses that look like houses and many are willing to pay a premium for conventional beauty.$65 million USD. They're all like this in the Hollywood Hills.

>>543374774>What caused this change in architecture over the past 200 years?Using steal and iron frames beginning in the late 1800's, rather than masonry.Allowed people to build bigger and taller buildings in a fraction of the time.Within 50 years, people noticed the walls are no longer the load-bearing part of the structure, so they could use glass instead of concrete. But for a long time, it looked shitty. As glass production improved in the late 1900's, they began to use full glass exteriors, only using concrete exteriors stylistically.
>>543376797Not an argument, I accept your capitulation.>>543376905So what's the problem? If people wanted beautiful buildings they would invest in companies who would build these beautiful buildings! People prefer to spend their money on other things, thus proving that people don't want those buildings
>>543374844checked, but unironically
>>543378595>As glass production improved in the late 1900's, they began to use full glass exteriorsThe fully flat glass panes that are ubiquitous today became available with the float-glass process during the 1960s. Before, flat glass was far more expensive and on top not really flat at all with wobbly reflections.
>>543374844FPBP
>>543374844Unironically yes. In the leadup to WW2, many jew architects and designers who were trying to erase the heritage and grandeur of Europe had to flee to the US. Where they were given jobs teaching at top-tier universities so they could poison the minds of generations of American architects. This shift from art deco and truly beautiful structures to corporate brutalist utilitarian soul crushing buildings was quite intentional and very abrupt. It started almost immediately after WW2 ended.
>>543374774Stronger, less expensive building materials, insurance risk, lawyers and cheap developers who hire gifting contractors, all of whom work together to blame someone else.
>>543374774American exceptionalism.
>>543383456behold the pinnacle of 21st century architecture. oh how far we've come. doesn't it just fill you with a sense of pride in western civilization, a sense of hope for the future, that everywhere you go you see such works of beauty and wonder. it really feeds the soul.
