One would say you would be more capable of recognizing things designed to look solid and functional outside but that crumble under the tiniest bit of stress, as someone from an ex-communist country I mean.
Hell, I would even say it was the biggest common denominator between the soviets and the americans. That, and being ruled to the core by a bunch of psychopatic jews.

Yes, it was supposed to merely be a blueprint for urbanism, showing that beautiful, proper architecture isn't exactly expensive or time-consuming to build.
however, modernism happened.

There's still lots of cool buildings in the US but americans are fadfags and have covered the old walls with shallow facades over many decades
At least the ones that aren't surrounded by niggers and hobos, for example the San Francisco civic center is amazing but nobody checks it out because there's literal thousands of deadly pothead communist gangster franken niggersteins surrounding the entry points

OK but muh crystal palace was real and also got rekt pretty quickly. There's absolutely a progression of taking out the nicest architecture and replacing it with shit so that we can all pretend we couldn't really build nice things.

Some of the things cannot be done legally, for politically correct reasons or without going broke but i don't think anyone seriously thinks we cannot do them aside from the perfect stonework in ancient places.

It was considered a modernist aberration by some at the time (among those famously Dostoevsky). Now it's objectively beautiful compared to shit like picrel (which won several architectural prizes in Norway)

The problem is that beautiful things are just not done at all now. And then the psychology of everyone who has to look at all the monstrosities instead can only be negatively affected.

>>546264423
Exactly. The buildings winning prizes are abhorrent. And if Crystal Palace was thought to be equally bad back then, imagine how many more truly beautiful buildings there were that have been lost, that we have no pictures of.

>The problem is that beautiful things are just not done at all now
It's mostly architecture firms being led by people who were jew-trained, colleges explicitly saying you don't need to be a designer or hold the firmitas-venustas-utilitas oath, lack of resources and overall scrubs getting the jobs due to rampant nepotism.
But there's some good stuff out there, just never publicized widely because jews want everything to look ugly, it's an actual thing, it's called deconstructivism (aka destructivism) and it's been a thing since the late 80s. Its goal was to subvert architecture and make all aesthetic advancements to stop.

they do it on purpose
they call horrible and uninspired bullshit "art", and real art "boring and old fashioned"
they give prizes to menial and tryhard "shocker" bullshit art done by jewish or jewish-aligned pretend artists, and leave the real masters that hone their craft and produce real masterpieces out of the spotlight

the first thing the (((allies))) did after nazi germany invasion was to systematically destroy all pieces of nazi-produced art they could find. About 5000 full length movies have been completely lost to that, and countless paintings and statues.

Art sets the bar for beauty, and real, natural, organic beauty is moralizing and inspiring. When you corrupt art to such a level that literal garbage is promoted as a century masterpiece, you lose more than the masterpiece it could have been in its place - you lose the ability to recognize beauty itself. You lose the moralization effect and the civilization long term pride that you get by looking at a beautiful building, a beautiful painting, a beautiful sculpture. Where you think "this is what we have done, this is the shape of our civilization".

Now everything is soulless, ugly, and uninspiring. Everything screams "you're a cog in a machine, you're replaceable, nothing is unique, nothing can stand out". It tells you "you don't know what is good. We teach you. We decide that for you. Your judgement is wrong, and unnecessary". When a literal pissoir is hailed as a masterpiece of art, that reduces the value of art itself - Michelangel's David is now in the same category as a literal piece of mass produced white porcelain.

Again, this is on purpose. It kills any spirit before it can rise to something great. It nips real revolution in the bud.

Not paper mache, plaster. The same shit that was used for ornamental ceilings and mouldings in houses and palaces for well over a century. This was simply a different time where pay was low and laborer jobs were a dime a dozen. As such you had a lot of people with high levels of practical skill and if you skimmed the best few percent from each city you could put together a massive team of extremely competent workers who we'd probably consider artists by modern standards to put something like this together faster than you might imagine. Afterall it's the planning and engineering and permitting stages that usually hold up projects. If you have thousands of borderline masters working under hand picked state sanctioned structural engineers and architects you can get a lot of really high quality shit done really fast.

the west was doing world fairs and stuff because they were still industrializing. they were growing and had the attitude of wanting to show off. but since we basically "finished" industrializing and transitioned to service economies this impulse went away. today you notice that places like china or the middle east now like to have flashy buildings and even china has done world fairs in the 21st century because they are in a similar place where they are trying to improve and show off.

Guess the ethno-religious identity of the guy, Charles Luckman, who knocked that down to build the NY Knicks stadium in its place? Take a wild guess, surely no one will be able to guess.
