I highly recommend this video about modern architecture. Not only does it voice my frustrations about the misuse of the word “modern” to describe contemporary architecture, it also addresses popular criticism towards the modernist movement by offering an unpretentious rebuttal and explanation of modern vs ornamental design. Please give modern design a chance, please!!

does anyone else ever think about how modern architecture and interior design is a great visual indicator of a net loss of individuality and creativity in society as a whole, with startlingly sterile environments becoming indicators of wealth and status, rather than the creative freedom to make one’s own unique environment a reality. and do you ever think about how it all ties back to how increasingly digital everything is in our world now?
^ shared this elsewhere previously but I feel those on this app will have some interesting ideas and insights on the topic…

I know I do this to myself, but sometimes I think about it and my appetite goes away. My ability to sleep becomes null. This is a students' residence for a prestigious university in Bogotá. It's very ugly. It's incoherent with the rest of architecture in the city. These are two clowns in the middle of everywhere. The Twin Towers would laugh at this shit 😔. Share with me the ugly pieces of architecture you've seen if you'd like. I'm curious and masochist.
