   That is a really interesting idea.

   Was there ever a time when people were sane?

     Let's bring back Art Deco. America used to build with style!

     @ILoveAmericaNews specify full scale, or you will get a 3d printed 1/16 scale model.👍

     @ILoveAmericaNews In Japan, they finished Kyoto rail station in 2002. It has multiple levels for subways, light-rail, and high-speed shinkansen. Giant video displays on the walls, multiple floors of high-end shopping and restaurants. An upper-level outdoor stage and amphitheater for orchestra concerts, and a roof-top garden. It's possible to build nice things if you choose to do so.

     Art Deco was the beginning of the end. It was the embodiment of excess.

     Bring back the Greek Revivals.

     I love art deco.

     This is a street lamp in the historic district of Lima, Peru that I photographed a few months ago. #PhotosbyRobertR

     There are many beautiful styles of architecture. I'm sick of sterile concrete and glass everywhere I look.

     I just was architecture that inspires the soul again. I don't particularly care the form that takes.

     Those things don't have to conflict.

     @ILoveAmericaNews @PNS if beauty (in construction) was as profitable as skipping that step, we would have incredibly beautiful architecture around us (it adds more value at no cost).

     proof is in the pudding fren.

     I don't think that's true. I think the ugliness is intentional.

     Look at what happened to art over the same time period. The uglification of art had nothing to do with cost.

     (uglification is now a word.)

     @ILoveAmericaNews @PNS nah, uglification (i like the word) is a result of complacency and laziness. if one can get more out of less effort, its more profitable. this will result in the one putting in the least effort with the same profit succeeding.

     i agree, the ugliness is intentional as it requires less effort. also, with beautiful art, there's a point of diminishing returns. to come up with a new concept vs just copy someone else increasing requires add'l effort. again, shift to efficiency
