>USA gave up its stylish aesthetic to compete with godless commies building concrete boxes
>the meme never ended
God, why? When do we get back to making things that are beautiful? Are we competing with Chinks building glass boxes now?
it is pretty sad. what's the name for that style? post more. also post modernism is cancer
either you have never seen "godless commies building concrete buildings" or you hate "chinks"
probably both

Art Deco
The traditional 'commieblock' is actually a reaction to the post-modernist fashions of the capitalist world. Before the war, the soviet block build mostly traditional and modernist style architecture.

I feel you.
the point is to make people feel crushing despair, the elites got together and realized beauty and inspiration were a threat to their control, and braindead groupthink did the rest

Traffic means progress so you obviously want it in 300 meters height right beside your office.

I thought OP was talking about brutalism
why are german posters so lame?
Why? Suburbanism.
Due to cheap oil, it was cheaper to go horizontal instead of vertical. After all, employers don't have to pay for commute time, fuel or the pollution. Employees get ticky tacky boxes in the middle of nowhere, and they're told they're lucky and living the american dream.

All I see is a bunch of little metal boxes exchanged for a few big ones.
If you try to build anything that looks really good these days, the other architects will just say you are being "fake" or you are building a "toy town".
To be respected as a serious architect, you have to build shit buildings that few people like. (The fact that hardly anyone likes your buildings means that your buildings have a high-brow beauty that only geniuses like you and your architect friends can recognise).
>>60691792
I disagree.
Fossil fuel made it easier to build up.
They could build a few stories high hundreds of years ago.
Only fossil fuels enabled mass construction of giant blabla shitty soulless buildings.
Suburbia arose due to the car and the absolutely disgusting influence of people like Le Corbusier.
>>60686306
That is terrible

Imagine working at the office next to the train line and feeling it pass every fucking time, every day at a distance of less than 2 meters from your chair.

Imagine if a terrorist attack like 9/11 happened in one of these illustrations, with all the sidewalks and roads in the air going from building to building

>>60697694
Honestly, the arcology shape looks boring as fuck, I'll take suburbia or megalopoly over it any day.
>>60682694
Art Deco, the furniture was fantastic. Pisses me off immensely. It would have solidified an 'American Culture'. Having our own unique architecture and interior design.
FUCK

We hit the limitation of bricks. I much prefer the art deco answer of the Chrysler building.
