Ideally we would be building structures that are both beautiful and practical. I don’t really vibe with Soviet brutalism aesthetically but I appreciate the utilitarianism.
I would also like to propose that anyone who has designed or purchased that fucking minimalist modern all white+marble shit goes straight to the gulag.
Brutalism with vertical garden intergration.
This. Brutalism with natural looking materials and including greenspaces would be ideal.
There's also computer/AI designed stuff which is pretty neat looking. It's like organic brutalism, if that makes sense. More natural shapes and arrangements, less blockyness. And it's super efficient in terms of walking and usage of space.
The cookie-cutter mcmansion shit absolutely has to go. just go on zillow, go to your area, and sort houses by price. You will see all that shitty wealth architecture. People trying to copy some idea of what is fancy but with cheap materials. Looks absolutely soulless.
Wealth is wasted on the American bourgeoisie. Awful taste
I am aware. I worked in Tech installation for a while (TV installation, home theater, wifi, etc.) and the majority of houses were McMansions and most of them are as gaudy on the inside as they are on the outside.
