This article sounds like a psyop to revive the anti-SJW movement
Exactly, and it might have some nuclear takes, but the tall tower=penis thing is common knowledge
Skyscrapers: Phallic
Subway tunnels: Yonic
Public transit is feminist, pass it on
For balance, every building should have an entrance like a gothic cathedral
Unironically, yes in many places. And also why one thin and tall thing instead of wide or whatwver
why one thin and tall thing instead of wide or whatwver
wide be like [x x x x x]
tall be like [x^5] [x^5] [x^5] [x^5] [x^5] in the same amount of floorspace bc urban sprawl is a fuck
I think he's suggesting focusing on low and mid rise buildings. Obviously single family homes are space inefficient, but skyscrapers are really energy inefficient. Hell, something like a tenth of the floor space gets dedicated to making sure water and HVAC systems reach the top.
The WellTheresYourProblem dude says the sweet spot is like 5 stories high for a sum of reasons
It's generally agreed that five stories is about the limit before a broken elevator makes the building basically uninhabitable. That is the point in which you can expect people with disabilities and people living at the top to be the only people using the elevator most of the time.
obviously the solution is walkable 3d cities. every 5th floor have small streets connecting buildings, every 10 floors medium, every 20 floors "highways" but for feet. individual elevators for the 5 floor blocks too. Expand the neighborhood block into a cube
Also more than 5 stories and everyone living there is a stranger instead of a neighbor you can know and trust
I still can't believe people build fucking wooden buildings in 2021, what the fuck is this, unless you are in a fucking snowy mountain touristic place get the fuck out of here
Downtown has so many p*nises in close proximity, ejaculating together, like true bros.
like, i'm sure there are ways cities are designed that are inherently unsafe, probably especially to women, but come on.
Buildings shoule be underground in many places. Cooling air would be a lot cheaper if there weren't massive windows, and it opens more space for plants & things.
This especially true of very hot places, like Phoenix, AZ, which has one of the worst downtowns there is, because all of the concrete and glass makes it ridiculously hot. The only issue is the top soil is a hard layer.
no, nothing should be fucking built in Phoenix AZ. That whole city needs to be fucking razed to the ground
Why bother razing it when it's going to become completely uninhabitable and abandoned in the next decade anyway? Seems like too much work for something that's going to happen inevitably in a short time anyway
it fucking enrages me. i've visited that city several times over the past few years in the dead of the summer, and it's unreal to me that a city like that should even exist. what's worse is that they just have suburbs sprawling out the ground seemingly every few years. an already unsustainable city is just becoming even more stretched
It's the modern day Tower of Babel, a giant monument of man's arrogance. And like the Tower of Babel, it's only a matter of a few years before the gods strike that bitch down and puts humanity in its place
Meh, at least convert it to growing land. Like sure water needs to be shipped from the Colorado River, but you can grow food basically all year around.
Even in fucking London glass skyscrapers set things on fire with all the concentrated reflection
I know you're saying many and not all places, but I'm curious how viable that would be in places dependent on groundwater.
Time to cancel worms, snakes and intestines for triggering phallophobia.
Not exactly, the author probably has good points, the article about the book tho sounds like wanting to exagerate
Yeah there's plenty of sexism in how cities are designed, but "skyscrapers look like cocks" isn't one of them.
