Imagine living in a place like this

How lucky these people must be

@Athelstan_72 @AbeTheShinzo I'm atheist, god is just a fairytale for children

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

This is what progress looks like.

In fact, anything that doesn't look like this can't be progress

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

@cameron_st30756 Thank god

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

A fun option, but this building can easily be saved with a bit of concrete

[Mason Home Builder @bankertobuilder]

It’s a mistake to design apartments without thinking about who really matters: the tenants.

Not the residents — the anchor tenants that fuel our economy.

So our design team made the necessary upgrades.

A Waffle House integrated into the urban fabric of this community.

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

How can people not see that buildings like these are like spatial poetry?

Personally, I wouldn't have used so much color - otherwise, it's perfect

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

I once had a debate about this building.

The woman said it looked ugly and inhumane.

I said that this building's rectilinear massing strategy asserts its presence through an uncompromising volumetric purity that suppresses all spatial ambiguities.

Obviously, I won that debate

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

@AbeTheShinzo Evil, like beauty, is subjective.

We cannot force people to have good taste, but at least we can build daring architecture like this - and hopefully people will educate themselves

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

@jimmythej1 Some interesting suggestions. I had a student who suggested this and I gave him an A - this is the kind of thinking Architecture needs

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

@_Nick_The_Name_ What people want or not, and what they 'like' is irrelevant.

Architecture is an art that should not be tempered with by non-experts.

This Art stands high above everyday life. And architects are the only ones able to bring this gift to our cities

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

There is no good reason why our cities couldn't look like this.

We need more environments like these that offer a sublime, challenging & raw experience

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

@gigoposiwid It would improve many cities, yes

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

@otterbo54348271 @sfplanning Stunning design!

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

@a_man_in_red Interstellar is a fascist movie. I won't explain why

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

@Jamalishim88 Exactly and that's why they are morally bad.

Bad taste equals bad morals.

You simply cannot like Classical architecture and be a good person. It's impossible.

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

@helllyeahh11 Mentally drains? Maybe those who cannot handle a sublime experience.

The city isn't meant to be a pleasant, comfortable place.

Cities should be a mixture of chaotic life and sublime Architectural experiences, designed by masters, that make you uncomfortable

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

@FairIsleDreams Finally someone with an IQ above that of an average grape who understands it.

We're few. There's a lot of educating to be done

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

@Jamalishim88 They cannot handle what real taste is. They didn't go through 6 years of architecture school - they simply don't understand.

Why should we listen to them? Let experts do the work!

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

@cryptonoob666 Taste is subjective like beauty

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

Even though IQ is a social construct, but it has to be said:

I'm convinced that those who only consider superficial aesthetics of architecture have a IQ that is too low to grasp authentic architectural expression.

They will never learn if they haven't already.

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

@Cobylefko This made me sweat. Surely they demolished the one on the right and replaced it with the one on the left?

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

@FearGodBuild There is always room for improvement

[Antoine Mörck @RationalBuild]

When I first saw the Boston City Hall in person, I cried.

The sublimity of the design overwhelmed me. It was an aesthetic experience that bordered on ecstasy.

I wish more architects have the courage to build bold statements like these
