@Cobylefko i mean code does have a dictating effect in a lot of places to the extent that it requires two means of egress and distance both between fire stairs and from furthest point of unit to stair. rethinking our codes has to be part of this conversation for sure
@simonsarris architecture is not just massing. you need to read the building at all scales, coarse to fine to coarse, if you’re really interested in what’s going on. there is plenty of beauty if you know how to see it. gropius’ fagus factory for example helped reimagine how we use windows
@holo197510 @Y2K_mindset i think this is fair to the extent that i see it in jewish fundamentalists like far right israelis and the sovereign country of south williamsburg for example. but when this is applied to all modern jews, many of whom have assimilated to secular society, i think it applies less
@MatheusPagani77@DeveloperHarris hilariously out of scale buildings in the first pic, and neither of these are even new design languages just recycled neoclassical
@JacobAShell new york can handle it imo, it’ll just turn into the heritage buildings needing to be experienced up closer, which isn’t completely a bad thing since they’re already good at breaking down scale
@cityaestheticss i think the landscape around it is not helping it at all. situated in the middle of a similarly scaled neighborhood, i doubt it gets as much hate. but as is, it’s hard to interpret it as anything but alien to its environment
@Camille_Yen we need to do the real work of understanding the antagonisms that led to two trump presidencies. dismissing them as things that were just thrust into reality by dumb fucks is extremely lazy and only kicks the can down the road.
