@encorebubble Yes, read Marshal McLuhan's "Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man".

"With the arrival of electric technology, man extended, or set outside himself, a live model of the central nervous system itself."

2.c. A separate business, the building contractor is in charge of the method and mode of construction.

2.d. They are incentivized to build cheap and fast.

I could keep going, but I'll pause here for a breather.

This form of architecture is known as neoclassicism.
The reason why we don't see buildings like this anymore are multifaceted. I will cover two of them here:

1. Globalization
2. Fragmentation

1.a. Architecture is an internationally recognized profession and commodity.

@VinnieVindico @HKBelvedere 4/5

2.a. The current model for most types of construction is fragmented and disjointed into opposing 'teams'.

2.b. The architect typically only designs the building, and has no to little say in the method of construction.

@VinnieVindico @HKBelvedere 3/5

1.c. All this leads to a commoditization of architecture. Furthermore, architecture is capital intensive. So it lends itself to low risk-tolerance when attempting new things (read: outside the standards).

@VinnieVindico @HKBelvedere 2/5

1.a. This leads to creating a 'correct' architectural standard; seen in materials, construction methods, education, etc.

1.b. This standardization leads to a sameness experienced in cities; most apparent in the 'New World'.

@rdnxyz Where are the architects?

We'd never take one reconstructed computer generated image to be a realistic representation of a Ziggurat. Yet when we see bad colors on an ancient statue we take it at face value.

@mwilcox In 3d modeling, when the 'faces' of an object are pointing inside instead of outside, they are said to have 'inverted normals'.
