brutalism hatred over. let's get some hatred going for the intarnational styles. babygirl you didn't have to make everything into a panel.

[puppygirllaika]

"We have developed the technology to create hanging facades, where buildings can be made using interior steel frames with panels hanging off the sides, instead of those gross old buildings where their sturdy exteriors walls supported the structure. This has allowed us to achieve the ultimate dream of architecture, the most beautiful representation of form and function we can possibly imagine: Big Box. All buildings for the next 50 years will now be Big Box. Everyone loves Big Box."

[puppygirllaika]

Behold, architecture.

[charlizetheronsbush-official]

is this minoru yamasaki’s fault

[puppygirllaika]

i would strongly disagree with that. Yes, he designed one of the most famous building ever in the international style, the world trade center, but that wasn't until well into the development and adoption of the style across the architectural world. If anything, the main motif of his career is his arches, and he used them liberally at a time when the arch was well fallen out of favor specifically because of modernist styles like the international style that were obsessed with the advantages of the kind of squared off shapes that could be achieved with steel beams, with the architectural world moving away from more traditional arches. He did a lot of really cool and interesting things with them. it's why the bottom of the WTC looked like that. The man loved an arch.

[forgettableandtired]

I understand there were a number of criticisms, for one it was in international style.

i love sibling estrangement as horror. Only one person in the entire world has been through what youve been through and they deny it . Awesome

[dragongirlsweetie]

it's actually so crazy how much the simpsons would fucking suck if it didn't have any of the simpsons characters. just a bunch of shots of empty houses and streets for half an hour while nothing happens. that would be so badddd lol

[auroroboros1]

yeah that tends to happen when you remove characters from media. without characters its all just background. i guess movies set in scenic locations would still land as kinda nature docs but even then

[dragongirlsweetie]

it only happens with the simpsons

[auroroboros1]

this same criticism could be applied to nearly any media ever.

[dragongirlsweetie]

it's just the simpsons. are you a troll?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Dragon's right, if you remove all the Simpsons characters from Death Note it hardly changes anything

After 10 years of unsucessful lab experiments, scientists have reportedly synthesised the first ever patience to actually be rewarded.

[dingoskidneys]

[freakoutgirl]

"all you ever do is complain" that's not true. I also resent.
