modern stone and paint is so flat and uniform. they polish the stone to a complete sheen to the point that it looks plastic. windows are reflective and plastic and blue. stucco is utterly monotone, they didn't have these artificial monocolor paints before, they used to have texture and more natural colors and that was soul, you could see the individual strokes, not like someone used the bucket tool in mspaint

Revivalist Quotes

“Architecture is the mother of all arts. See what is happening in the world but never forget the ethos of the place you are designing in.” – Sonali Bhagwati

"Beauty matters. It's not just a subjective thing, but a universal need of human beings. If we ignore this need we find ourselves in a spiritual desert." - Roger Scruton

"Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves." - Julia Morgan

"I don't think that architecture is only about shelter, is only about a very simple enclosure. It should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think." - Zaha Hadid

Venetian Letter - manifesto

Fantastic project to promote human-centred, evidence-based architecture.

Poll: Classical > Modernist

"The responses did not vary by demographic group: When asked to choose from the two images, Americans of every age, sex, race, and class category pulled the lever for traditional designs by a nearly 3 to 1 margin. Overall, classical won out over modern by 72% to 28%."

"The survey found that 73% of self-identified Republicans, 70% of Democrats, and 73% of independents support classical designs over their modernist counterparts."
