Here too. It's using a boring building and adding make-up. Very kitschy make-up. That's not architecture, it's just decoration.

- freddref 11y agoMaybe that's what modern buildings are lacking? Are we to surmise that architecture is dead if the proposed positive effects of architecture are better accomplished with decoration? The issue with architecture (edit: as practiced) is the resulting abundance of boring, dull or plain ugly buildings. If all it takes is some decoration, away we go, problem solved.
- elcapitan 11y agoThey are definitely lacking a human "scale" and something we can relate to (in my view). But it is also not solved with decoration. Architecture decoration is like putting lipstick on a pig. A dead pig.
