I disagree. In the post-postmodern period Architecture, as a whole, has been trying to better understand the needs of the users of the building and has been less about flashy design wins. New stadiums, for example, have been architected for flow, utility, and outdoor air conditioning, while trying to maintain a good look. New standalone business buildings are more oriented toward usefulness, accessibility, and comfort, than they are about making a statement. The proliferation of many lower-cost construction models (1+5, for example), show that practicality is important.
- jona-f 4y agoYes, they've being trying, but as far as i noticed failed, cause the underlying systemic problems haven't changed. Buildings are status symbols, designed top-down. Those deeper societal issues, like classism, have gotten even worse. "Outdoor air conditioning" sounds totally ridiculous and a quick search suggests it's just as bad as it sounds. There should be no world cup in Qatar to begin with.
