- xyzzyz 3y agoNone, that’s what I meant by “not so easy” (just in case you missed the mild sarcasm, and took my comment to literally mean that it’s not easy but still doable to not see ugly buildings).
- tptacek 3y agoIronically, one of the major themes of modern(ist) architecture is eliminating ornamentation and focusing solely on the hierarchy of spaces buildings create and what their uses are. "Form follows function" comes from modern architecture. (Not all of it is successful! And like, it's hard to say Calatrava is about that. But we hear more about the failures than the successes in modern architecture, and conversely less about the failures of classical architecture, b/c survivorship bias.)
