I concur, modernism is shit, its the lack of human emotion and feeling. Its insipid bs. Dont get me wrong, I like a nice glass supertall or some city defining modern skyscraper but for the most part, anything built after 1945 is complete garbage. Even buildings that are built to mimic historic ones still dont come close to their historic counterparts 99 percent of the time. Nobody will look at a mass produced crap suburban home in 100 years and be like, hey we should preserve these for future generations the way we look at Victorian homes today. Victorian homes are beautiful and made with skilled labor. They were made during a time before most things were mass produced. Do you really think someone in 100 years will go hey, lets preserve the Woodlands, Texas or the terrible suburb of Plano in Dallas? There will never be anything historic about our postwar cookie cutter Mcmansion suburbia and the modernistic architecture that goes along with it. Remember Im not saying all modernism is complete shit. But I hope 95 percent of it gets demolished in the future as our cities come back and hopefully developers will start embracing pre WW2 ways of making buildings again.
