Youtube comments of RR OO (@RROO-qy8je).

  1. Modernist architecture should already be considered old architecture. We've had the same modernist architecture for about 60 years now. For example Art Nouveau and Art Deco developed around the same time Modernist architecture has so they technically could be considered new modern architecture the same way modernist architecture is considered new. Art Nouveau and Art Deco are a great example of modern architecture using modern materials that looks good. Its very possible. And we live in the best times to do this. We are more advanced than ever and can build buildings twice as fast as we did in the past. There even are robots that can build detailed ornaments very efficiently. Going back in time to copy architecture isnt the best option but it surely is a great start. We first need to get used to classical architecture again and then continue from then on designing new architecture styles using modern materials and building techniques. This literally is how its been done all throughout history. They looked back at the previous architecture styles and improved them with new designs. But the main framework was the same which is what matters. The main design rule should be to use Classical proportions. From there on you can invent millions of new architecture styles. Maybe ive written too much but i hope people will get the point and will try to be more open minded about this topic.

  2. I see many people being mad at how Disney-like these newly built traditional buildings look. And if they do whats the problem? I would rather live in a fairytale looking building than in a depressing gray tower. Just because its in fiction doesnt mean it should stay that way. Those fictional buildings were invented by real people with awesome creativity. They could easily have built those buildings in real life and people would just asume its a new architecture style. This is basically the new 21st century architecture style. Fairytale architecture. This is such a dumb comment but there are actually a few people out there that hate these buildings just because they look like fairytales.

  3.  @NPSpaceZZZ  A loss is still a loss no matter how small. And also the Kursk region may be small compared to the rest of Russia in terms of land but it still is very important since its in the European part of Russia. The asian part of Russia is mostly uninhabited. The European part of Russia is much more developed and important so losing even a little bit of it is pretty bad.

  4. Exactly. There is one such place tho. Its a city called El Alto. No one knew about it before they invented their own new unique architecture style called Neo Andean. It uses modern materials but uses local traditional designs. This is what every city should do. Check it out.

  5. Did all of those blocks give people affordable homes? Yes. Was it worth it tho? No. Bucharest is supposed to be the main point of Romania. It's supposed to represent the history of Romania. If you destroy all historic buildings then there's no way to show off all that history. People wanna see places with history and uniqueness. Sure the city may be full of affordable homes for unwealthier people. But if people don't wanna travel to see that city then you can't really be proud of it. If people are disgusted and depressed to see your city then that's not something to be proud of.

  6. 0:55 Actually thats very true. Sure Skyscrapers can house more people but a ton of space is wasted since you cant have Skyscrapers too close to each other because sunlight wont reach the lower windows. Cities should have buildings that are tall enough to house as many people but short enough to let sunlight reach the ground floor windows.

  7. It just shows that money and intelligence dont always go hand in hand. They may have billions maybe even trillions of dollars but they dont even know how to design a functional city.

  8. Yeah i understand that. But the less turns people have to take the faster they start driving which increases the likelihood of a crash. More turns means cars have to slow down more often wich decreases the likelihood of a crash. I get it you love driving cars and taking more turns seems like more of a chore. But i asume taking more turns wont kill you and is far better than having a higher risk of getting into a crash.

  9. Georgian people are fighting hard to join the EU. Meanwhile Romanian people cant wait to vote an Anti EU candidate. Crazy times.

  10.  @the_aesthetic_city  I know the answer for that. Profit. We live in a capitalist world where everyone only cares about making as much profit as possible. But that sadly leads to them using the ugliest cheapest materials that not only make the buildings uglier but also make them lower quality. We arent slaves that deserve to live in the cheapest buildings possible. We are human beings after all. And we are underusing all this advanced technology that we have. We could build classical buildings twice as fast as they did in the past. Looking to the past we can see people were much poorer than we are now. Yet they still put effort into making their house as beautiful as possible. Even though they didnt have much money they still spent it on beautfiul deorations. They were proud of the buildings they built.

  11. The internet isnt the main problem. Although it does have quite a few problems. The main problem is social media. The internet is useful and can even save lives but social media is just brainrot. Its straight up an addiction.

  12.  @african8855  Sure they look much better than boring modernist buildings. But they could be better. The main problem with modernist buildings is the proportions they use. A building can use as much ornamentation as it wants but if the proportions of the building are odd then it will look weird. But thats not really the architects fault. Its the architecture schools fault. They dont teach architects how to use proportions in design. Adding classical proportions to buildings costs zero dollars but they are very important. What we need to do is first teach architects the classical proportions again, study all the previous architecture styles and go from then on with new styles.

  13. I dont think they are against this specific thing. They are against about everything else. Most of them dont even know why they hate him in the first place. The internet hates him which leads to them hating him too. Sure he has done some bad stuff, no one is perfect but they are overexaggarating with the hate.

  14.  @topsnek4603  Yeah im a traditionalist myself but those people are straight up stupid. They think we should only remain in the past and keep designing the same old architecture styles. Whats funny is if we stopped at the first architecture style we would still be building stone age huts. Architecture needs to evolve. It has been evolving for years. We should always be evolving. Every architecture style has been an evolution of the previous one. You take what came before it and improve onto it with new build techniques and materials. But the problem with the modernist style is that it wasnt an evolution from what came before. They basically reinvented the wheel which no one asked for. Art Deco and Art Nouveau for example was developed around the same time as modernism. They use modern materials and dont use the classical proportions. Yet they are absolutely gorgeous. If a building has elements that come from nature it will guaranteed look beautiful. Modernist architecture has nothing from nature. Straight edges, sharp corners, Massive glass surfaces, Unnatural materials, etc. are all not found in nature hence they're ugly. Sorry for the paragraph but i really got into it.

  15.  @tann_man  Not even devolve but straight up starting from new which is insane. We have so many years of knowledge about architecture and we decided to just throw it out the window. Those styles were improved upon and perfected for thousands of years. Why change something that already works? Its straight up stupid.

  16. People tend to forget that the Bauhaus movement started in Germany and that a part of Germany used to be communist which meant ugly commie blocks.

  17.  @dannjp75  Ok now you dont know what youre talking about. Youre complaining about having too many workers in your city? Youre complaining about people trying to do good for your city? Polish or local they are still workers and human beings. If the local ones are out of work then they should go find other places of work. Its better to have too many workers than too little. As a matter of fact there is a shortage of workers. If all the immigrants left then the Uk would become a third world country with a lack of workers. I know how British people are. Most of them dont want to be working hard laborious jobs and instead want high paying jobs.

  18. Obviously buildings in the past also had their flaws. No building is ever perfect. But we live in a modern world now. Look all over Europe and you can see traditional buildings restored with modern appliances. The beauty of the buildings isnt what caused the poverty. It was the poor interiors and lack of important amenities. Sure we currently have a housing crisis but that isnt really the reason why beautiful buildings arent possible. A housing crisis has existed for decades which means beauty doesnt have anything to do with the housing crisis. We can build traditional buildings as fast and as cheap as modernist buildings. They even found a way to mass produce ornamentation with fast machinery. But lets say modernist buildings are cheaper. Are we forever gonna build temporary cheap buildings to temporarily solve the housing crisis? Or should we look towards building beautiful buildings that will last for ages?

  19. Its surprising it isnt. It benefits the government, the inmantes and the whole country. Otherwise those people are just there wasting time.

  20. To put it simply modern music is just mass produced predictable garbage. Gen Z is sick of this bullshit and since this is the only type of music made today they start looking back to the times when people put a lot of thought into making their music as good as possible since it was way harder and more expensive to make songs. They were actually passionate about it. But nowadays its much easier to make music which leads to people massproducing similar songs until one gets popular. They mostly care about the profit nowadays. Im not saying this is the case with everyone but the majority surely is like that. And even the people who are passionate about it are kinda forced into copying from songs and sounds that are trending otherwise no one would listen to them. We havent had a new genre for years.

  21. It feels like everything about the 21st century is too simple and boring. I mean we always like to brag about how advanced we've become and how smart we are yet we use the most simple designs in architecture, city planning, etc. If we really are that smart then i asume we are able to design far more unique and efficient city planning designs than just some simple grids that even a kid could draw.

  22.  @Lildizzle420  I totally agree with that statement. I dont necessarily hate modernist architecture, there are some quite interesting buildings built in that style. What i hate is how everything looks the same. I basically hate the international style. Its been about 50 years and we still havent managed to design a new architecture style. We need more diversity. More styles. When i travel somewhere i dont wanna feel like those buildings look exactly like in my country. We are so advanced and have so many tools and robots yet we use them to make simple boxes that even a kid can draw. Modernist architecture is also very inconvenient. Flat roofs in cold/rainy areas is stupid. Leakages happen quite often. Or glass skyscrapers in the desert which makes the buildings 10x hotter.
    2
  23.  @lws7394  Yeah. Just because something is fiction doesnt mean it should remain fiction. Its not like fiction is outside our reality. Fictional architecture was still invented by the same creative people who design real buildings. Bringing those styles into reality is nothing wrong.

  24. Kamala voters have the worst possible reasons. They are mainly voting for her because she's a woman or black. The crazy thing is that they are also the biggest haters against sexists and racists while they are literally doing those things. Crazy world we live in.

  26.  @Marwan-_-7m  Obviously. Bad city designg originated in USA. Dubai was literally inspired by American cities and suburbs.

  27.  @NickAndriadze  No its not. Its actually the worst of the modernist architecture. As someone who lives in a country full of commie blocks i think i have the right to say this about them. They are depressing. You mentioned Originality. Since when is originality important in architecture? We are designing a city after all and not an art gallery. Sure buildings shouldnt be a copy and paste of the other buildings. They should have their own unique design but overall they all should look good together. They shouldnt stand out. Originality is indeed necessary but from what youre commenting i feel like youre talking about an excessive form of originality.
    2
  28.  @olliestudio45  Yes i totally agree. There are many traditional buildings that have very little detail or ornamentation but still look very good. Proportions and natural materials are the main components of making a building look pleasent. Modernist architecture is the exact opposite of nature. It uses literally no design rules. They just design random shapes using no design technique. It also uses sharp corners and straight edges that are not found anywhere in nature. And the materials are made out of glass and steel which are materials made by humans. And like you said nature definetely make a building more lively and pleasent. So the conclusion is that modernist architecture has nothing to do with nature and we need to find a better alternative.
    2
  29.  @NickAndriadze  I completetly agree with you. I never said we should demolish them. I said the construction of them was a mistake and we should stop building them. Because commie blocks were also seen futuristic when they were first built but now that time has passed we finally realized how ugly and depressing they really are. I guarantee the same is gonna happen with modernist architecture in a few years. But people dont realize this. The main problem is that there isnt an alternative to modernist architecture. We dont have a new architecture style thats different from modernism. Which leads people to think this is our only option. Its using new materials and unique shapes which makes them think its futuristic therefore they think its interesting.

  30. Before even watching the video i'll answer the thumbnail. Why did Minimalism fail? Because human beings have souls and aren't robots. It just shows how the government views us. As soulless slaves meant to live and work in ugly enviroments and then die. That's it. There's also the excuse of money. Yes people indeed want affordable homes. But did these ugly buildings solve the housing crisis? As a matter of fact No. The housing prices are insane and there are an impressive amount of homeless people. Building cheap buildings is also more expensive long term since they break down. The problem isn't how much a building costs but more on how well the government deals with it. Beauty is essential. We are advanced enough to figure out a way to make affordable buildings that also have character. Even in the past peasents were far poorer and less educated than us now, yet their houses still had some sort of character. As a matter of fact people from all over the world travel to Medieval villages to admire the simple beauty of those peasent houses. Not even public art is beautiful anymore given that the main purpose of it is an art sculpture. Developers have hit jackpot with the Minimalism movement. They have to pay less on buildings which leads to more profit for them. Sorry for the paragraph but it frustrates me where we've ended up and how easily people are fooled into accepting it as if there's no other option.

  31. Just because a few people dont like paths doesnt mean we should just not build them. Its not like the empty space where paths would have been built is gonna be used for something more important. Paths are pretty narrow so as long as infrastructure isnt destroyed to make way for them there is pretty much no reason to oppose their construction. But the crazy thing is there still are people who oppose them like their life depended on it. Nimbys are a totally different species. Maybe they dont like looking at them because they get reminded how lazy and unhealthy they've become. I guarantee walking or cycling would solve a majority of Americas obesity and health problems.

  32. I personally was standing with Trump. But after all the stuff he's done i completely despise him. To think there are people so deranged in the chat that agree with Trump no matter what as if he's their daddy is crazy. At this point they dont even have their own opinions anymore. They are controlled by Trump. If Trump says something that conflicts their own opinions then they just give up their beliefs and side with Trump. Its insane. I bet if Trump sided with Ukraine from the start and he wouldve shown hate towards Russia they wouldve done the same. Im embarrassed to share beliefs with these clowns.

  35. Modernist architecture wasnt progress in the first place. It was something completely different. Progress means you improve on the previous thing. Modernist completely reinvented it which was unnecessary. Technically Brandevoort is and it isnt just a copy of the old architecture. It improved the old architecture by adding modern appliances which is still considered progress so the argument for goinh backwards isnt really true.

  36. It makes sense tho. People feared so much that the population would increase significantly that the only solution they could think of was to not have kids anymore which significantly changed the situation. It wasnt the right decision.

  37.  @jonathanjones3126  Thats a very dumb statement. Just because there is green space doesnt mean the whole idea is climate friendly. Glass skyscrapers are bad for birds and they even melt cars in the summer. If you wanna be enviromentally friendly then go all the way. The most enviromentally friendly way to build is out of natural materials and like you said adding green spaces aswell. Is it more expensive and harder to build? Yes. Is it the best build technique for the enviroment? Also Yes. We sadly cant have both. You can build as many skyscrapers with plants on them as you want. But there still will be a better alternative for the enviroment than that.
    1
  38.  @jonathanjones3126  Do you seriously associate natural materials with caves? Also how come all the 1000 year old buildings are All made of natural materials? Skyscrapers with green spaces in between is very wasteful because its not like those green spaces are actual forests that support any biodiversity. Its just dead space with a few trees plopped onto it. If we make all our cities sprawled like this we would eventually have no more space left on this planet. We need a balance. Dense cities sepparated from big open nature filled with wildlife. Nature cant live along humans. Now when i say dense cities i dont mean Kowloon walled city type cities. Like i said before we need a balance in everything. Just dense enough to maximize the use of space but not too dense where its basically a slum.
    1
  39.  @jonathanjones3126  Of course Adobe buildings dont survive in rainy places. Adobe buildings are meant to be built in the desert where it never rains. Also when i said natural materials i didnt say everything thats natural needs to be used in buildings. I dont want dirt houses. I mean natural materials like wood, stone, sandstone, etc. I totally agree with you on the suburban sprawl thing. Like i said previously we need to build more dense in order to leave more space for wild areas. I never said im against parks. I said im against spacing out buildings with massive parks in between. Thats basically the same thing as suburban sprawl. We need dense cities, with parks obviously that dont take up too much space. We are slowly running out of space anyway. Our earth isnt infinite. And at least half of the earths surface should remain wild. "You can build large dense areas that are nice to live in, it cost more money but is very doable." Thats literally what ive been saying.

  40. If they were against all immigrants they would straight up ban anyone from entering the country. But thats clearly not the case. Immigrants are free to enter the country whenever they want as long as its in a legal way. But on the other hand illegal immigrants literally means people commiting a crime. Thats the definition of Illegal. Why would you let people commiting a crime enter the country. Lets think about this logically. Imagine if certain people didnt go through the airport control and just got onto the plane without being checked. It would be pretty much be a safe haven for terrorists and criminals to leave the country without getting noticed. The same thing goes for the borders. If any immigrant can enter the country freely without getting checked then whats stopping criminals from also entering the country. This is such an obvious thing but it seems like the majority of people still dont know that.

  41. Art Deco technically is as old as Modernist architecture. It was invented around the same time so its not that unusual to bring it back. But what makes Art Deco better than Modernist architecture besides the beauty is that it was a natural continuation from the previous architecture styles. Modernist architecture on the other hand was something completely different that had nothing to do with the past. I say we revive Art Deco and go on from there inventing new architecture styles that make sense with what came before it.

  42. What does that mean? It means she only cared about your votes and not you as people. All the nice things she said and did were all for show. If she truly cared about her supporters she would stay with them no matter if win or loss. Trump from the looks of it cares quite a lot about his supporters. Even when he wasn't president anymore i remember he still showed up and engaged with his supporters.

  43. We have thousands of years of knowledge about architecture. This knowledge can only be earned from thousands of years of civilizations experimenting and improving their architecture based on the enviroment. What we did was let all this knowledge go to waste and just decided to start from the start because we wanted something different and "innovative". But its pretty hard to invent something different from architecture that's already been perfected as much as possible. So what's the opposite of perfect and beautiful? Ugly and disorganized. Sure its more expensive but its totally worth it. For example we spend so much on climate change and saving the enviroment but when it comes to the enviroment humans live in we use the cheapest stuff. Building based on natural techniques not only helps us but also helps the enviroment by using natural materials.

  44. Minimalism has been going for pretty much all of the 2000s. Thats a lot of time without any new major design style. This has never happened throughout history. I mean we can literally distinguish the 80s and 90s by just their design styles. Minimalism is already outdated but since there has been no other design style discovered people think we have no choice but to continue with Minimalism forever. Maximalism being the oppposite of Minimalism is chosen to be the next big style which i think is just gonna be a quick microtrend which there are many of thanks to Tiktok. I hope eventually we will move past Minimalism and discover a completely new design style.

  46. No city is perfect and neither are new proposed cities. But what matters is for them to be at least better than current cities. Modern cities clearly arent working. So if your new proposed city is the same thing thats been built for the last 50 years then its basically pointless. New cities should be built only if the design is something new and fixes problems of modern cities.

  49.  @jonathanstensberg  Yeah ive always been saying that. Thats probably the biggest reason. But even if we were to build "fairytale/science fiction" type of buildings it wouldnt be a problem. If it works like a buildings then theres no problem that it looks like Disney. Disney buildings are anyway made out of cardboard and cheap materials.
    1
  50.  @tann_man  Yeah but didnt you know that architecture keeps evolving? It has always been evolving. Every architecture style from the past has evolved into a different style. We dont have to suddenly stop. These buildings are basically just a new style. For example even Art Nouveau looks very kitchy sometimes because its not as old as other styles. Buildings age over time which is why they look the way they do. You think all these old buildings looked dirty when they were first finished? No. They obviously looked all clean and new. We just need to get used to it. Same with the statue of liberty for example. If we tried to rebuild it people would think it looks weird because its orange. When in reality it looked exactly like this when it was finished. Buildings dont have to necessarily follow any classical rules. It needs to follow rules that are found in nature. Art Nouveau doesnt follow any rules yet everyone can agree it looks gorgeous. Thats because they use many flowery motifs and use a ton of curvers which are all found in nature.

  51.  @pimdegroot9656  Why do you think they got so expensive? Because they are good high quality buildings. Do you suggest we build shitty buildings that dont even last 10 years? I asume not. Gentrification is a very difficult topic. Just because gentrification happens doesnt mean we should build shitty buildings for the poor. They still deserve high quality buildings. We dont live in the middle ages after all. They dont deserve to live in slums.

  52.  @charlesmartin8159  I guess thats a good point. But there are many buildings out there built out of natural buildings yet people still call them kitchy or fake because the paint looks brand new. Sometimes they make sense but sometimes they dont know what theyre talking about.

  54. @EliasBac I mentioned its a stupid thing to believe. But this is one of the most common excuses of modernists. And i understand why they find stupid excuses for us not to build them. Because if we start building beautiful again they will have more work to do. Currently they are designing simple boxes that even a baby could design. They wanna do as little effort for as much money possible. Thats why they live in beautiful traditional buildings. Because they look amazing but they dont wanna spend the time on actually designing buildings like that.

  55.  @guillaumefigarella1704  Isnt it kinda odd that a building needs to be dirty and crumbling for it to look alright in our eyes. These buildings looked clean and new when they were first built. We just need to adapt to them. This is how these buildings should look like. Its how they were intended to look from the architects of the past.
    1
  56.  @utube1255  You literally proved my point. I was literally talking about stupid people like you in my comment. Guess what. The buildings in China look so shitty and fake because they are made out of cheap materials. Also they dont know how to design using classical proportions. But these buildings are built almost exactly as they were in the past. This is how all the historic buildings used to look like. Im sorry that they arent all ruined and dirty like most historical buildings are. Cleanliness doesnt mean fake.

  57.  @clauslangenbroek9897  I know that very well since i come from Eastern Europe and i've experienced the conditions. Those "well engineered blocks" are already facing leaks and are already falling apart. You are talking about function which is not the point of the video. The video is about beauty. And we all know those commie blocks are not only ugly but also depressing. No wonder Eastern Europeans often get the stereotype of being depressed. Its truly depressing to look at them. On top of that they arent even functional like i mentioned before about the leakages and them falling apart. On the other hand beautiful buildings are made out of natural materials that last for ages. Sure they take longer to build but its worth it given that they last so much longer. The beauty of them is also very functional. They make people happy.

  58. Mrbeast may have overpassed Pewdiepie but in the end Pewdiepie was the one who actually won. He just peacefully retired and now lives happily in Japan with his wife and kid. No controversies no allegations. Except for him saying the n word which he got away with. On top of that he also has all the money he made from Youtube so bro is definetely winning in life. On the other hand Mrbeast will probably have the worst retirement.

  59. I honestly expected something like this. MrBeast was doing too good and his content became so high budget that it ruined the rest of the content on Youtube. A majority of Youtubers copied Mrbeasts content and his fast paced low attention span type editing. Something was bound to happen. Either people wouldve got bored of his content and his channel would have slowly died or some big controversy would have happened which seems to be the case.

If this is what you wanted to discuss then its already settled.

  61.  @kierenbuckley370  Yes LEGAL immigration. But ILLEGAL immigration is whats the problem. Illegal immigration basically means they snuck into the country illgeally without being checked at the border for a criminal record. Its the same as no airport control. If everyone can enter the country illegally without getting consequences then it also means that criminals can enter the country without any consequences. Also the majority of Illegal immigrants are poor and have nothing because they most likely left because of war which means they will live on the streets since they cant afford anything. Its sad thats the truth.

  62.  @TheMercury-13  Yeah i dont know how they are but from what youve told already they definetely sound like some dumb selfish people. They only care about themselves having a job. They would rather lose a majority of the workers just so they can get a job.

  63. The leftists are all about "equality and freedom of expression". But when it comes to christians they dont get treated equally and dont have the freedom to express themselves. It seems like freedom only applies to what she supports which are feminism, lgbtq, etc. Thats not really equality. Thats called favoritism.

  64. Thats what happens when you ignore history and think you are smarter and more advanced than people from the past. The quote "Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it" explains our modern world very well. Modern architects thought they were smarter than the people from the past so what they did was completely ignore all the thousands of years of architectual knowledge and instead decided to completely reinvent it for absolutely no reason.

  65. People keep thinking about how there is gonna be a housing crisis since there will be way more people in the future. So they think not having babies will prevent that but instead it will create a bigger problem. Our planet currently is quite populated. There arent too many jobs but also not too few. There are just about enough jobs for everyone. Imagine if the population suddenly went down. Our planet was adapted to a high amount of people but if the population suddenly dropped it would mean there would be a huge job shortage which could turn out catastrophic. There wouldnt be enough people to maintain all the factories and infrastructure which would in turn mean the world would need to learn to rely on less stuff. Less food, less infrastructure, etc. We definetely shouldnt focus on lowering our population since our already existing world isnt ready for less workers and less people. I hope what i said makes sense and is understandable.

  66. Soviet city planning wasnt necesarily what got Soviet cities the bad reputation. It was the ugly depressing buildings. Sure they solved the housing crisis, but only for a temporary time. Now look at those buildings in what state they are. Demolishing buildings and rebuilding them once every 40 years is as expensive as just building a stronger more high quality building that will last for ages. Even timber framed buildings are still lasting from hundreds of years. Also the building process is the most enviromentally damaging. Demolishing and rebuilding them constantly is far more enviromentally wasteful than just building it once. Lets not forget the aspect of the building. Beauty has been neglected in architecture, even though its a very important part of the building. You dont have to design highly ornamental buildings. As long as it is well proportions and has a little bit of character its still extremely beautiful. We arent robots after all, meant to live in prisons, work in prisons and die. We are human beings with souls. Living and working in beautiful spaces significantly makes us happier.

  67. Japenese cities are like Amsterdam just without the beautiful traditional buildings of Amsterdam. The public transportation infrastructure and the walkability is enough to make the cities pleasent to be in. America on the other hand neither has beautiful architecture nor good transportation infrastructure. America definetely needs to take inspiration from Japan.

  68.  @illiiilli24601  Europe in general has quite beautiful traditional buildings. Thats what i meant. Sadly traditional japanese architecture didnt have as much time as European architecture to develop into big city buildings. Japanese architecture is mostly rural. Thats the only thing that would make Japanese cities even better but otherwise the transportation infrastructure already makes them good enough.

  69. The lights are probably even less costly since the cracks in between the pixels don't have to be leds. Unless the pixelated leds somehow cost more than normal headlight.

  70. I love the idea. Everything comes manual, as simple and as cheap as possible for those who cant afford something more expensive. Manual window openers may sound like a stretch but its not like its life threatening or making the car less efficient. Its just more anoying to say but not really super bad. Its made for people who care more about it being affordable than convenient and automated. But then the whole customizable idea adds onto it making it more personal and custom to the people, but also making it an attractive car for wealthier people since they can change out the things to something more efficient and convenient.

  71.  @MrBsehratmaannking  This whole thing was such a waste tho. Cities worked perfectly fine back then. Sure they werent perfect and had some flaws but overall they were pretty good since city design had thousands of years of experimentation and improvements. But then the modernists came and decided to completely reinvent the wheel for absolutely no reason. Why reinvent something that already works. What we shouldve done was to just improve upon the already existing city design principles. We keep thinking we are better and smarter than the people from the past which leads to us making these type of mystakes. The saying "Those Who Do Not Learn History Are Doomed To Repeat It” fits perfectly to this topic.

  72.  @AL-lh2ht  Im not talking about the wealth of the people. Im talking about the city design. Your capitalist mind only thinks about money. People who live in the city may be rich but the city itself is very inconvenient and poorly designed. You can be a billionaire but you still have to traverse a massive highway in order to get to the grocery store. Thats inconvenient and poor design.

  73. Makes sense. America is basically just a mix of Canada and Mexico.

  74. America is gonna fall in the near future anyway. Trump being president is gonna make these last few years of America just a little more entertaining.

  75.  @NickAndriadze  Im talking about the majority of residential buildings. Those are the ones that make up the majority of the city. Also youre probably one of the rare group of people that live in cities with commie blocks that also like Brutalism.The majority of people absolutely despise these buildings. Yes the Neoclassical buildings stand out because theres very few of them. But dont you remember that they were build before the Concrete blocks. So basically the concrete blocks are the ones that stand out and should be taken down. They demolished the Neoclassical buildings to make way for those blocks.

  76.  @NickAndriadze  I do agree very much with your statement. Commie blocks definetely were necessary. But now its been a long time since the last major war and i would say a majority of the countries are doing way better than before. Though i do find temporary housing to be a bad idea. In the context of World war 2 it was smart but going forwards i hope we dont do it again. Building buildings that only last for a few years is a waste of materials and is bad for the planet. Instead we should focus on making buildings out of natural materials that automatically last longer and design them in the same way classical buildings were built where the building can have different uses. For example traditional industrial buildings were turned into housing. I dont imagine someone would ever wanna live in a brutalist power plant turned into housing.

  77.  @ibrett9912  Thats even better for my point. Either way its been a very long time and we still havent invented something new. I guess we arent as smart and innovative as we thought we were.

  78.  @clarity2118  Yes but given that we live in a society where quite a lot of people are Atheists and dont believe in anything it explains why they have no inspiration and dont care about making beautiful buildings. They only care about the money which leads them to build the cheapest ugliest buildings because they cost less and make more profit.

  79. Of course people of the same race are gonna live together since they have more in common and realte to eachother more. Its not racist. The same way Black people live in the same area. Its just how it is. Unless they're banning other races its not even close to being a racist thing. Not every settlement should have at least a person of every possible race living there. People focus too much on America's horrible slave past. The world doesn't revolve around America and what they did in the past.

  81. The problem is always gonna be Gentrification. But it will slowly disappear after a while. In the past even peasants had beautifully decorated houses which means beautiful affordable housing definetely is possible. We just have to figure out a way to make it happen.

  82. Putting all the important city services like police stations, fire stations, hospitals, etc. in the middle would be very practical since all the services could very easily access any part of the city since they only have to take one main radiating road. Compared to grid cities where they have to take all sorts of different streets and turns circular cities would be much more practical.

  84. So basically it would make sense to have a Hybrid car. Using electricity during the summer, but using petrol during winter.

  85. It seems like Russia embarrassed itself with the Ukraine war so now it wants to start a war with every country that laughed at it. Otherwise this move is so random. What the heck did Poland do? Leave Poland alone it went through enough already.

  86.  @milosstojanovic4623  What do you mean? Its leaving it alone. As a matter of fact its protecting it. When i said leave it alone i meant stop invading it.
