  1. But modern architecture is bad, it's made because its cheaper and not for any functional reason. Classical buildings are not just more practical than modern buildings, they are the only buildings which can converted into something else at a later date should the initial purpose become obsolete. The same can't be said more modern architecture. New York can't convert most of its post war modern architecture buildings into residential property because of the way it was designed. However, classical style buildings in New York can and have been converted.

  5. So much of this is valuable and would greatly improve human society. My only concern is immigration. Immigration makes all these ideas meaningless. Ppl make the place, change the ppl, change the place. These beautiful cities and architecture only work if they are monocultural/homogeneous.

  6. Exactly, it's only relatable to "western whites" because despite our recent failures, all the wonderful stuff we have (like indoor plumbing you were talking about) exists because western whites invented it and created the standards to ensure it was installed appropriately.

  7. Only if it ceases to be Muslim. If it becomes Constantinople again, then it's possible.

  8. That's crazy, for me and most ppl, aesthetics is the core problem.
