  1. Try to hang in there and get the degree. It's easier to change things once you have one. Maybe privately contact classical architects and ask for education material they found helpful when learning about it

  2. They have massive legal immigration in Canada and almost all go to the bigger cities. Canada has so much land so it is a good idea to built new

  3. With numerous Germans involved, I hope my country can also do this.

  4. Yes, it contains tofu

  5. @jsalinasbarros what does having a passport to do with it. The term is merely an umbrella term used to refer to people from Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries in the Americas. Culturally and racially, there are huge differences. You want to put more meaning into a term than there is.

  6.  @coraldestroyer4202  Yes, they have many interesting styles. Indigeneous ones as well as the many later foreign influences. The Spanish weren't the first to exert control. The different kingdoms had Chinese, Indian and Islamic influence but those, unlike Spain, didn't directly integrate them into their empires. So all these influences should make for great potential and variety of traditional styles

  7.  @camouflageartist8897  the suburbs need cars though and that is a different concept from a mainly pedestrian city

  8. Das Problem ist, dass die Wirtschaft zur Zeit im Keller ist and bauen davon stark betroffen ist.

  9.  @varoonnone7159  It'a not cultural genocide. You're being overly dramatic. If you look what I wrote in comments on this video, I actually say I wish they had used more Mayan elements. This town means going back to traditional styles and is successful. It means more such projects will be tried and that is a step in the right direction and will hopefully also result adding more ancient influences from the cultures of the place where these projects will be created

  10. Some time ago, I began finding out about symphonic versions of video game music and there is a lot of interest behind it. There have been commercially successful concerts with that. Sadly nowhere where I live physically. Mario Galaxy was also created with beautiful new symphonic music. I think that shows that the interest for creating new classical music is here. I have never heard of any significant popular interest in the stuff modernist musicologists are pushing. Some of them also try the same they do with architecture and call opponents of modernism racist, nazi etc. Some even calling classical music in general that way

  11.  @wintermatherne2524  isn't postmodernism in architecture a really vague umbrella term for everything reacting to modernism without going back to classic styles ?

  12. It is sad that these people admit that they had to have immigrant and Jewish leaders in order to not be called nazis and other nowadays meaningless stuff. Even the agreeing Socialdemokrat seems to want to not directly join thd uprising group.

  13. Great idea. I like including Mayan elements, maybe a bit more should be used but it let's just add more in the future and not make the perfect the enemy of the good. I heard Guatemala is taking a look at El Salvador's successful hard crackdown on gangs. I wish Central America can eventually succeed again.

  14.  @ThomasMangel-lc5ii  they didn't do it in NL either until people successfully pushed for it

  15. @LouisSubearth wrong. In many countries, you can compare crime statistics between diffefent ethnic groups and also among different income groups.

  16. Disagree with the status quo and you get called that way regardless of your other politics. Even if you just disagree strongly on a single topic with the published mainstream

  17. ​ @JayTse-x7l There has been an epidemia of such incidents called tofu dreg in China even in prestige projects. Well, in communist China.

  18.  @varoonnone7159  Did you watch the whole video? Even if it was only Spanish, the colonial period is part of their history and didn't stop after independence either.

  19. Although the results are very similar, I think there is a difference between building cheap because of high demand for living and office space and the modernist architecture ideology. Adherents to the latter actually think that this ugliness is good looking and justify it on design grounds and attack people who disagree with their visions. With the former group, you'd need to show them an economic incentive for more classical styles and they would willingly change style

  20. It all sounded great until you threw in already politically captured terms.

  21. Are you talking about places like the new capitals of some Southeast Asian cities?

  22. I'm critical about rebuilding totally destroyed buildings. Make new buildings in the traditional style. We need to find a balance between our really bad economic situation and buildings things aesthetically.

  23. You and the associations you have mentioned should maybe contact governments which ran on traditionalism platforms. They should be the easiest to convince but their politicians may have never heard about these successful projects. I'm not telling anybody who to vote for but those parties proclaim love for tradition so let them show that in architecture,too.

  24.  @mugi2595  in regard of green design, using literal greenery helps a lot with temperature in the city

  25. Maybe people don't even want all the sensors? I also don't think nostalgia is bad as long as it isn't blind worship of the past.
