  1.  @ehjo4904  not all and there's a more niche movement to do the same, slow fashion, that wants to the same thing but with fashion

  2. It reminds me of a west african architect I forgot the name of who do architecture just like this. He was tasked by a country in West Africa (probably Ghana or Senegal, but I don't remember) to make a new school for a small village in the countryside and he fully rejected not only modernist designs for local designs, but made it his duty to have the community participate in the construction of the school itself as he rightfully stated not only was this the way buildings were made in village of this kind (and it was mud bricks, so nothing too technologically complicated for the locals to do), but helped the community become attached and find connection to it through their contribution, making it a true beloved center of the village with crowds on its ground even outside school hours (and indirectly through that, attachment and value giving to education in general). One of his anecdotes throughout his projects in Africa was how he constantly had to explain to officials that doing the modernist way in such climates would require tons more of ventilators and air conditionning to make it comfortable to people in it, putting extra strain on the not top-of-the-game electrical grid of countries in developpment. Valuing local culture and the diversity that comes through that, sustainability (even in poorer countries), ecology and community building, that seems all the goals claimed to be valued by architecture schools, don't you think?

  4. @johanwittens7712 superfluous fashion sensitive decoration that the people living in them care about. Also a bit condescending on treating rich centuries old cultural traditions transmitted through centuries of human beings generation after generation as "fashion"

  7. when knowing of the architectural history of eastern Europe, the absolute lack of historical knowledge of this comment is ending me (the Soviet bloc? The ones who built and especially rebuilt strictly in modernist designs and even demolished traditional neighbourhoods like in Czechoslovakia and Romania or left them to rot away like in East Germany and Poland, to the point their modernist blocks became emblems of those political systems?)!
