  1. Well there isn't much designed in the real world explicitly for the Internet, because it's a completely separate space. I guess you could say that slowly erasing public spaces is 'designing for the Internet' but it's subtracting not adding, so it's hard to point to the absence of a thing as being a design.

  2. To be fair, the Soviet blocs weren't built because of some megalomaniac, but because of the needs of a population devastated by WWII. The Nazis destroyed most residential buildings along their warpath to Moscow, and the commie blocs were a great way to rapidly increase housing and avoid mass homelessness. Stalin did say that they were meant to be temporary until 'Palaces of the Proletariat' could be built, but.. nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution, after all.

  3. So, crescent (ring) roads. The CTA already rejected those plans in the 2000s. Good luck second time around

  4. ​ @pavelow235  What are you talking about? The US has fast food chains all around the world. Sweden has IKEA, Germany has ALDI, they're both all over Eurasia.

  5. To be fair, the consequences of experimenting with architecture are much greater than those of doing the same thing with music. Not to say that everyone should just wing architecture either, but apprenticeships were also rather exclusionary simply due to the limited amount of people that could be taught at a time. Now we have more capacity but each class is engrained with the same philosophy. I think a balance could be achieved in the modern world without strictly going back to the old way of doing things
