“I’m an expert in aesthetics” …… weird claim ….

[@bv32ification]

His attempt to connect aesthetics and politics is malpractice at best. Not mentioning any of the contemporary cultural conditions that produces homogenous architecture or the level of social inequality during antiquity and pre-enlightenment which subsequently birthed modernity, tells you everything you need to know.

people just want interesting buildings. this kind of modern high mindedness that cordens off ourselves from the past and labels us a supior is just wrong. There will be a future after us and they'll probaly label us just as we have labled those before us, and I think it is wrong to condem the architecture of the past just because the rich people who ordered it did bad things. I argue we should appreciate the architecture for the awesome majesty of the design realised by the architect. After all, it wasn't their fault the type of system they had to work in
