Hard to quantify ART and make it reasonable in a spreadsheet, these are mostly ages of kings and Lords with no budget limit

When we are preoccupied with building our online world we forget to built our real world. Someone said that when you are not using your phone, they’ve noticed the world has been stuck since 2000. The black screens have duped us into believing we have advanced.

High time preference and debased money……though a good argument could be made that the latter promoted the former.

Correct, survival amidst taxation and inflation took up all their attention

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints makes buildings like that still. The Latter Day Saint Temples. Building them like crazy right now all over the world.

We will get back there, let the renaissance begin 🧡💜

So True — the Bazaar is much more interesting than the cathedral!

Cuz we are ruled by moloch worshippers

Usary is why we dont build like this

With a hard money standard (#Bitcoin) it would be easier to fund. Moneyprinting leads to concrete deserts.

Architecture is a reflection of needs and new standards (functionality, light management, materials, etc.). What is considered beautiful has also changed over time.

High time preference.

We prioritize efficiency over beauty.

Fiat architecture distorted by bad money. Let’s hope and work for a new renaissance. 🫡🧡💜

Nowadays we have opinions. In the past they had conviction/ideals/visions to build buildings which they won’t see finished in their life time, but make it for generations to come. Very strong when you think about it.

or never present. too busy of the what if and what could have!
