Architecture

“Let me tell you one thing. In this world we are living in, 98 percent of everything that is built and designed today is pure shit. There's no sense of design, no respect for humanity or for anything else.“
-Frank Gehry

Anyone interested in an architecture and design group?

Isn't that the same about what's found in the internet? 98% shit. Don't tell me, you found it on the internet. A group of enthusiasts that debunk his 98% bullshit will be good.

Thank goodness for the 2%

I saw a push lawnmower from the Victorian period that had angelic figures cast in the hubs of the wheels. Such an attention to detail and art even with tools.If only we could bring a little of that back to our buildings and cities

Falling Waters , Frank Lloyd Wright, It is an amazing experience of how you are not really inside though you are.

I agree. I once read that our buildings contribute more to pollution and greenhouse gasses than do all the automobiles. I see crappy houses being built at a rapid pace around here.

Oh yeah, drives me nuts that there aren't regulations that all new construction in Phoenix and Tucson have solar panels, are the least.

@TaraMarshall Germany does better

Only the pyramids... who really built them? Theres no chain marks on the stone's. What rope had that strength? How did they measure and shape for an accurate fit? What cribbing could withstand the weight? It's amazing how (big things) are built out of cut stone without using iron or steel reinforcement.

I agree. I teach design in college and I talk about and give examples of poor design. It's a sadly designed world we live in.
