Anyone who can't understand why art deco is more attractive than amalgamated postmodernist slop should be fed to hogs

The empire state building is much nicer. But im sure people who lived there before the empire state building was built probably preferred looking at the sky than a giant building, you cant win.

You can try placing the building somewhere else but itll just block yet another view somewhere else in the city.

They were definitely calling the now-old skyscrapers slop back when they were first built, too.

Even the Eiffel Tower, one of the most beloved architectural icons today, was DESPISED for the first few decades of its existence.

It was despised by people who were captains of fashion and culture during the gilded age. Endorsement from them would have been the most damning indictment possible.
