I feel the same about modern styles. Functionality is important, but if we abandon artistry our cities become dull, void of visual identity, and it's harder to develop attachment to and respect for them.

riel, One of the reasons that Pittsburgh is chosen so often by the film industry is because of it’s beautiful, unique old buildings. Many of Clevelands buildings also have a lot of class.

You look around England and the houses are built in an old boring style with no care or thought to the people that live in then, the local environment or care or quality of the build. As long as it looks old it must be good. What Rubbish

King Charles has a New World Order to worry about architecture is the “LEAST “ of his concerns how about respecting the sovereignty of India, Caribbean Countries, and most of ALL Africa!!!
