Trump's addition to the White House is estimated to take $500m and 3 years to build. That's just an addition and that's with 2025 modern technology available. Of course since it's the White House, I'm sure there's a lot of logistical issues and other considerations but it's just an addition and Trump has billionaires backing the project.
Still, there are thousands of buildings all over the world as good of quality and MANY significantly better quality and larger than the White House. Some of these buildings supposedly had 1-3 year build times. Meanwhile, of buildings we know today that are of similar (or better quality) being constructed, we have one that started in the late 1800s and is still being constructed today (Sagrada Família)...
I used to dismiss a lot of the Tartaria stuff because most of it focused on the "free energy" stuff which I felt was a little far-fetched and too "utopian fantasy"-like but something about this old architecture doesn't seem to add up to me. It reminds me a lot like the moon landing. "We just lost the technology" aka we just confirmed how romans did concrete a decade ago.
Did guys in the 1800s really just pop out buildings of similar or better quality than the White house like it was no big deal? Then today, to get something build on a similar scale we need billionaires backing the project. What gives? I don't know if I buy the "it's too expensive" (now but it wasn't back then?) or "no one likes the style" (yet everyone is amazed by it). You'd think a place like Dubai with all its money and expensive "new-style" buildings would have thrown up at least one grand "old-style" building but they didn't even put up one. No pillars just glass boxes.
Something isn't adding up for me here. What are your guys' thoughts?
Of course, this also applies to nasa, they no longer have the right stuff. They didn't lose the technology, they lost the old German rocket scientists who made the technology work. And they would have gone far beyond Apollo if allowed, look into Project Orion and nuclear pulse propulsion.
>The school became famous for its approach to design, which attempted to unify individual artistic vision with the principles of mass production and emphasis on function.
It's the reason why communists built shitty identical buildings to house workers. It's ugly, fragile, and intended to fall apart after a few decades. Tom Wolfe wrote very critically about modern architecture in his book "From Bauhaus to Our House". It's worth a read.
Plus even think about the 90s, we built custom themed buildings (think like pizza hut). Now everything is a grey box because devs say it sells better. Meaning we don't even build things for the current tenant, company, whatever, we build things for whoever comes after, never the present person
