I've listened to some mainstream ivy league architects try to explain why modern architecture is the way it is and past architecture is the way it is. None of the reasons seem compelling enough. It seems incredibly orchestrated. They could have kept building that way if they wanted to. The reasons for why they didn't want to are lackluster. "After WWII people just had a fatigue for buildings from the past and wanted to modernize." That's literally a cited reason for why do many Old World Buildings were demolished and replaced by modern boxes. The demolition as far as I'm concerned was orchestrated and these excuses were given for why but the excuses don't hold up.

The truth as far as I'm concerned is jews hated seeing such amazing structures because it reminded them of White people's superiority so they decided to make everything ugly. There's a reason the cite "after WWII" because that's when jews fully took over Western Nations completely.

Something I haven't looked into yet but it seems odd that everything used to have stone/marble/granite but then we switched away from all of that (jews orchestrated the change) but I don't remember hearing any of the workers who worked with stone/marble/granite complaining about the shift? Given how fast some of these buildings were constructed, our society would have had tons of skilled laborers with these materials in the construction industry and it seems we killed all their work nearly immediately and all at once. They probably weren't too happy but it sounds like they were entirely silenced which just gives credence to the fact the shift wasn't organic and naturally but 100% orchestrated and pushed on us by jews.

I've watched a lot about Tartaria and the Ancient Civilization built these structures narrative. It's tough to dismiss the theory entirely because there's a lot of things they seem pretty unbelievable. Some of these amazing structures we'd have difficulty building today popped up on towns with really small populations in construction times that sound unbelievable. The quality of the World's Fair Buildings is questionably too good done in such short time spans. The logistics in these periods of time don't seem probable. The fact many people petitioned to keep the buildings and then it just so happened the one building they decide to keep from the fair was actually constructed with permanent materials but every other building was a temporary building, uh huh... Still, I definitely think we could have built all these structures because I think many people's only skill was literally constructing these kinds of buildings. No internet, no other hobbies, no distractions. All these people knew was building these kinds of buildings. No one today has that level of care or focus for their job. Also, too many unions and workers rights that lead to lazy workers and 10x the time to get anything done.

This was also before the corporations. Most builders were sole proprietorships or partnerships. That means if they did a bad job, they could be sued personally. When a corporation does a bad job only the corporation can be sued and modern builders often keep the building company holding very little value so they don't care if they get sued. It's quite common for builders to fuck up and there be basically no recourse for the stakeholders because the building company is a shell corp. This didn't happen in the 1800s because the builder was a master builder who was putting himself personally on the line. If we want quality building we need to go back to this model and away from the corporation model, imo.

It's because of inflation, plain and simple. As labor and material costs climbed, this incentivized the modernist movement. It started in Europe after WWI, but dominated after WWII. WWI and WWII being the two of the most inflationary events in history. WWII resulting in the spread of communism, socialism, and liberalism. Inherent to modernism is the philosophical rejection of ornamentation, the embrace of minimalism, and the principle of "form follows function."

Whereas old architecture was driven by SACRED GEOMETRY, really out of necessity. New archetecture is driven by cost-benefit analysis, ROI, financialization, economic efficiency. Liberals in the Weimar Republic embraced it because of its anti-Christian, anti-traditional symbolism.

Originally invented by White Americans and Europeans as means to utilize the new technologies of steel frame structures, tempered glass, and quick setting concrete, the jews adopted it and subverted it in the Weimar Republic and other areas of Europe and turned it into the degeneracy it became.

>It's because of inflation, plain and simple.

Bingo. No need for Tartarian nonsense. The truth is bad enough. The financial system requires constant need for profits to service the debt, ever expanding. You have two ways of accomplishing this, neither of which are sustainable: produce more, or become more efficient. While production can go up, we live on a finite planet with finite resources. So while raw production has increased in the past 150 years, it's more costly per unit, and not unlimited.

So you're left with efficiency. But that too is limited. However with the magic of engineering you can min-max your buildings. You can figure out the absolute minimum amount of material and labor your structure needs. So out goes the granite facades. Out goes the elaborate plaster work. Functioning windows are leaky and require a more robust HVAC system, so seal them up. And so on.

Of course, if it weren't for the poison of usury at the core of our society, we would be able to use the tools of engineering and new material science to build beautiful things. That does exist in limited instances. But in the vast majority of cases, it is used to suck the soul from our world to serve jewish/capitalist usury.

Which might be related to the fact that mental health "reform" was happening around that time and a ton of "hospitals" were built all over to contain "crazy" people.

Finally, we're starting to get to the bottom of what went on without using the Tartaria theory.

I did some checking:

>When did asylums become extremely common in the USA? The Boom and Overcrowding (1890s–1940s)

>Stone buildings began to lose their popularity as a primary structural material in the late 19th century (specifically the 1880s and 1890s), with the decline accelerating rapidly into the early 20th century.

>The asylum system reached its absolute zenith in 1955. At that time, there were roughly 560,000 patients living in state psychiatric hospitals across the United States.

>How many people's skills for their labor were tied to stone building construction from the 1890s to 1950s? During the 1890s peak, it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. alone, and several million globally, had their labor directly tied to the structural stone industry. By 1950, traditional structural stone building had virtually vanished.

It almost overlaps PERFECTLY.

Okay but most of the mental hospitals built at that time were also works of architectural beauty.

True. Maybe it was one last job?

The final irony: being entombed while alive in a psychiatric hospital built in the style your imprisonment will destroy.
