I miss when architecture meant something
amtrak-official answered:
It still does have meaning, I can walk down any street and each building says something about what was prioritized and cared for in the Time it was built.
Damn, kinda depressing to valorize the past at the expense of the present
what if instead of history progressing ever downwards toward contamination and away from purity we discarded the notion of meaning as a manifestation of the will which is temporally locked and doomed to defeat and instead embraced the contingent and transient status of meaning as imposed on a meaningless universe, recreated in our ever new delight at the variety of human experience bro
I hope you see that there is beauty in the past that is not threatened by the present and beauty in the present that is not threatened by the future
Anyway dude I’mma go deepthroat a pantograph
I was trying to say that even buildings in the modern era still have value and character, I think that there is obviously beauty to be seen. I just said it really poorly
