It's funny that the "zomg beautiful traditional architecture is so much better than dreary modernism" guys are all enamored with the American far right, whose aesthetic and land use preferences would make every building in the country look like an Amazon Fulfillment Center
For all the talk about the blandness of 5-over-1s and gentrifier coffee shops very little attention or scrutiny is given the biggest bastion of American modern architectural philistinism: exurban megachurches
@mtsw hey I did my M Arch thesis project about megachurches and I wrote about them in an architectural journal called Manifest a few years ago. The title was “God is in the Lack of Details”
