I hate starchitects I hate starchitects I hate starchitects you are designing a building for living people in a society not making an artistic statement about the size of your dick noone gives a shit that your steel girders are inverted on the facade which makes the glass evoke a more organic pattern no one sees this they see yet another glass-steel facade of a big ugly boring building you are not a unique genius you will not overturn the worlds concept of beauty especially not since you're doing the same as everyone else but you think you're not talk to people around you and accept the basic fact that the building doesnt belong to you I hate starchitects I hate starchitects I hate starchitects
This rant is brought to you by "If you're project lead on a new city block, but all you care about is that it's pretty, why don't you go play with Legos and allow me to worry about things like 'will these 2000 new people need more plumbing than what we've implemented for an industrial neighborhood' and 'when we place your stupid fucking big blocks that you think are innovative because you dared to make the roofs colourful, do you think that maybe the literal sand under your castles might sink a bit and we're at risk of flooding?' featuring hits like 'Im begging you please talk to one person who has trouble walking before you decide to surround all your buildings with a curb', 'if you're not going to make public transport available at least fix the road you're planning to add 2000 more travellers to, add a dedicated bike lane I'm begging you, yes I know its fine right now, but theres not 2000 people using it every day' and of course the all time great 'reverse gentrification isn't a thing you stupid motherfucker, please read any book on the subject I hate you die'" industries.
I'm begging you please if you're going to make a "family neighbourhood" ask yourself questions like "do kids go to school?" and "do people need groceries?"
Just like retail workers should be allowed to kill one customer per year, urban planners should be allowed to execute one architect with a machete every year
