@Rayitodesol777 You can tell all that by looking at a few old buildings for a day? That's fucking uncanny!!!

So you think modernist cubes make streets feel human??? Art Nouveau is one of the most organic styles that I'm aware of. It might not be practical in every application like you said but it's still beautiful.

Been there, didn't like it too much. That type of architecture is nice to look at in a book. In reality, it is hard to clean, difficult to maintain, terrible if you need to repair it. And, it makes the street feel so dehumanized. Brussels is a street made literally out of old stones, there are not too many trees, and the streets smell like shit and urine. People are conglomerated and they tend to act neurotic and provoked. They have high rates of alcoholism and anti-depressants in demand.
