lots of cities in America and Canada had the same thing happen
in some cases it's pretty easy to explain, like due to big fires

top is dangerous, in ruin, hard to maintain, bad isolation, leaky roofs, no space for upgrade, and prone to disaster.
bottom is spacious, heated, good isolation, clean, sturd, space for upgrade, easy to maintain and have evacuation system and security features.
shut the fuck up

we unironically demand 850 billion euros from Germany for turning our cities from 1 to 2
Cameron Williams
these are all lies lmao
even the most basic architecture classes contradict everything you said
Kevin Garcia
Just because it is old doesn't mean it is beautiful. Those are standard old buildings, not worth saving at all.
Daniel Ramirez
idk man, things change
Leo Morales
Don't worry bro we still have many historical buildings intact and in very good condition
Chase Smith
Wey, have you been to Ciudad Juarez? Those motherfuckers like to intentioanally DESTROY 100+ year old buildings to build new "modern" shit buildings based on US american "architecture."
reeeee

desu I must say the 'modern' street is very impressive and quite distinct, you won't see a city that looks like that anywhere in the world, while the first photo could be a generic European city
Jose Gomez
Norteños gonna Norteñear
Angel Ortiz
I see this one every day
Christopher Howard

Landon Carter
No mames. Have you been to Mexico City? Those motherfuckers intentionally destroyed 1000+ year old pyramids for shitty european buildings that were later demolished for more modern and even shittier buildings.
They also dont put cheese to their cheesebreads.

>mfw I'm working on a web app for an architecture firm that uses neural networks to design new buildings
Stay mad fagboys. Y'all have shit taste, the architecture in the top pic is bland as fuck.
Get ready for computer generated architecture. Lmao be sure to aim ypur tears directly into my mug.
Carter Peterson
I know that feel
Mason Flores
Connor Gray
Ok, but there's no need to destroy the old buildings in the process. Better get rid of those 80s and 90s staple skyscrapers
Ayden Richardson
Isaac Hill
Everything ought to be destroyed. If I had my way every building would be a pristine, featureless pyramid.
William Campbell
Jack Morales
Well at least that kind of destruction wasnt intentional.

I mean, it wasnt with aims of demolishing it build something shittier.

Top one is just an average Czech street
Zachary Wood
It's not as bad as it seems, Av. Paulista was once filled with "casarões" but they were private property and were slowly being demolished with time, many still stand though
Aiden Cox
Brazil is ug-... Woah!

what is life like as a young, white professional in a gentrified neighborhood in Sao Paulo?
Julian Powell
Before the war...
Cooper Hughes
...after the war. Hard to imagine this is the same street.
James James
são paulo is fucking shit, i hate it here
Ryan Wilson
Rotterdam before after
Oliver Cooper
But argentina its white
Connor Young

Ethan Smith
but it must be really great to make a lot of money and work on the top of a skyscraper in Avenida Paulista
Robert Wilson
That's true, to be fair
Bentley Mitchell
Not really. Everything is expensive there.
If you live with your parents things can be better

WW2 bad, no shit. The western hemisphere is especially retarded because we did it to ourselves
Jace Lewis
It is, heaven on Earth. Just imagine being a chad executive working in place like this, driving a sports car. Damn life is unfair
Nathan Rivera
Beauty is objective. Ask anyone who hasn't had their mind corrupted by (((academia))) which one is the most beautiful and 99% of the time they'll pick the top pic.
Matthew Taylor
How did we fuck up the world so badly?

Yet another person that is not from São Paulo speaking for us.

It's okayish.
Grayson Collins
Hmm wonder who's behind this post
Cameron Rodriguez
You know when there's a earthquake or any type of distaster, specially in Italy and then entire cities starts to crumble?
That's why.
Evan Kelly
Someone with taste. There's a reason why Italy and spain are the most visited countries on earth. Why all the most famous tourist cities have parts of their old cores or styles preserved. Also, studies confirmed people objectively like old styles and that brutalism, especially, gave people mental health problems
James Morales
Funny, we have entire cities with historical buildings and yet shitholes like Rio de Janeiro are the most visited places in Brazil.
Easton Torres
sure buddy
Caleb Morales
The bombing of Rotterdam was a blessing in disguise for modern architects. They almost all destroyed the remaining old buildings after the bombing so they could build their own shitty 50/60/70s blocks.
They destroyed a big portion of the old medieval city centre of Utrecht to make place for the ugliest shopping mall ever.
They wanted to destroy the old city centre of Amsterdam to build highways where the old canals are now.
Michael Nelson
I'm sure Rome, Florence, Venice, Genoa, Naples, etc are all in in ruins. 2000 year old Pantheon? Destroyed by an earthquake within a decade. Ruins pic related
Jason Roberts
Oh please, only sexpats and beach vacation plebs go to Rio. No one ever comes to see the city. It's a damn shame Brazil does not further restore old towns like that and put in a genuine tourism effort
Aiden Morris
Is that Ouro Preto?
Cameron Sanchez
The post WW2 building boom is proof modernists don't know how to construct cities and have 0 taste. Let us learn from their failures.
Oliver Sullivan
Stop being a faggot. Argentina is a nice place too
Jayden Cox
>It's a damn shame Brazil does not further restore old towns like that and put in a genuine tourism effort
Except they do, last time i went there they were reforming some of the buildings and the church.
Colton Lee
No, it's Serro
Jose Lewis
I don't understand why keeping old buildings intact, other than nostalgia.
They were useful when they were first built and they served their purpose, why not replacing them with newer, more modern and safe buildings better suited for the XXI century?
Embracing the past accomplishes nothing, look at Niggertina, everybody just talks about how great this shithole was 100 years ago while we are defaulting for the 10th time in 10 years.
Luis Clark
why the self hate bro? Buenos Aires is a beautiful place exactly because its old buildings
Gavin Long
It's a disgusting shithole, if you were here what you saw was the same 10 blocks in the center of the city. The rest is a slum.
Nicholas Torres
No we don't. 95% of them were torn down. Even some of the most important.
Hunter Watson
Zona sul and Pinheiros district is where the money's at. Pretty good services and pretty safe overall. I'm from SP so I'm not complaining. Generally the rich live in Jardins and Jardim Europa. Just google it, it's pretty awesome. I'm high middle class, but wish I was rich. The rich have it nice here.
Aaron Howard
Not all of us have made a retarded connection between enjoying beautiful architecture and national failures. Once you have lived surrounded by 30-40 story glass buildings that all look the same, block the sun, and cause wind tunnels you will understand how dehumanizing the experience really is.
Ethan Morris
We do though, BH is filled with them, not all in good condition of course
Joseph Flores
>more modern and safe buildings better suited for the XXI century?
Classical buildings are perfectly maintainable. A civilization must define itself in its urban environment. Anything else is globohomo.
Mason Wright
>old good new bad
Juan White
yes alien
Matthew Garcia
That's not the real city. Belo Horizonte is an ugly agglomeration of buildings like most of Brazilian metropolis. Examples of traditional architecture are just islands in the sea of nude concrete.
Nathan Phillips
Even average cities in the countryside like mine had their heritage destroyed. Very little remains.
That's because Brazilians are unruly monkeys with history.
