“Architecture is frozen music” - Goethe
Architecture and music are both are inspired by what’s inside.
If you wonder why both are so bad today, look inside & look around.

The bottom four also say, “5 generations of your bloodline are buried in the foundations, so keep working or I’ll tell God to send you to hell.”
A powerful and profound burden to bear
I find the architecture arguments dumb. The reason why they were making amazing buildings was because that was the tip of their technological advancement. Buildings became a boring engineering problem to edge engineers.
Our human very tip of advancement is on chip silicone, it's marvelous just like a cathedral was back then https://youtu.be/5Ge2RcvDlgw?feature=shared
Cute.
But that approach has downsides.
“Pure engineering” lacks soul and art.
It’s important there is a non-economic and non-engineering approach for the things we can touch, see and taste.
Nah look at where the people actually lived in the past, not the palaces of the kings or the churches of the privileged. Show the shanties and the caves.
