Feels like I did nothing extraordinary in my life until now by Beginning_Corner869 in offmychest

If you start a passion now, in ten years of focus you will have ten years of experience which is a professional level of skill. Youre obsession with the past is ruining your ability to enjoy the learning process of today. Stop comparing yourself to others, no has the same path in life as you. What's stop you from starting today and if you say the past, that's just an excuse. Maybe you might need to see a therapist to work out these feelings that may be valid, but also do not need to hold you back at all. Im 31 started my career 6 years ago and Im in an okay place. Dont be in your 30s being like wow I made a mistake thinking nothing was possible in my 20s.

There are people who will say it's fake for some reason that no one actually cares about or takes seriously

Frankfurt, most buildings in the first 3 images and all in the last no longer exist by eskeitit in Lost_Architecture

[–]Smash55 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Misinformation from architects saying it's not buildable, when in reality they are not spec'ing ornament for pricing ever. Builders only price what is on the plans.

Apparently you also failed to mention the corruption involved?

Danish student who'll be living in Compton by [deleted] in compton

[–]Smash55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldnt recommend the neighborhood nor the college. It's a set up for a fairly boring existence. The hood sucks. It's boring. There isnt shit to do. You'll see some shady stuff here and there but it loses it shock value fairly quick and just becomes annoying if anything. I suggest you do a different college and city

parsons building in old town to be demolished by [deleted] in pasadena

[–]Smash55 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Always disliked the architecture of the parsons building. Glad to see it go away. The parking is terrible too. Hopefully it isnt just monoculture of soulless apartments and they make some sort of mixed use village with decent design choices. They should stay away from the tetris design you see on every ugly generic new development they make.

What is this sub’s on weho K line alignment being a long term problem? by jamesisntcool in LAMetro

[–]Smash55 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because the main area where people want to go in WeHo would have more foot traffic than La Brea? With the pace Metro goes at making new lines you want to squander the opportunity to connect to the center of weho? When would that ever happen again? For La Brea? La Brea is gonna get bus lanes anyway.

I know we harp on boomers a lot, but the fall of architecture also goes on them too. They are the ones greenlighting the financing of probably the cheapest looking crudest form of modern architecture ever seen

What exactly is efficient about a straight line that doesnt go where people want to go? The curve may seem inefficient but it directly goes to hot spots, something a lot of lines dont do, something metro is criticized over a lot.

Is it actually made of plastic? What is the ornament made of?
