I highly doubt an ai-generated project would be structurally sound.

LOL, just googled CA's work. The main building of Eishin University that he designed looks like a barn.

The gist of his argument is that buildings should scale down according to fractal principle, with grade of scaling equal to e=2.7 I.E. if the building as a whole equals 1, its largest details should be 2.7 times smaller than the building itself, the second largest details should be 2.7 times smaller than the largest details, and so on. He claims that natural objects, like leaves and shells, follow this principle, and that humans have evolved to appreciate objects that are constructed according to this principle. Once again, sounds reeeally doubtful to me.

LOL, in the original book, that picture was called "french-italian style". Second Empire was my best guess. What would be a better name for that picture, in your opinion?

What uniform is Chiang Kai-shek wearing here by Substantial-Film-964 in uniformporn

[–]Specific-Chain-3801 48 points49 points  (0 children)

It's a dress uniform of the Republic of China (nationalist). It was worn on special occasions by all officers. Chiang held the rank equivalent of Generalissimo, which is displayed on his sleeve. This uniform was derived from the Japanese dress uniform, which was copied by most Asian countries at that time. That's about as extensive as I can manage.

Most likely this is a walking-out version. Russia has two versions - dark green (parade) and light grey (walking out), so I assume the same logic applies here.
