The first thing we were told when studying music theory was that yes, music can be bad. There are objective criteria to beauty whether we like it or not. Deconstructing classic beauty makes sense as a statement, so if it's a provocative painting in a museum, people might like it, but they won't want to live in or around it all the time.
There's more about this attitude of beauty that you describe I find irritating and hypocritical. They claim that taste in art is not objective, but subjective, and yet they make a claim that what they create is better than what was before. So if something can be judged to be better or worse, then that means that it's not subjective. Also, if Beauty and Ugliness are only subjective, why do we have concepts for both words, and I think it likely the concept is in every modern language, if not all languages.
There is a lot to learn about classical and traditional architecture, even till this day, it bothers and saddens me that nothing is teached in most of architecture schools about past architecture styles except for history. Classical architecture works and is made for the human proportion. Not everyone can design something "beautiful" with the modern concept, that's why the objective beauty of architecture should be the fundamental of design rather than experimentation way that modern or contemporary design teaches.
The elites all wax lyrical with lilting voices and classic poses - finger on lip thinking. Large black framed glasses are repositioned as an animated arm clothed in black signals the powerful intelligentsia to the next oracle of Bauhaus. The mouth above the polo neck opens and the group - await on tip-toe expectation - like Klimt's choir of angels. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Suddenly the glass door opens, and a woman turns their heads. The prophet, surprised and annoyed at the interruption, demands, "Who are you and what do you want?" The young woman replies, " I am Beauty and I want not."
I wished channels like these weren't so hyper-focused on western architecture. It's always the greek/roman inspired stuff and never for example indian or east asian traditional architecture
Dear Red, The purpose of this film is to criticize the ugliness of Modern architecture which was a revolt against traditional Western architecture. To do this it was necessary to highlight how bad Modern is and why Traditional is beautiful. In this narration, East Asian and Indian architecture are not involved in this struggle and so are left out.
I dont think that Europe is in the same cultural mindset. Modernist art is controlled by elitists that won't allow recognition of the past in anyway other then how bad it was. It will become a disaster not even worth thinking about where challenging western ideas of beauty will become the obsession and it will inevitably become temples of multiculturalism aimed at challenging the past. I know exactly the mindset of the artistic elitists. That's the only way theyll allow neoclassical architecture again. So I would prefer modern architecture that projects an indifference or dislike of the past

yes, good point !
although I think 20th century mainly said they are "morally" advanced / better
@@SebastianvonThaden You're right, they do that, too. And in both cases they're wrong.

i hate modern architecture so much... more than any other things on the globe.
Then what do you want to do about it?

Yeah projecting a blanket indifference or dislike for the past is healthy 😂.
