I fucking HATE you fucking NIGGERS that defend modern architecture. You're all full of shit. Those anons defending beauty and traditional libraries -- thank you. It is good to know that there are still sane people in this world.
I normally just lurk, but the amount of utter modernist brainrot in the thread really set me off.
It's first-year architecture student wannabes like yourselves that completely and utterly lack the aesthetic, intellectual, and humanistic depth to comprehend the basic elementary notion that it is NOT that "Form Follows Function" or even that "Function Follows Form", but rather "Form IS Function".
A good library must lift up the human spirit; it must stir the enigmatic sense in Man; it must connect him to the long and storied tradition of our noble race going back thousands upon thousands of years and make him cognizant of his role in its continuation; it is a space for the mind as well as the body, and it must serve to showcase the majesty and dignity and soulfulness of the literary and civilizational project of the past 5000 years.
To do that it MUST be beautiful; it MUST be enigmatic; it MUST be traditional. Modernist shitty concrete boxes do none of that, and whether it's 0.001% more economically efficient (in either a capitalist or communist system) to make them is so far beyond the point that all of you showcase your total lack of intellectual or moral hygiene in whining about it.
Beauty has a function all of its own and it cannot be ignored, you fucking niggers. Jesus Christ. Is this really what we've come to? People defending slop-pop books in slop-pop boxes over the traditional beauty that even the most ignorant and untutored of children can recognize in an old library? Are you all fucking braindead?
Libraries are spaces for books. For learning. For Truth and Beauty. Not for fucking corposlop -- what the actual fuck is wrong with you?
