Why do all thing need to look like these soulless glass metal and concrete blobs. Like bruh, why not build something cool lime a Roman Temple, European Castle, Viking Longhouse, Ancient Chinese Pagoda ...

Those would be far more expensive to produce, needing specific skilled craftsmen. Not that glass production is easy, but compared to hand-carved wood and stone the labor hours alone is a staggering difference.

I think glass metal and concrete blobs are cool.

highly skilled labor shortage and time. eventually ai architects will 3D print incredible stuff that is completely unmaintainable.

These are done by architects rather than designers. Usefulness isn’t a consideration, only form and aesthetics matter.
