A classic example function over form. The amount of people that can be housed here is a lot more than some american suburban nightmare

also its form is good, it looks nice. Americans can only think in terms of their individual house, never the whole picture of where everyone lives.

Can’t say I agree, it really is not particularly aesthetically appealing imo. But that doesn’t matter lmao, what matters is that can efficiently house thousands upon thousands of people and ensure that there is actually living space left in the city and that everything is within reasonable distance.

I live in the suburbs where the individual homes look nicer, but I have to walk 20 minutes to even get to the next bus station. Fuck that.

Yeah, sure, I want my towers neo-gothic with heaps of bits on them too, but in terms of Neo-Brutalism/Late-Futurism this is well balanced and composed, as well as being quite livable.

kind of proved what I said, your individual house looks better but the whole block of suburban fake lawns probably looks like shit from a distance
