How to Bring Back Beauty to a Confused Modern World | Michael Diamant & Carl Korsnes
The fight for our cities has only just begun. Michael Diamant (founder of New Traditional Architecture on facebook) stresses the importance of being on the offense and not fall for false embraces to keep the movement afloat. The modernists cannot be reformed, they have to be removed.
While studies of the human brain and how human beings react to their environment is a useful argument for the superiority of classical architecture, Diamant warns of "neuroscience architecture" and how it can alienate us from the slightly imperfect but unmatched quality which is the result of building things with our hands.
