Reject modernity embrace tradition.

Postmodern architecture, with its emphasis on fragmentation, deconstruction, and disorientation, has been criticized for its tendency to dehumanize inhabitants. One notable aspect of this critique is its departure from the principles of classical architecture, which traditionally aimed to uplift and inspire. Postmodern structures often prioritize novelty over human comfort and functionality, leading to environments that can feel alienating or disconnected.

In the context of communism, architectural projects often served ideological agendas rather than the needs of the populace. For instance, grandiose monuments and imposing government buildings were erected to assert state power and control. Studies such as “The Politics of Urban Memory: Regime Transition and the Destruction of Lenin Monuments in Ukraine” by Serhiy Kudelia and Olga Onuch have examined the impact of architectural symbols on collective memory and identity.

Experts like Fredric Jameson, a prominent cultural critic, have explored the dehumanizing effects of postmodern architecture in works such as “Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism.” Additionally, architectural theorists like Rem Koolhaas have commented on the disorienting nature of contemporary urban landscapes in works like “Delirious New York: A Retroactive Manifesto for Manhattan.”

Historically, beautiful art and architecture have indeed been used to inspire populations.

“Architecture made by human hands is the purest expression of the society that produced it”

This underscores the power of aesthetics in shaping collective beliefs and behaviors.
