Excellent. Another huge advance for Western civilization. Architects have become full of themselves and are too busy making idiotic philosophical "statements" instead of designing buildings pleasing to the eye and harmonious with existing stuff.
Of course, Postmodernism is an influence, resulting in "architects who saw themselves as dedicated to social engineering rather than the mere creation of beautiful trifles."
Fuck esthetics; we will create edifices fit for a Marxist utopia:
Eisenman is a well-known “starchitect” whose projects are inspired by the deconstructive philosophy of Jacques Derrida, and whose forms are intentionally chaotic and grating. Eisenman took his duty to create “disharmony” seriously: one Eisenman-designed house so departed from the normal concept of a house that its owners actually wrote an entire book about the difficulties they experienced trying to live in it.
Leftist academic shitheads ruin EVERYTHING! They are turning our world into a living Hell.
And somehow it all goes back to the postmodern idea that nothing is absolute, nothing is innate, everything should be deconstructed and perverted and subverted.
Ask yourself: if you were satanic, like literally evil incarnate, what surface-level ideal would accomplish your goal of destroying Christian civilization without tipping your hat?
I was getting an inkling while looking at these that there's more than a little note of intentional anti-aestheticism, much the same as you find in woke remakes of games where pretty female characters are replaced with fat old hags. Building an otherwise unremarkable glass block while incorporating a stupid looking bulge or an asymmetrical spar or pointless tilt, all seems to fall under the same impulse where overpaid pseud (and commie) designers attempt to deconstruct the nature of everything. 'For my next design, I will help you realise your notions of conventional beauty are totally, like, meaningless overbearing constructs of traditional power structure - just like the building itself!' It's an anti-life perspective, gutlessly masquerading as positivity and vibrancy.

Demons have always been people.
