It's just modernism and postmodernism
they had no money to build beatiful buildings but they really wanted TALL DICKS, so they went for shitty glass boxes instead cause it's cheaper

its not that much cheaper, its mostly built as a status symbol. Also no, its not because they don't have money, building beautiful buildings don't make them money. Well building a neo-modernist eye-sore will, simply because its an eyesore, it will catch people's attention.

meds

it makes cities look dynamic and modern

Do you have any examples of skyscrapers that you like the look of?

some skyscrapers are better than others.

That's because most people are cheap fucks and don't spend on good design. Don't be a cheap fuck, hire Italian architects and you'll get real nice skyscrapers.

Well it has state of the art systems but my guess is the energy consumption is around the same as a regular skyscraper of the same size and system standard. What is more important that his creates high dense urban living (which is actually very eco friendly due to smaller footprint) that doesn't look shit. Like most high rises are fucking awful and this one looks decent enough that people actually do want to live here.

Again, find enough people who want this and are ready to pay the extra gardening fees and you're gold. In this case the demand is so high that the extra expenses are easily justified.

Still ugly tho, maybe if it had more colour, especially in the trims

Sweden is thinking about making floating towns instead since we have a shitload of water.
Gonna suck in the winter kek.

Any building higher than 5 floors is a crime against humanity and anyone involved in building should be publicly executed
