I'm having a really hard time vibing with neo-traditionalist architecture discourse. Like, I like beauty, but I just find the thing on the left much more beautiful than the thing on the right.

Am I... missing something? https://i.imgur.com/Cqm1D2g.jpg

people who romanticize the right side probably never had to grow up there. 

for me it stems from disliking toxic religious traditionalism when growing up in Eastern Europe. modernity gives me more hope of a world created by people with less oppressive values, one where it’s okay to be yourself and to think different

To some a Sistine Chapel is a symbol of Christian oppression, to a lot of folks it’s a fine display of mastery of arts and craft.

You can appreciate the beauty of traditional architecture without attaching symbolism to it.
