Imagine spending years working towards an architecture degree only to be tasked with building the same brown/grey block over and over.

[Bikavin]

Need to remember that these architecture still survive to this day and also built centuries ago, imagine without any modern tools, they can build such a masterpiece like this

[alexlivas]

0:23 I actually got goosebumps... I feel so lucky being able to see Parthenon everyday I go outside

[golukinew]

No one gonna talk about how stunning the editing is?

[MAngel-hqhc]

This gives me strength to finish my architecture studies

[zongaaa]

Soviet buildings: depressing concrete cubes
American buildings: soviet buildings with ads on them

[johnnystonks]

I like modern/contemporary achitecture but when it feels alive, not all grey and straght.

But still, past architecture are the most glorious

[jacobgebhart]

In 20 years even new skyscrapers will be torn down to create newer eyesores. In 1, 000 years Roman architecture will still be wonders that inspire awe.

[kyzaghan]

Nowadays, buildings are built with nothing but financial concerns. Back in the day, they were built with passion...

[QuelquunQuiTeVois]

I live in France and I haven’t seen many locals being really impressed by our architecture. Like of course some people will visit The Eiffel Tower/Arc de Triomphe… But every town has its own church/cathedral with a different style, even cities way smaller than Paris, like Rennes, have a lot of different buildings ans I can say I’m never tired of descovering them (checkout Albi’s cathedral if you want to see some real style).

One of the best edited dark age memes out there

[abraruralam]

0:29 l like how their architecture keeps looking cool even when it's turned to ruins. They really were another level of creative.

[mabimabi]

Seriously, why'd we get rid of arches and domes? Like they're so cool wtf

[waterloupe]

Architecture Revivalism needs to become more mainstream

[slimmestjim]

I feel like I've been robbed of cities with old architecture but modern marerials/tools. That would be incredible

[althedude]

European architecture is undefeated. We shaped modern architecture, we shaped so many movements in design, innovation etc,
We are the standard and we are what people long for.

[TTuCbKoTpIc]

As a person from Ukraine, I can totally relate to that feeling of beholding these grey boxes which my country is full of. I pay you my respect for such an outstanding editing

[theoheinrich]

And most of these are Western-style architecture, it doesn't include the breathtaking styles of Chinese, Indian, and many others.

[hahahajg]

Man that vaporwave vibe fits so well, this is more than a meme.

[thatoneguyiii]

Imagine being bested by someone from 2 millennia ago with not even half the resources
