Who the heck denies traditional architecture? My friends were studying architecture along side me in college, they have tons of studies on classical architecture.

Heck I know about classical building methods, styles and the economics behind them and I’m not even an architect.

And I was not even born in the west.

Like, I don’t expect a neophyte architect to use methods that can build houses only up to 3 stories based on stonework.

They need to use drywall and construction methods unique to their locality.

But there’s thousands of other and file architects, and thousands more who make insane and wonderful things, along with professors who …

Dear heavens, What happened on your journey?

Besides - there’s always place for new and interesting, if rebellion is your go to motif - have at it.

Modern itself was a rebellion against older forms and thinking.

It is a well-known fact that 99% of architecture schools are about making students follow a particular set of tastes we call “modernism” - an ideology that states that buildings need to be innovative, that traditional methods should be neglected. It favors minimalist forms, neglects art forms like ornament, idealizes the “genius architect”, and favors “modern” materials like concrete.

If you don’t follow this stream, more often than not you will get bad grades or fail tests.

Some people said “architecture is not about education, it is about entering a cult”.
