Well, the Sagrada Familia and the Köln Cathedral have both been under construction for the past few decades. So we have the capability to build cool things.

I feel like amateur armchair architects bitching about modern architectural choices (which are largely driven by the cost to build and return hurdles needed to finance said buildings) are a similar breed to folks who browse Zillow to criticize the design choices of houses they can’t afford.

The reason why most truly shocking architectural feats are religious buildings is specifically because money is less of an obstacle for those entities.

Look up how many labor lawsuits they had…lots of shady shite involving trade workers from India and not paying them a dollar. Indians took a page out of the Saudi playbook but did it to their own

It looks like something made out of LEGOs and I'm scared I'm going to have an epileptic seizure if I try to walk around inside. I'm not epileptic.

Not as ornate but watched this one get built in an older area of Atlanta kinda near Stone Mountain.



Meanwhile up the road, a former hellfire missle plant turned into megachurch.

They put the “e” at the end of CrossPointe. That’s how you know it’s upscale.

Of course the second comment is some racist saying “I can smell it from here.”

It’s often argued we can’t have beautiful buildings anymore because of cost. This is a work of art made of limestone and marble. It’s should be a crime for the modern crap built today.
