this is so terrible and i love it lol
this type of thing is actually pretty common in russia and many other post soviet countries where bandits in the 90s earned a ton of money in various illegal ways and then decided to design themselves a “beautiful” apartment, the result most of the time a horrendously looking everything golden / a la Louis IV style and other war crimes of design
now thinking about it, this one isn’t really that bad to be honest lol
Interesting! Any links for further reading?
I’m personally interested in building design, both in terms of functionality and sustainability and in terms of how badly someone can mess it up.
ok so i did a little search and unfortunately nothing decent came up in english, but here’s an article that provides a basic overview of the phenomenon which is quite fascinating to me personally if you dig into it (unfortunately article is only in russian), here’s the same article translated using google translate, but yandex translate is usually better when it comes translating from russian, but for some reason with this particular page it only translates part of it for me (whatever)
most of these people never had functionality and sustainability in mind so you can’t exactly say they “ruined” these aspects, but these apartments are pretty non-functional and unsustainable nonetheless
or was this just a separate statement not related to instances of people messing the aforementioned aspects up?
I love this so much. These are the “graphic design is my passion” of houses.
