Archäologie (DLXVIII) : TRUMPAUTOMAT & TRUMPITECTURE
Das (ungeschnittene) Original bei Mocho.
No disgusting 'p*ssy' comments here! Stattdessen der Hinweis: Designmäßig passt der f***in' Automat gut ins Trump Village
... das wiederum gut hierzu passt:
[.... You won’t know Berlin until you visited the Berlin Plattenbau of Marzahn or Hellersdorf.]
Was danach kam, war auch nicht besser - hier wie dort! -, nur glänzender:
…it might be interesting to take a look at whether the Trump real estate empire reflects some correlation between the craziness and the architecture. (via The Kurtz Graphic Design Co. website and blog)
- "Trumpitecture stands as a sad but honest reflection of the values Trump proudly embodies"
The garish and self-indulgent buildings developed by Republican candidate Donald Trump reveal a lot about how he would run America if elected president tomorrow, says US architect Doug Staker in this Opinion column. (dezeen | 7 November 2016)
- ... Trump likes it big. At least one Trump Tower dreamed of being the tallest building in the world, an aspiration that in today's world has more to do with testosterone than taste. Like trying to land your country on the moon decades after this feat was first accomplished, in the modern era this pursuit strikes a bit more of self aggrandisement than of progress. But worse, it is an attempt to appear to accomplish something remarkable by copying a feat that might have been truly remarkable in a past era.
Trumpitecture does not know timing. It does not know its own era but clings to easy symbols of might. Perhaps they had a time, but that time has long passed. In contrast to the best known early victor in the tallest building race, the Empire State Building, Trumpitecture leaves little as a treasure for posterity, a monument to its own era, or an icon for a city. Trumpitecture leaves a legacy for one thing: Trump...
- ... As the former New York Times architecture critic Herbert Muschamp put it, Trump’s towers “don’t quite register as architecture” but instead stand as “signs of money, status, power” like the “diamonds, furs, yachts and other tokens of the deluxe life enjoyed in Marbella”. What Muschamp found objectionable about Trump’s taste was not the “desire for attention, for the best, the most, the tallest, the most eye-catching” but “his failure to realise these desires creatively in the architectural medium”. For the king of superlatives, nothing has ever turned out quite as “tremendous” as he promised.
His first Manhattan project, completed in 1980, set the tone, taking the ailing Commodore hotel, a handsome brick and limestone building from 1919, and entombing it inside a shell of mirrored glass. It spawned the Trump style of wrapping standard buildings in paper-thin party costumes of chrome, bronze or gold depending on the occasion, and adorning them with sparkly signifiers of glitz and glamour.
Just like his policies, Trump’s real estate projects are often characterised by bold claims that don’t quite stand up – beginning with their height. He famously inflates the floor numbers of his buildings: the “90-storey” Trump World has 72 floors, while apartments in Trump Tower begin at “floor 30”, despite there being just 19 commercial storeys below them. “People are very happy,” he has said, openly proud of his marketing ruse. “They like to have apartments that have height, the psychology of it.” ..

Möglicherweise wohnt ja auch die die Lumpenbourgeoisie im falschen Stockwerk!
