Architecture

Architecture appears in the wiki chiefly as a question of beauty and civic ambition. In a saved thread, David Perell opens with “The architecture of World’s Fairs was something to behold. What happened to this spirit of beauty?” and argues that the fairs “guided the future”: the thread notes that one in four Americans attended the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, and that Walt Disney wanted Disneyland to feel like a World’s Fair. The related pages include architectural history (A Global History of Architecture, Life in the English Country House) and critique (From Bauhaus to Our House).
