This Twitter Account Sparks Discussions About The Importance Of Aesthetics In Everyday Objects

When I play those city-building games online, I tend to prioritize building stuff that will provide the greatest utility. I give way to buildings that give coins, resources, anything. Decorations don’t have a place in my empire because they don’t generate anything, they’re just wasting space and resources. The Twitter account The Cultural Tutor pointed out that that thinking also exists in the designing of real-life cities. In a series of tweets, it explained that beauty becomes more and more sacrificed for the sake of functionality. He lamented the simplification of things to preserve their function, losing their aesthetic value in the process. Below, you’ll find the interesting discussion by The Cultural Tutor and some Twitter users. More info: Twitter | CulturalTutor.com
