That was oddly depressing. I feel bad for the poor clockwork birdies, uprooted from their traditional country homes and forced to live in tenement housing in the big city.

Honestly, I kind of like it! However, I feel like the bird should be less cheerful, more resigned to its’ lot in life.

That’s what the opioids soma is for.

They should be whimsical, but they just remind me of Grenfell Tower

When deployed as a purely decorative element, that actively conceals the structure and structurally relevant materials(under the heavy influence of a historical architectural aesthetic no less), isn’t it closer to being super bleak Rococo than to being brutalist?
