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.

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?
