Round my way there is lot of development. Houses are being razed and apartments and townhouses going up in their place (almost all chinese companies.)
And they're ugly, oh lord are they ugly. Plus they're look so... flimsy. In another 20 years this place will be a slum but I will be long gone from here by then.
Well, China obviously doesn't know shit about sacred geometry.
They know how to turn our garbage into commercial products to sell back to us. That's about it, along with pork-fried rice.
That's all that I've noticed. You can easily spot the areas built over the last 10-15 years as they are cube shaped and boring looking. I worked at a new home builder and they bought their designs and the different divisions (in different states) picked the ones that they felt would sell in their areas. Most interiors were all the same if you took 5 minutes and compared plans. I bet everyone is outsourcing their design to the same place(s).
