Oy vey don't let the woikers see their culture!
To be fair. Now you can run electrical, and data wires without fucking up the ceiling.
And heating cooling needs a plenum. Lighting, network etc.
It's sad we have to scroll down for an intelligent comment.
Those drop ceilings deaden sound and echos too.
without fucking up the ceiling
No, there were two choices for how to fuck up that ceiling, and they chose one. Replacing all the beauty with sterilized, lifeless, office inanity still fucked it up, even if it was more easily functional.
So I run cat5 in ceilings. Would you rather me screw in anchors for the cable hangers into that plaster?
That would be another way of fucking up the ceiling, sure.
This seems like a tragedy, but if you own an old office building, the cost of repairing and maintaining decorative plasterwork would dwarf the cost of a dropped grid ceiling over time. Not to mention there is a shortage of the skilled craftsmen that could do it right.
You mean Paco and his crew can't maintain it for minimum wage?
paco and his crew do far better than minimum wage, and yet even white owners still don't like to hire whites because the market is cornered by spics: spanish speaking, unemployment insurance , healthcare etc; so we can't hire you because of socialism, but send in some illegals and we are golden. For the longest they (all of those bitches in washington) made it easier to hire wetbacks, and now so many decent jobs have been designated as work for mexicans for no good reason. Go code or push buggies faggots--no middle
(oh, and "the middle" are now all diversity hires with transgender degrees because they take the work for "lower" educated high-educated people--like art majors who couldn't get famous in art but still have all the general education earned in college)
Wow
Paco might be a brilliant plasterworker, but my property manager can do the grid ceiling, and i am paying him anyway.
You ever seen "plaster" done by Paco? They can't even do drywall right.
There's a bank here, it's maintained as a heritage site and used as a wedding venue. ONLY the main room is maintained. The rest of the building is leaking and falling apart and hasn't seen any love in nearly 60 years. Movie productions that come through will repair rooms like the presidents office to use for a scene, but the rest is empty. The elevator is crashed into the basement. The vaults are all empty, except one that holds beer for the weddings. There are slabs of marble there that must cost millions. The main room of the bank is 4 stories tall, all marble, huge glass dome ceiling. Now they can't even keep the lights up there the same fucking colour.
It's a shame. Our countries could have been so much better.

White unity is Right unity!
It was probably falling apart. That drop ceiling not only covered up the cracks, but probably also caught debris as it fell off the aging ceiling. At least they didn't totally rip it out, it is still there for someone in the future if they have the resources and desire to restore it.
This (media.wired.com) is what buildings look like when cost is the only concern. Beautiful, eh?

that doesnt actually look terrible, but then again i thought the old kowloon walled city had a certain charm.
id say knock down walls to convert groups of apartments into condos, put enough space between units that occupants cant disturb their neighbors, rip out a cluster of units every so often in a regular pattern and convert that space into outdoor areas, and maybe put a park or garden in the middle of those buildings(apparently these giant ass blocks have parking lots on the ground floor) and that could be a perfectly suitable complex for white dwelling, plus itd be relatively easy to erect anti-nigger barriers around it.
imo, tower living has much better potential than american levittowns.
The price likely doesnt matter because people tend to destroy or paint over architectural beauty in more mundane buildings regardless.
jews covering up what they can’t demolish
Seen this kind of thing and similar several times. Its tragic. The more recent time ive seen similar was not too far from me at a store.
Every wall and the whole ceiling was part of one giant unique and detailed painting. It was lovely. It looked like the interior of a midieval castle with arches, columns, and it had angels flying about the castle. If I remember right through the arches you could see the verdant world. It was all given a white wash.
It looks like cancer.
Take a guess who is responsible for this cancer. (pic8.co)
What is that even?
It saddens me you don't know what this is. It is a decorative ceiling common in older buildings from a time when beauty and pride were common. It is also an allegory of our once great culture being hidden from us while it is destroyed in secret in front of our eyes.
It's hard to tell from the photo, just looked like a messed up ceiling at first.
I know just a little bit about the move away from pleasant looking buildings, there's a word for it too, though it escapes me at the moment.
Edit: the word is on the tip of my brain and it's really bugging me but it describes the modern building "aesthetic" of everything looking the same and having extreme and boring angles.
Edit2: I think the word I was thinking of was Brutalism or otherwise known as Brutalist Architecture. Everything looks like a bunch of boring boxes. Modern vehicles all look boring as fuck too.
plaster ceiling art
That's beautiful and somehow reassuring.
Our civilization summed up in a single photograph.
So, is that a theatre ceiling or a ballroom? Either way, it was my understanding that in much of the western world the entertainment industry was dominated by the Jewish.
That is an office ceiling. White people made shit nice for no reason other than they could.
You can still see nice stuff if the place was built way back. Some really nice stuff out there that puts the modern world to shame.
