Revivalist Quotes "Put usefulness first, and you lose it; put beauty first, and what you do will be useful forever" - Roger Scruton
"Architecture has its political Use; public Buildings being the Ornament of a Country; it establishes a Nation, draws People and Commerce; makes the People love their native Country, which Passion is the Original of all great Actions in a Common-wealth.... Architecture aims at Eternity" - Christopher Wren
"Beauty matters. It's not just a subjective thing, but a universal need of human beings. If we ignore this need we find ourselves in a spiritual desert." - - Roger Scruton
"Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire." - Gustav Mahler
"Styles may change, details may come and go, but the broad demands of aesthetic judgement are permanent." - Roger Scruton
Why Beauty Matters Brilliant documentary by the late, great Sir Roger Scruton called Why Beauty Matters. Highly recommended viewing for anyone interested in architectural revival.

Hello everyone! Would you like a new banner and profile pic for the sub, or do you like the one we have now?
All up to you. We had this one for a while and I wondered if you'd like something new. You can submit new suggestions for photos, and I can change it to the one that get the most votes.

Why does this sub has so many German Nationalists in it?
Whenever a photo of a city in northern or western Poland is posted here, there’s plenty of highly upvoted comments saying how it’s actually a German city and changing its Polish or English name to German one. It’s especially bad if we consider the fact that what lead to those territorial changes was WW2.
To give a comparison it is as if someone posted a picture of Vilnius or Lviv and the comments would be filled with people saying that it’s a Polish city and that it’s Wilno/Lwów.
