432 Park Avenue cost $1.25b. For 125 condos. Pretty sure they would have had room in that $100m-per-condo budget for SOME ornaments, mass produced or not. I think we embraced this particularly soulless brand of modernism because people are fucking idiots.pic.twitter.com/J46KN5ozOA

Of course, the costs don't stop there, which suggests that maybe there are some more things that fell along the wayside, apart from ornamentation.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/03/realestate/luxury-high-rise-432-park.html …

Ornaments tacked on for the sake of ornamentation: potentially kitsch, yes. Ornaments tacked on because it's how people who are at the height of their craft display that they have time to make something that is useful also beautiful: Definitely not kitsch.

The "modern" alternative seems to be "sterile art gallery above the clouds", which is not really food for your soul either.pic.twitter.com/YLhrZtyn0S
