#39: Little Boxes
Modern-day apartment buildings all look the same. You know the apartment buildings we’re talking about. Those high-rise apartment complexes with generic gray paint and geometric architecture that have popped up everywhere these last few years. There is something about them that is so generically bland that it makes any city skyline look boring.
This infuriating design comes from one of those boring, modern apartment high-rises. The design of these apartment patios is absolutely dystopian. There is a tiny concrete patio on one side and a fake “door” that is blocked off by a metal railing. If residents want to sit out on their tiny patio, they have to look into their neighbor’s apartment. How idyllic. Apparently, the building developers couldn’t have created patios that faced outward, giving people some sunshine and a view.
