Or is there indeed a way to build beautiful buildings affordably? In this video, we do a deep dive into what drives building costs from a first-principles approach, from design elements like symmetry to added elements like ornament. We also look at the cost of modernist architecture, and we answer some deeper questions: even if we would spend more on a building, would that be worth it? Find out all about it in this video!
