Best trad buildings of 2023: Build like THIS again – David Brussat
It is past time for my annual roundup of best buildings from 2023. I confess, the time blew right past me. Maybe it is not too late now, but I am too busy (and lazy) to wrap it all up again for last year. Instead, I offer a video that should help to promote a best-building culture around the world. Once you’ve viewed it you will thank me for not inflicting on you another year of “best trad.” The video is from the the online platform The Aesthetic City, and is entitled “Build Like This Again?,” produced and narrated by Ruben Hanssen, founder of the platform. Click on this link.
If you can find the online magazine again (I could not), you can read an interview Hanssen gives at the bottom. The one before it is excellent as well. All of this springs, in some way, from Michael Diamant and his New Traditional Buildings blog, and Nir Buras and his Classic Planning Institute, which is listed under “Other Initiatives.” There is much of value to read in this online magazine. If you can find it.
Enjoy. And enjoy your year, even without “Best Buildings of 2023.”
