Evening journey with sad thoughts
It's good when there are places in the city that are completely natural and it's enough to turn in the central part of it, for example, towards the river embankment, so that suddenly you don't seem to be in the city.
Having circled along this road along which giant pyramidal poplars grow, then it is easier to return to the city crowd again with the already standard festive illumination.
For the third year, the main Christmas tree of the city looks like this and this design does not please me at all, because it is done in the same way in many other cities. Some monopolist contractor tempted many city administrations to purchase his standard products. But if they bought it once, now we will see it for more than one year. Previously, local designers came up with something new every time and it was very interesting. And now everything has become boring.
Standardization comes absolutely in everything that concerns the design of urban recreation areas. Without knowing exactly where you are, you might think that in any other city. This applies to parks, beaches, squares and various fairgrounds. Identical benches, track coverings, identical pavilions, attractions, illuminations...
It is clear that it is easier for someone to do this with their city than to come up with something unique for it, which is expensive. In addition, it is very profitable for someone to produce all this on their own conveyors, but cities lose their individuality, and this also affects the consciousness of their residents. Being like everyone else is also very simple. Watch and do as others do.
You are right. A one-size-fits-all look can never be as charming as a perhaps less bombastic one-off. During Advent, here was practised the saving of electricity - lighting was reduced to a minimum. The atmosphere was immediately much duller than usual...
Du hast recht. Ein Einheitslook kann nie so charmant sein wie ein vielleicht weniger bombastisches Unikat. Bei uns wurde In der Adventszeit arg das Strom sparen praktiziert - Beleuchtung auf ein Minimum reduziert. Die Stimmung war gleich viel trister als sonst...
For uniqueness, we will have to go to very small ancient cities. Although, I'm not sure that the hands of designers with standard proets did not reach there either.
Ели это делается, значит это кому-то надо. Не думаю, что это чисто экономические вопросы.
а я думаю, что они чисто-экономические.
это то, что лежит на поверхности.
на поверхности лежит то, что это типа забота о досуге граждан. Псмотри новогоднее оформление всех областных центров и более-менее крупних провинциальных городов. Ты удивишься от невозможности найти пару отличий.
это касается не только оформления праздников. Зайди в любой спальный район крупных городов и скажи сходу, куда ты попала... улица строителей №... или с лёгким паром.
Унификация, стандартизация, стирание различий и индивидуальности, уничтожение следов культурных различий ... ничего не напоминает? Глобализация...
да,здесь спальные районы уже мало чем отличаются от питерских. Разве что этажностью не дотягивают. А так те же архитекторы проектировали. Но вот то, что я увидела в Якутии, у нас тоже есть :). Вот такое больше напрягает.
пичалька, однако
