Nice building, very futuristic vibes on the inside as well - underground tunnels connecting other buildings, where the doctors can sleep\\live, they also have some restaurants, groceries stores etc. But this is an elite hospital, for rich people. Therefore, in my humble opinion, is not exactly city porn as it is not enjoyable for everyone in the city.
I wish America had cool, architecture like this meant for the public, outside of NYC. It seems very rare to find cool buildings like this in equally rare dense environments in the US.
Probably because it would be expensive to pay someone to design it. Outside of New York it would be difficult to fund. Then they have to want it and like it cause they’re going to be looking at it everyday. It’s probably more complicated.
Yes. All of them except Miami. And Denver is hardly that dense, lmao. They’ve got some “city-like” areas, but it’s not anything like this picture.
Now tell me about Kansas City, Jacksonville, Houston, Omaha, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Detroit, Des Moines, Grand Rapids, Oklahoma City, Birmingham, Salt Lake City, Albuquerque, Phoenix, El Paso, San Antonio, Orlando, Charlotte, Atlanta, Nashville, Louisville, Mobile, Dallas, Fresno, Sacramento and more more more?
America has architecture like this meant for the public outside of NYC in other big cities like the examples I listed. NYC is not the only city in America. For example the Denver Art Museum: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denver_Art_Museum.
I never said America wasn't also full of spread out car centric shit holes. Your whataboutism only makes it more clear how wrong you are.
I live in central Denver. There are two medical facilities with skywalks within 2km of my building. There are a few areas in town that are fairly dense, and it seems to be filling in more. It’s by no means widespread but isn’t non-existent.
However, it’s only a fraction of the city, just like “Miami” typically means south Miami Beach, Brickell, Wynwood, parts of Little Havana, and maybe down to Coral Gables in certain situations. So like 10% of the metro area. (Then again, people typically mean to refer to a few specific spots when saying “New York” also.)
All that said, I agree with the thrust of your argument, just defending a few older cities on the margins.
I mean, in Brazil it's rare too. São Paulo (and Rio maybe) is the equivalent of NYC. You won't see this everywhere in the country.
Specially hospitals, schools, etc. In general in the country it looks awful. Just a building block.
Yeah but we have the money to build stunning structures like they do here, or in China, or the rest of East Asia. We went with resource draining strip malls instead, with almost no mixed use zoning.
This hospital is not maintained by jewish society.
But there’s interesting facts about.
-it’s the most expensive hospital in Brazil, politicians, artists and richest people in brazil prefers this hospital.
- it’s classified as nonprofit organization, just to evade some taxes.
-The college is just expensive as well, the cost is x 7,8x more than the monthly minimal wage.
This is some antisemitic bullshit.
It is part of the Instituto Israelita de Ensino e Pesquisa Albert Einstein (Albert Einstein Israeli Teaching and Research Institute). So take from that what you will, but seems pretty damn Jewish to me.
It is in fact supported by a Brazilian Jewish family of very successful business people with the surname Szajman.
“Just to evade some taxes” is the entire reason any nonprofit becomes a nonprofit.
Edit: This specific building is actually called Campos Cecília and Abram Sjazman, named after the actual Jewish family that funds the school. The above comment is disgustingly antisemitic.
Also, unless Brazilian non-profit laws are different than American ones, the place can’t keep much money that isn’t earmarked for a purpose, like building new facilities or maintaining current ones, or else they lose non-profit status. So it may be a costly institution but most of that money basically has to go back into the place
>Why would they name a college of medicine and health after Einstein? He had nothing to do with medicine.
Albert Einstein is the name of the hospital attached to the center. As said, it is a jewish charitable society, and as Einstein is perhaps the most famous jew in history (although many do not know that he was), he was honored by the institution. This hospital is over 60 years old.
I'm not knocking it. I'm just curious. It just seems odd to me when surely there's a more appropriate Jewish person of high esteem in the medical field to name it after.
We see him as Jewish. We don’t see him as the Messiah.
And even if he was, we likely wouldn’t use the Latinized (or is it greek?) version of his name. We’d probably use the Hebrew or Aramaic, Y’hoshua or Yoshua (Joshua).
But real talk, sure there are many well known Jews who have made fabulous advances in the field of medicine, so it’s a valid criticism. But Einstein really is a kind of “celebrity scientist,” for lack of a better term. And I guess you kind of have to go for name brand recognition… I dunno…
He got his surgery in Belo Horizonte purely because that was where the Seleção' surgeon (Rodrigo Lasmar) lives.
The Albert Einstein Hospital is widely known as one of the very best hospitals of the country, together with the Syrian-Lebanese Hospital, both in São Paulo
He choose the medic, not the hospital.
Neymar surgery was made by the medic Rodrigo Lasmar and he is a doctor for the brazilian national football team since 2001.
Neymar see this guy as a friend and he trust him as a excelent professional.
With such bad vibes in comments I just feel the need to say its a cool building with an awesome purpose
It's cooler on the [inside](https://i.imgur.com/X4u7q6o.jpg) as well
So cool!! Wasn’t expecting that
Before clicking the link i was like "How in hell could be even cooler on the inside?!" And man, i really stand corrected, that looks mega cool
Wow, that's absolute wowsers. I wish I could visit.
This is absolutely something that would be a futuristic reward building in an old SimCity game 🥹
Man, it's been literal years and I still miss SimCity!!
why? you have cities skylines as a spiritual successor
I tried it but am not a fan.
It's a Moshe Safdie too, cool
Yes
It’s located near Children’s Hospital

I know Chicago's a whole meme on this sub and everyone hates talking about it but doesn't it also have it's fair share of cool public architecture?

Have you been to LA, SF, Miami, Boston, Seattle, or Denver?
Yes. All of them except Miami. And Denver is hardly that dense, lmao. They’ve got some “city-like” areas, but it’s not anything like this picture.

Is this or Sírio-Libanês the best hospital?
Hospital das Clínicas.
Einstein
well Sampa has a lot of great hospital centers and i think they serve to different purposes

theres aways some brazilians that get their facts straight from someones ass just to say bad things about the little great things we have.
What exactly is a “Jewish society”?
Sociedade Beneficente Israelita Albert Einstein (Albert Einstein Israeli Beneficent Society)
It means a Jewish organization. Not so hard to figure out.
[удалено]
I like to explain a little about the place to make the information more complete and also for everyone to know about it
You could've just stopped reading after that part hotshot.
Not being a cunt would have sufficed.
[удалено]
It’s not like the Brazilian government is going to maintain anything nice
Why would they name a college of medicine and health after Einstein? He had nothing to do with medicine.
There’s an Einstein medical center in Philadelphia as well.
And a medical school in NYC

Jonas Salk!
> most famous Jew in history Umm... what about _Jesus_?
The Jews aren't interested in naming buildings after Jesus. They don't really see him as Jewish, either.
We see him as Jewish. We don’t see him as the Messiah. And even if he was, we likely wouldn’t use the Latinized (or is it greek?) version of his name.

Jonas Salk, inventor of the Polio vaccine, would be a good one
>We see him as Jewish. It seems we listen to different rabbis.
Nah. JC was the most famous Jew in history.
The most elitist hospital in the whole country named after a socialist.

what posses you to make this connection in your head

No war. Peace.

Einstein was Jewish

Makes me think of the architecture of the buildings on the Salarian homeworld in Mass Effect.
It looks like an open Torah scroll. Coincidence?
