How Bad Architecture Ruins Lives

The word “McMansion” has entered the common vernacular. They are ubiquitous in America, representative of an era that appears to be drawing to a close. Increasingly, these are the homes that have been foreclosed on and are sitting empty as monuments to conspicuous consumption and thoughtless, careless, irresponsible building practices. The trailer above is for a documentary that I have not yet seen, but given the prevalence of the story of McMansions these days, do you really need to? I seriously doubt that in 75 years there will be any trace of these homes left to remember them by.

    Generica. :(

    Any more info on the full release? I tried to find it and came across this interesting one as well:

    Not sure if it’s the same or not.

    I’m not coming up with a site for the documentary (oddly), but I believe that the full release is for this fall.
