Alexander Rotmensz

Alexander, from Los Angeles, California, runs a YouTube channel about advocating for classical beauty and urban planning. His most prominent series, “America’s Fallen Cities,” shows the horrific uglification American cities endured as a result of the injection of modernist ugliness following World War II and the advent of urban renewal.

Most Americans are unaware of the full effects of this phenomenon and how much of a role it plays in their daily lives, but once confronted with his knowledge, they never see their country in the same way again. However, Alexander also takes an optimistic approach, with his series “America’s Rising Cities,” showing how some American cities have begun to undo that damage and have started building beautifully again.

He urgently stresses how every American city has the opportunity to restore its lost beauty. Through Beauty and the Faith Holdings, he hopes to do his part in this fight.
