Europe has the best architecture in the world by far, but why are their skyscrapers and new developments so ugly?
For example London, they destroy historical buildings to build ugly things like the dildo or the walkie tokie.
In pic Torre Velasca in Milan, Italy. Horrible.

Montparnasse Tower in Paris, totally out of the place.

>skyscrapers and new developments so ugly
Skyscrapers and new developments are generally ugly. Architecture is dead. Art is dead. If you have a reserve of historical buildings, then you should do your best to save it. Because it isn't coming back.

Atheist architecture is soulless

Luis Edwards
they're not new, the ugly stuff is usually from the '60s
Austin Wilson
torre velasca is actually pretty cool, in style with the greyness of milan
John Butler

Not really, even alhambra is an architecturally European monument since
1. The muslims heavily copied Rome
2. These places have been modified and built upon up to the point that it's nowhere near it's original islamic state
Europe generally has a very broad range of architectural styles, there list is much larger than Islamic architecture(a lot of which just copies Europe).

Looks like a giant dildo

No, they're built on top of 60s/70s garbage. Central London was bombed heavily in the war.
Jaxon Wood
This pretty much. New buildings don't usually look very good. Occasionally there will be exceptions but for the most part they're pretty bland or plain ugly
Jose Anderson
don't you even dare, Velasca cannot be touched
Grayson King
This one is pretty funny. There were supposed to be many more towers, but when they built this one, people freaked out about how out of place it looks. So they didn't build the rest, and as a result it looks out of place, because there are no other towers around it. lol
Bentley Adams
btw its about to get a redesign, still going to be an eyesore but there is going to be gardens and shit so maybe a little bit better.metropolismag.com
Gabriel Jones
btw they're renovating it, making it look lighter among other things (but not as light as in the concept renderings, because glass doesn't work like that)

Liam Harris
After the World War II many western countries tried to turn their cities in copies of New York City. But after they saw the result the desisted lol
This building in pic for example is in the middle of Mexico City's historic center!
Dylan Ward
design something nice and people won't dislike it
Oliver Wood
That's actually a pretty nice example of what a glass building actually looks like. Compared to renders like this where they want you to think that the building is made from some kind of bioluminescent shell. Glass walls end up looking more like some kind of blue metal, unless you're looking from just the right angle at the right time
Dominic Hughes
obviously a symbol of the blackening of europe
disgusting
Hunter Butler
Moscow has good designs tho

Most people i know like new buildings.

Fuck off the Velasca is KINO
Adam Perez
Velasca in animu
Bentley Bailey
I actually really like this type of brutalist style, if it's a large district. If it's just one building thrown somewhere, it looks really bad and out of place, but as a larger area it's cool
Mason Kelly
this building is so fucking good it's absurd
god bless the italians
David Richardson
there are better pictures of firenze m8

post some OC ffs

Lol, bow in front of your masters
Grayson Diaz
Do you really like Torre Velasca? I found it very ugly, something that you could find in Mozambique or North Korea.
Anthony Gray
where in the world aren't new developments fugly?
Kevin Carter
*blocks your path*
Michael Sullivan
*looks cool inside and out and is objectively the greatest symphony hall in the world*
heh.. nichts persönliches, kind
fucking expensive tho
Christopher Hall
I appreciate your pun, user, even if no one else does.
Dylan Johnson
Sky scrapers only look great grouped together. A single one just sticks out.
Leo Harris
this
Nolan James
this. they let raddison make a tower here in hamburg and it's fucking ugly. should be demolished
Xavier Carter
It's better they didn't put anymore of those shit. They would still look out of place
Liam Brown
Yeah this is something I've actually started thinking about as of late. They recently built a highrise here and it looks super bad, but then I started looking at different highrise pictures and noticed that almost all of them look kinda ugly. But if there's a lot of them next to each other, you don't really focus on any particular one
Aiden Butler
kind of how like one spot is a wart but many are freckles
Jonathan Martinez
looks like a building where niggers and subhuman druggies and illegals would live, like the palermo's zen or the velas of naples
Joshua Wilson
it isn't terrible, plus port areas don't shine for good architecture anyway, mostly hipster bait and loft apartments from recycled industrial sites
now if someones posts that giant black tumor from austria placed in the middle of the central town...i think it was a museum or a uni
