With the burning of Notre Dame, post all examples of European architecture being destroyed for brutalist and (((post modern))) buildings
Architecture Thread
Also fuck Canada
Thats actually fucking sad
there is hope
Is that fuckery made of glass? Why no one tosses a stone to it?
You can't preserve every building. If a building is meant to be a work of art, like a church or museum, then yes save it. But if a building is just the vehicle for containing some feature of the city, like say a train station or town hall, then when the time comes, tear it down and build a modern one. Obviously exceptions should be made on a case by case basis, but there should be a smart balance between preserving old buildings that are effectively non-functional and keeping a city running.
i think its steel mostly. Some jet fuel to it should do the trick
beauty > utility
americans will act like they care about utility over all because they cant create beauty, because most americans are inherently ugly.
before
after
Mcdonalds > good architecture
that's aesthetic fuck off maplekike
>that's aesthetic fuck off maplekike
Birmingham got JUSTed
It's really not. Libeskind's work is fucking awful.
Where is that?
Ah yeah the Wilhelm I Denkmal :( yeah, no way in hell that is getting rebuilt with the faggot Berlin population today. I mean they couldn't even do the Palace correctly.
Essen, Germany
ITT:
>soull
>soulless
They actually wanted to rebuild it, but then some cucks in the Bundestag demanded this fucking thing
That I did not know, that fucking blows, it really fits there perfectly and would look great with the palace… Fucking German leftists man. The screeching over the Garnisonkirche in Potsdam and the tearing down of DDR prefab shit has been audible in Tartu.
You just put the chilling thought in my head of them replacing the Cathedral with a 'modern' church
Maybe even a multicultural church somehow
if it was canada theyed replace it with a condo
Good thing is tha leftist got fucked when they demanded that the cross on top of the building (Stadtschloss) should be canceled
It's comming
The left already screeched when the rebuild the bell music from the Garnisonkirche
It used to be pause theme of the Großdeutscher Rundfunk

The suburbs of Paris are a fine exemple of urbanistic failure. According to the elders I had the opportunity to speak with, it had a bucolic charm now replaced by concrete and ugly towers. Paris is more or less spared bot for how long ?
My city got destroyed in 1940 by our friends, so they decided to not rebuild it in the original style but to change it around. Rotterdam is quite unique for Dutch standards with how the city is designed as a result, countless examples of before/after photos to be found
FUUUUUCK, I'm so goddamn sorry
couldn't that guy fucking walk faster ?
this pic makes me suicidal
lol, have fun here:
verschwundene-bauwerke.de
click on a dot and then scroll over the photo
What happened, happened. Especially now, 2 generations later there are no hard feelings from people you should give a shit about. Don't apologize for something you didn't do. Also i quite like Rotterdam as it is, there is still one old building untouched in the centre which is still a nice touch and the reminder that the city went through a rough time, as is the mentality of the city in the first place.
Oh, we'll put shopping on the first floor ad work/live condos on top, oy! You'll love it Goyim, out! You'll be so happy!
Rotterdam makes me fucking sad as I myself live in a city that got completly destroyed
I wish i could return to our old beauty
fuck, i hope people wake up to whats been stolen from them one day.
what the fuck is that assassins creed shit
>building was designed to become the Museum of African Arts
every single person responsible for this should be hung. if theyre dead their grandchildren should face the crime
why remove the ornaments???
>210072331
The entire dome got demolished after it got damaged in WWII (saving it would've been cheaper).
Too nationalist and monarchist, commies didn't like that.
this never got made
this disgusting piece of shit which ruins the Louvre.
>plans to demolish the station
>fucking leftists and hippies and art students and liberals all decry it as destroying local heritage.
>fiscal conservatives: "muh property rights, muh economic development".
>idiots in charge of cities allow for interstate bypasses and other crap to make it easier to commute from the suburbs, which ended up fucking annihilating their tax base and leading to a spiraling collapse in their ability to fund services (not "welfare", basic services like police, road-repair, fire, emergency services, hospitals, etc..).
My hometown in 1942. Note that many of the buildings were 800 years old.

Germans blew up a thousand year old Kiev Orthodox Cathedral. So I guess it was deserved.
Based capitalism
Ah, the Königsberg treatment
>One of my favorite castles
>I'll never see it
It hurts, Hans.
My hometown today
You wanted capitalism asshole
While current US style is shit. I don't think you euro's can blow your countries the fuck up and then expect uncle sam to pay to repair them. A lot of these buildings come from a time when your countries where broke and recovering from the war
Thanks for sharing this, feels good.
German beautiful architecture comes from the Mediterranean German structures are ugly
My hometown today
this is my hometown destroyed by U.S.A. bombs :)
my hometown today
We need to do something about this.
My hometown was just podunk shithole. Probably had a population of 100 back in the 1800's. Still, the townsfolk managed to erect a giant bronze goddess of FREEDOM in the town square. It was beautiful, even in the grainy black and white photos. However, by the time the government invented paved roads, the statue disappeared from history. Knowing the inbred hicks who hide in the hills these days, when it got taken down to place the roads, it probably got melted into slag, or broken up and used as a door stopper.
Why do people do that? Just destroy testaments to time and history, all because it's no longer convenient?
>start shit get hit.
Shut up leaf, canada is a shithole and toronto is as much of a sewer as dan francisco. The only tolerable place left in ontario is Niagara on the lakes and that too is getting inundated by shitskins
That is straight up a lie. Everyone here on this website knows that Germany and especially Hitler did nothing wrong. Everyone here knows that it is the communists who destroyed everything that has to do with religion, especially the orthodox church. And I know that the german Kaiser and the russian Tsar were good old fashioned european duality like Europe practiced since the old roman republic.
The Holy Roman Empire helped to rebuilt Byzantine resulting in the Russian Empire and the orthodox church. Why would Adolf Hitler destroy something so christian and so roman? Adolf Hitler who adapted the Saluto Romano? Nice try, you little jew, but you will not play your game of deception with me.
The architecture is unique for the Baltic Sea region, it is the architecture of the members of the Hanse (Hanseatic League) like for example Riga, Danzig, Stralsund, Rostock, Königsberg, Hamburg etc.. the wealth and most of the buildings came with the Holy Roman Empire right after the taming of the vikings. The Hanseatic League had a golden age for centuries long.
And you are wrong, because it is beautiful and it stands for the middle class and it is proof for the long tradition of a middle class here in Germany. It is also THE symbol of sailing.
Some lost medieval structures.
This is how most American towns were built traditionally, wtf are you talking about? Jews want white males atomized living in cookie-cutter suburboboxes 7 miles from any sign of human life
At least Konigsberg isn't filled with refugees on Russian rule.
I fucking hate what they've done to this country, I want to kill every kike within a 5 square mile radius you fucking leaf.
Wtf are you talking about?
"During the first half of the 1930s, various Soviet publications questioned the known historical facts regarding the age of the Cathedral. The publications stressed that the medieval building had undergone major reconstructions and that little of the original Byzantine-style cathedral was preserved. This wave of questioning led to the demolition of the monastery and its replacement with a new administrative centre for the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (previously located in the city of Kharkiv)."
God i feel so bad for western europe. My capital city has lucky stayed almost the same since the 1900s
