Post the best looking, comfiest and most aesthetic architecture from your nation.
Bonus points for architecture from where near you live or from your own city.
Pic related is Trinity Uniting Protestant Church in Perth, Australia. It looks so comfy and snug between skyscrapers.
This building is boring, not useful and there are always druggies out the front. I hate that we aren't allowed to knock down shit buildings just because they are "old". Perth is NOT an old European city and we shouldn't pretend to be one.
You have to understand Australias idea of an extremely old building is like 150years, just pathetic
Well I disagree, I love historical houses. Whilst Perth may be old we can still live through our history. Also half the reason there’s always druggies there is because they run a soup kitchen for em. Better in church than out on the street atleast. What’s your idea of good architecture then?
St. Albert Place, St. Albert
our town hall/library/arts centre
comfy to be in, but not too much going on much of the time, even for a small town
>Perth is NOT an old European city and we shouldn't pretend to be one.
>Instead let's try to have our city centre look like literally every other Western city centre with a population above 1 million - glass and steel skyscrapers, everywhere (it's progress, you hick)
I love American middle upper class suburban houses, reminds me of 80s-90s direct to tv family movies.
Pic related is the Aussie equivalent of an upper middle class house I got off google earth.
It looks so warm and cozy amid the snow. I’ve always wanted to visit Canada and touch real snow. Some mates have gone skiing and said it’s a great place.
Thanks for backing me up Kiwibro, care to share some comfy NZ scenery? Your countries natural aesthetics are bloody amazing.
calle Paris, Santiago
Chile looks pretty cool, do you guys have much of a pre-European influence on your architecture or is it mostly Spanish based?
yep, in the 20's was a lot of European influence brought by rich families
I wouldn't say the ones he posted are upper middle class, that's more a cookie cutter subdivision. Pic related is more upper middle class.
I wish we had streets like that in the US. We have some old world looking buildings like pic related but the feel of cities and neighborhoods is nothing like Europe.
I love Australian houses of all kinds
Australia is the best country on Earth
i always liked Polish suburbs, they aren't as ordnung as suburbs in Germany or the US, but this Slavic mess makes it look more soulful
How wealthy are the people who live in suburbs like that? What kinds of jobs do they usually have?
>How wealthy are the people who live in suburbs like that?
You're middle class here if you make like $1000/month net here, especially in small towns like that in >What kinds of jobs do they usually have?
It depends what jobs are in the city/town they live in. In big cities it's mostly office jobs, in small towns - factory jobs, mining jobs, public administration jobs, homeworking or commuting to the nearest big city if it's close enough.
The central square of my home city, named after my grandfather's uncle. Looks kinda comfy but maybe I'm just used to it.
Yeah I understand what you mean. The house I posted wasn’t technically what I would call an upper middle class Australian house, but it’s elevated to that status because of the property values and the fact that it’s close to the beach.
Aww thanks polebro. I would post my own house but I don’t trust people on Jow Forums lol. Here’s another house near mine tho.
RARE FLAG
Also noice cosy grass huts.
do these houses have all modern amenities and people live there or it's just kind of an open-air museum?
I dunno what to post, I have quite a bunch of old architecture here.
Where abouts in the UK is this from?
Is that architecture tsarist, Stalinist, Soviet or modern Russian? Just askin because they all look pretty cool and wanna see more of it. Only bad Russian Architecture I’ve seen is the mass built Soviet tenements.
that neighborhood looks pretty nice
looks really comfy
that's a cool street
I love this :)
Seems like it's from near Whitby in the north.
What do you think of our European Colonial Streets?
Mostly tsarist, two modern and one stalinist.
>hut
that's a farm, on the left is the living house, the rest is food storage and sheds.
Don't know about that specific one, but most old houses have people living in them with all modern technology attached.
>pic
house from around year 1000, one of the oldest wooden houses in the world, still inhabited.
Also this too.
What’s small island life like? What’s your occupation?
Or even more stalinist, Im not sure..
aesthetic and clean, I like it
I can dumb down your buildings to brick and cement too but that's stupid. You have zero vision for the future so you look backwards
Same as everywhere else, just less people and stronger community, I guess.
>What’s your occupation?
I cannot say. There are two other locals on here, don't want them to know who I am.
So wait, what’s your argument? Are you suggesting we all just live in uniform commie shit tenant blocks because it’s functional?
Functionality plays a part but in terms of aesthetic, old != good and brainlets keep falling into the trap of thinking otherwise.
>stop showing old architecture because I think europeans will bully me for no culture
You're the pathetic one
/comfy/ af
here is my neighbourhood
Doesn't get comfier than a log cabin.
>Bonus points for architecture from where near you live
Nice try CIA.
fuck thats really weird ive only been in Perth for an afternoon. For some reason i could instantly tell the building was in Perth
we used to have the Garden Palace, but that burnt down
I like these, I wish more were built
Fuck I'm retarded I didn't post the image
Wouldn't that be super hard to maintain
completely ruined by modern day roof and chimney
so nice, I want to be there
Press F for melbourne coffee palace
Anyone else like country town Australia aesthetic?
History is still history nigga, so stop being such a faggot and appreciate what you have left of nice architecture.
Besides, most of the historical-looking buildings in Europe were built less than 200 years ago, and you don't see us trying to be China. It's kept around because it looks good, and keeps up a general aesthetic.
more houses please I wanna see where people actually live
I like ballarat, well the architecture anyway
New Norcia, the only Church town in Australia. Founded by a Spanish monk.
Malaga's main commercial street with the Christmas lights
Cheers for backing me up user, I love old building especially local ones. Here’s a pic of the WA Supreme Court Gardens, has a comfy British Imperial vibe.
On a side note, gotta say I love old Norwegian churches tho, they look so comfy.
how could I forget old Parliament House?
I don't live anywhere close, but i took a holiday to Quebec a while back and spent a couple days in "old" Quebec
I even walked down same street as pic related
One of the comfiest places, especially later in the day, and good skylines as well, considering the old buildings on top of the hill
Great views, historic sites, a boatload of old architecture and history, but most importantly great food
shame that the funicular ends up in a couple of cool shots but great nonetheless
some more
wait image pls
of course, snow generally makes everything better
that's how houses here look like
modern architecture and urban planning was a mistake
Modern Perth building for contrast
New Orleans is probably your closest bet, even if it looks more like a Spanish colonial city akin to what you'd find in South America or the Philippines. San Francisco also looks pretty "European" in certain places, doesn't it?
the dream of most Hungarians is to have their own summer house around the lake in the back
the Maritimes are also pretty good though
File name
Posting some Oslo
Locally it's surely our medieval town wall.
If that counts as architecture.
