I like modern architecture, I was born in the wrong country
Noah Jenkins
I like modern architecture too, but yeah, Europe can't compete with Asia. Modern architecture here is mostly trash.
Kevin Sullivan
Too bad because I think it looks great when next to historical buildings
Evan Sanchez
Here I mostly disagree, I think it can be disruptive when in combination with historic architecture. Although I think some examples are cool.
Jonathan Fisher
It has to be sensible I think. But I like when it integrates with the rest of the city
This is my uni
Anthony Perez
Yeah, it needs to actually form some kind of symbiosis. I think Libeskind is a good architect, but his extensions to historic buildings are terrible.
Carson Brown
This almost never happens but I think pic related is a nice example
Gabriel Mitchell
every building that isn't brutalist should be demolished immediately

Nice, Art Nouveau is great

How about some of Le Corbusier's works :^)

Shit taste
Elijah Stewart
No offense. It kinda looks like a favela.

Asia (particularly Japan and China) has horrible architecture.
Mason Diaz
Any modern architechture is horrible.

Looks like shit

The building was built in 1400 and is symetrical unlike a mcmansion.
>calls urban dwelling that is the result of hundreds of years of building, modifications and application of different architectural styles a fucking favela
Art isn't objective, Olivier. If something's a shit in one persons eye its still gonna be a shit for him 50 years from now. (I'm not saying its a shit, though). I appriciate the history but it looks like a favelo to me.

The Pope's Palace in Avignon
I love the mix of roman, religious, military and even gothic architectures

we don't have any

Albi cathedral
A rare case of meridional gothic architecture, also designed as a fortress since it was built after he albigensian crusade, once the king of france annexed the territory.
It's also remarkable as it's humbly decorated on the outside. The cathar heresy led the soutwestern french clergy to be more humble.
It's also believed to be the largest brick building in the world
Juan Bennett
Samuel Turner
It's a wonderful Renaissance city. Maybe the pic led you astray.
Tyler Bailey
Our "new" town hall
Carson Rodriguez
The interior contains stained class windows of all important European countries.
Asher Garcia
Charles Nelson
Ahh, it looks better from the ground. Very cozy, too.
Grayson Watson
Some Indo-Dutch architecture
Grayson Ward
Yeah it's very comfy
Elijah Nguyen
Nice, I like eclectic colonial architecture
Zachary Young
a malaria pool in the middle of the town? that's smart
Noah Stewart
Nathan Martin
It's a town like Venice
Connor Perez
Lovely
Jack Gutierrez
Like an ancient airship

Levi Peterson
Good symmetry, rocky texture.
Maybe roof and color of front door is a bit off.
9/10
Messy, lacks symmetry. No balance. Crashing colors.
2/10
Too many lines, gives it a jarring look.
Glass overdone, gives it a boring and uncreative look.
1/10
I love natural textures like wood and stone. All houses have differences, but follow a similar theme.
Glass skyscraper in the background ruins it with it's boring look.
A bit too plain. Lacks detail work. Gives it a depressive look.
Too many square forms.
Maybe the minimalist look would work in a sci-fi movie like bladerunner, but no one wants to live and surround themselves in that space.
Jayden Garcia
its a win
Jaxson Hill
What if it rains or the tide comes in? Do they build the city anew every week?
Cooper Reyes

Hanseatic cities are always nice. My favourite is Lübeck
Christian Martin
Robert Cook
Jackson Clark
Thank you. Bandung would have become the new capital of the Dutch Indies and this building was part of the project.
Noah Gutierrez
Does Oslo have more of these? I thought most of the late 19th century architecture was demolished there.
Jack Flores
John Flores
>Hanseatic cities are always nice.
Not really.
Jace Turner
You know what i mean.
John Morris
Ryan Richardson
that looks good, it's more sci-fi than the typical modern glass building
Samuel Adams
It's pretty weird but I like it
Julian Watson
Belgian architecture
Ryder Garcia
München
Hunter Nguyen
Amsterdam
William Martin
How do they do in Venice? It's the same.
Thomas Martinez
Amsterdam future business district
Hudson Ross
who wants a balcony in a skyscraper? The view is other fucking skyscrapers. Is it so that you can smoke weed at home?
Dylan Morgan
Yeah, who doesn't want to watch all the airplanes passing by?
Samuel Smith
>A bit too plain. Lacks detail work. Gives it a depressive look.
Comacchio (pronounced Comakkio) IS depressing. That's why visitors love it. It's an ancient little town of fishermen built on the water, and the bridge I posted is one of the most complex structures ever made. It has 2 towers, 5 big stairways and it's built upon the confluence of 4 canals.
The town is beautiful, has a beautiful cathedral and colourful houses.
>Too many square forms.
You don't say? It's a typical Venetian villa, there are hundreds of them in norhern Italy and architects used to vary the framework and the decorations every time.
>Maybe the minimalist look would work in a sci-fi movie like bladerunner, but no one wants to live and surround themselves in that space.
It's a cemetery and the red building was designed by Aldo Rossi.

reminds me of some doom or 2000's multiplayer map somehow
Nicholas Miller
my shitty city, pretty boring but i still love it.
Nathaniel Sanchez
It's really nice user, I'd love to walk in that garden
Owen Sanchez
I promise to myself not to post anything i this thread (mostly because i don't have nothing to share), but this picture caught my attention.
Well done Sweden.
Julian Cox
Its a restoration to one of the old fascades the hotel had. Plenty of building got demoloshed and stripped during the 50s-70s to look like this. It was trendy and "sleek"
Jayden Smith
wish we had nice architecture, all our cities are ugly as fuck with shitty planning
Tyler Wood
Easton Green
examples? I think we beat you in uglyness.
Xavier Ross
My city used to have tons of colonial builds but nowadays a lot of them are gone or in ruins.
Dominic Nelson
Late reply, but yes. Karl Johans gate (the main "boulevard"), is pretty much all cobblestone and pre-modernist buildings. The rest of the core city centre is more diverse, with many historic buildings mixed in with modern ones. But most of Oslo is still older in style, it's just less so than other European capitals I suppose.
Mason Richardson
That's sad. Was it bombed or did you hit yourselfs in the face like we did?
Christian Fisher
Camden Ortiz
Dumb planning, an obsession with being progressive, and some remorse because many pre-war buildings were drawn by German architects. That doubled with the fact that Oslo was a "new" and small city compared to Copenhagen and Stockholm, so modernist architects didn't see its history as equally valuable. Some buildings weren't even demolished, they were just re-clad in a horrible manner, like pic related.
Ethan Smith
Literally what happened with Gothenbug. Filled with modern architechture and striopped facades.
Google klara kvarteren to see the saddest thing in city planning history iun this country. All of stockholm would look like this if it wasn't for protests.
This pic could be done with alot of building, though. So lets hope people create demand for it.
Luke Price
Dylan Jackson
Even if that is the point, dosent mean I can't dislike it...
And I mostly dislike it from a "I wouldn't want to live there"-point of view.
Jordan Watson
Oh yeah, that's where those high-rises are. Really a shame. And yeah, the good thing about re-clad buildings is that they can go back, and a few already have. It's worse with the ones that are forever lost.
Ayden Wilson
Yeah that one is fucked
Asher White
It's okay, user. I can understand it's very different from your average nordic town.
I also wouldn't live there, because the water is quite a challenge and nothing ever happens. But going there every once in a while, to enjoy the heavenlike mood, the silence, or a simple broiled eel with lemon, is priceless.
John Taylor
Here's a good before and after instagram account if you're looking to cringe: instagram.com
He even did a couple from Göteborg somewhere in there
Lincoln Myers
it's not "modern", it's cheap brutalism
