British industrialization.

WTF does this have to do with politics?

Materials used to be expensive but the labor was cheap, thus you used to see very ornate buildings. Now the material is cheap but labor is expensive so things are plain. End of thread.

that thread again.....
wonder who and where those trolls meet before starting the thread and all posting in it
I know PJW is implied
reminder: if you're not French or Italian you'd better not talk about aesthetics

cost

and also stupidity. the architecture department in the university at Belfast Northern ireland is housed int eh ugliest building in belfast - it won an award... I hope that every student walking into every day says "I will never make a building this ugly" - a true lesson in architecture

This is Buenos Aires, right?
I love this building.

Marxists jews.

How do you recognise a foundation myth? It fulfils three functions. 1)It explains the origin and structure of the world (and society). 2)It defines ultimate good and evil (and from those definitions are derived the values that are used to justify the holding of power). 3)It determines what is held sacred in that society. For modern Westerners the story of WWII has become their foundation myth. It fulfils all three functions. 1)We live in the ‘Post-War World’. The lines on the map, the institutions, the sense of what era we live in, all arise from the starting point of WWII. 2)Ultimate evil is Nazis. Ultimate good is opposing Nazis. The values derived from these definitions are anti-racism, equality, diversity, anti-nationalism and so on. 3)The only thing that is held sacred, that cannot be denied or mocked in the contemporary West, is the Holocaust. The problem is that all three functions are backwards or negative. Instead of the origin event being one of fertility and new life, it was a conflagration of death and destruction. Instead of ultimate good taking the central position in the story that slot is occupied by ultimate evil. Everyone knows that Adolf Hitler, the personification of evil, holds the centre point of the WWII story. Instead of that which is held sacred being something mysterious and sublime it (the Holocaust) is an obscenity. Having a negative foundation myth means the tree of life for Westerners is poisoned.

Semites
They have always been shit at it and it's one of (their) professions. Also unique architecture can vreate a sense of national pride its much better to tear it all done and build boxes for the goyim to live in.

>if you're not french you better not talk about aesthetics
> French, creator of brutalism
T-thanks

when you have all young people waste their vital energy masturbating to porn, what do you think will happen?

it is demoralization of society idiot

People wanted buildings built in months/years not decades.

the quality of wood in most places is horrible compared to what it used to be

>if you're not French

On a nos cons aussi

OP's building is ugly and tacky as fuck. so it wouldn't be demoralizing to me to tear it the fuck down

the jews happened

>cost
Nice try. Now reveal your big nose and your (((contemporary architecture))) diploma

>american buildings

Knowledge of the golden ratio and the perfect constants of number used historically in great architecture and many other fields, has been intentionally ((repressed)). It is considered dangerous knowledge for the masses to commonly make use of as it would quite quickly destroy global monopolies should the common man be fluent in its principles. This is the guiding directive of all ((masonic)) elites, to conceal and preserve the knowledge of the ancients and use it as a goad to herd the common man as ignorant cattle.

They're doing an exceptionally shitty job of it then.

It's really just there to shield the burgers not for looks, they'll stick it inside any hospital or retail store that accepts them. People are stupid, so they'll spend like $8 at McDonald's for what costs $6 at a place that'll make that shit fresh and is only a block away, and usually it's just because they want to stick with what they know, for some reason want a 5 minute burger, or I don't know. I just always thought microwavable foods were about the same quality. McDonald's would be HUGE if they sold their stuff in freezer aisles. People would buy that shit up quickly. On the flip side, if HotPockets had their own drive thru then you'd bet that people would be lining up. Also I just think it's such a waste of money. I'm craving a Big Mac right now, so I'm not saying it's awful tasting. Just that I like it like I like a Hot Pocket, but I would easily spend my money on something better if I can. We did this to ourselves.

Run down strip malls like this are all over the place. Then you'll see a fresh strip mall near by that isn't closed down.

You know when things are shit when you hit the gritty strip mall areas. Yeah they all can be convenient: hungry? Get your shitty Subway. Or get your other sub place that rented it out. Or a restaurant that rented out the strip mall. Plenty of grocers. Your local DMV. Get your hair cut.

It goes on and on, but it doesn't justify much of it. You put so many cheap businesses together that attract the lowest and you attract crime. A lot of shit people will be in the area at the same time. Some will apply to these shitty stores and get jobs, and want to live closer to it. Some are attracted to the mega apartment complexes that are built nearby to attract these poor people.

It's fucking horrible, and that's reality. Not just everyday life or just regular suburban life, it's what's going on and what people are accepting. This shit spreads. Neighborhoods go to shit, are DIVERSIFIED

i never understood it. You have million other burger joints that are million times better

temporary architecture like this is a blight, the developer and everyone to subsequently own or rent the property should have to pay into an account either every sale or annually to ultimately cover the cost of tearing it down and clearing out the parking lot as these usually end up being abandoned or owned by some public agency

These are kinda alright. I'm seeing more of them in wealthier areas. They're strip malls, but they're more compact or split into two or more buildings. Seems focused on restaurants as well. Still a strip mall, and the ones built in my town really haven't done much to fix things.

I've been called a hipster for bashing Taco Bell. I've eaten a shitton of this fast food and I would binge on it if I wanted to binge on food, but I don't support that shit anymore.

Don't worry, soon enough we'll have plenty more nigger rich gaudy buildings when the muslims take over. Then we'll finally realize that the most based architecture is commie block concrete bunkers. For obvious reasons.

Carve a fucking recycling symbol into her head, like the end of Inglorious Bastards

5 years to finish construction.

I unironically believe that building looks epic. My only problem is that the dome is a bit too plain

...

Unironically capitalism and the globalism that followed.

Brutalist architecture > all

It looks like the same postmodernist trash we have today but instead of glass and plastic they went with more drab concrete

...

>me grug see wheel go fast

That's 'modernist'
Brutalist is some stupid name that some bongs gave to the concrete sarcophagus style photoed here
I think brutalism is awesome, but it tends to suck for maintenance

*blocks your path*

*teleports behind you*

...

THAT BUILDING IS AWFUL AND YOU KNOW IT ARGENFAG

comunism and modernism
the worst things humanity has created

also carpet bombing

...

Shit, they still make some of those ? Not all hope is lost ?

yes pic was build in 2016 in chicago

...

>overpopulation reduces quality of life
who would have thought

You genuingly made my day brighter, thanks Hans

I gonna make you even happier

That's fucking incredible thanks.
Modernism really is a mental illness

I live in Dresden, after the bombing, modernism has destroyed this city

verschwundene-bauwerke.de/

These are being built near the central area of my neighborhood in Florida.
There's also some other respectable projects happening in the area.

Certainly shocking for me, because I'm used to trashy American cookie-cutter architecture they've been building for decades.

I want those too
We get cubes with long, thin windows

He happened

OP is argentinian that building, is The Palacio de Aguas Corrientes, is such a shame that the other building alongside are really ugly

That shit is a shame. Stay strong brother and may God help you. You guys are the best of us.

I'll definitly have look, thanks

>di trasmigratori

never thought italian fascists were this woke

France can be home to the finest things, as it can be home of the worst heresies.
It's schyzophrenia on a national scale.

we alredy reconstruct some buildings like pic, but most of the new buildings are shit

>verschwundene-bauwerke.de/ is a site where you can see how diffrent places of dresden changed after 70 years

To be fair, it was a (((global effort))), but this book is very good, it's more about the ideology behind cancerous architecture, a must read.

Pic related is the ugliest piece of shit i have ever seen - a church in switzerland.

>church

It's a shame. Whenever I would get on the tram from Löbtau, I would be amazed by the preserved buildings on the outskirts. There were some pretty incredible homes dated to the late 1800s in Loschwitz, but then you leave the area and you're confronted again by commie blocks and modernist architecture.
Very depressing.
But at least Dresden is 100x more beautiful than what most Americans have to look at every day.

disgusting

I managed to see Sweden before the country went Nordic Mad Max. Dunno where to travel next. Coming from the states and actually touching history is kind of a zen feeling.

maybe but i miss the old dresden so much

...

...

...

...

Ah, I didn't mean Loschwitz. It's beautiful as well, but I saw some more stunning architecture around the edge of the zoo. I believe it might have been in Strehlen or such, and some others towards the north. Either way, it's neighborhoods like those that anger me for the way things turned out in WWII and the Germany that was destroyed, both culturally and architecturally.

...

there is still a well preserved part of the city, the äußere neustadt with those high-densty pre-war houses, but it's infested with leftist

why does this remind me of pic?

i remember this is a french suburb

Wot is that image?

soviet

DO IT AGAIN

>bio brainlet
more soviet

Sorry ;_;

strehlen and loschwitz are well preserved as well, but the vast majoity of bombed parts of the city were high-densty residental blocks
why ?
they weren't factorys, they were civilian houses and the military camp in the north only suffered minor damage

(((Post-Modernism))) another in a long series to demoralize the goy. another in a long series to turn everyone in to culture-less nihilists. I've always thought if i was one of these billionaires industry type guys, I'd commission buildings such as these again.
Make Architecture Great Again.

Its missing a (((soul))) somehow

I dont know, just cannot fake it I guess

Kink stopped filming there last year.

1. Fuck you
2. this colonge this is the most gay city in germany, I agree on doing it again on colonge

Everyone ITT is off the mark.
It's a simple case of survivorship bias, only the very finest examples from any given era are kept standing, the rest are demolished and replaced every couple of generations. By 2500 99% of our buildings will have been replaced and people will be looking back at the current time as an example of fine taste, just as we are doing now.

Post modernist marxists invading universities and the arts

Cultural maxism rules the west since the end of ww2

open the way for chad japs

You mean the area that is all tagged up with spray-paint from the demented leftists that have no respect for anything?

this is muinch, marienplatz

yes, exactly

...

I used to think it was just cheaper to make modern buildings than recreate the complex designs of the past.

It's not.

Jews happened
