Love the architecture in this part of Shenzhen. Looks very futuristic, without trying too hard.
Nathaniel Cook
That's the power of Aussie shitposting clogging up the catalog.
Jack Parker
Shenzhen is absolutely awesome, shame it lacks good photographs though still we've had like 5 or more consecutive threads its good

Im glad that Chongqing won over Santiago.

Montreal, 2025. Most of the towers are centred around the sports stadium and main train stations.
Blake Phillips
>No supertalls because muh mountain
Cooper Ward
In my mind, the downtown core will be filled out with towers about as high as Place ville marie and then an enlightened mayor will take the helm and lift the ban. LA used to be pegged to the City hall clock tower and look what it did. Its just nonsensical to limit building height, Hong Kong looks marvelous with the moutains behind it.
Josiah Hernandez
Even Hong Kong is height restricted in relation to its hills.

Santiago shouldn't even be included over Mexico imo
Logan Mitchell
I don't see why not. Even in Europe, there are plenty cities that surpass it. It's too scattered around to even be called a proper skyline, except for the tiny main CBD.
At least Santiago has some continuity, despite not being the biggest.
Parker Reyes
I even unironically prefer Bogota to Mexico City.

Mexico City has a terrible skyline and is a complete mess, but is still a beautiful city
Nathaniel Clark
That I won't argue with. Mexico as a whole has some of the prettiest cities in the Americas, despite them being a bit rundown.

Now is my chance to post some buildings from Bisbee, AZ.
Asher Davis
A boomtown that died off in the late 1920s, It has some interesting buildings.

The sorta famous copper queen hotel is on the left. It's difficult to get a good picture of it unless you stand on the highway above the canyon
Thomas Perry
The art deco courthouse building is pretty cool
Hunter Bailey
hello
Grayson Russell
Gives me spaghetti-western vibes. Not from the architecture, but more of the layout and surroundings. Very quintessential retro American.
Neat

Isaiah Gonzalez
It would be a lot better if it wasn't full of hippie artists and not 100 miles from anything else
Ryder Perry
Meico City has so much potential, wish our authorities got their shit together
Juan Harris
Is that like the Mexican central park
Lincoln Gonzalez
yeah but it's actually more than twice as big, we could get a second huge ass park in the middle of the city depending on what's done to the current airport after we finish building a new one
Easton Walker
>WHAT WENT WRONG? I guess most of the posters got bored
after all we have only like 4 regular posters
Angel Allen
Traditional architecture of what country you like the most? If you can't choose one just tell your favourites.
Nicholas Thomas
None, really. I mean, there are too many countries in the world with each their styles, making it hard to choose just one.
Same with buildings, there are just too many. But 90% of the things I post in these threads are things I like, so take that as you will.
Evan Scott
I like Italy and France the most, other countries simply don't have that much top tier architecture
Korea and Japan for exotic shit
Brayden Morris
Fossilfags need to leave. The future is now!
Zachary Wood
honestly i prefer modernfags because some of them actually appreciate both modern and traditional architecture, and they don't sperg out
fossilfags constantly sperg out about muh evil ugly skyscrapers and shit
Andrew White
I've noticed this trend too. Many of them probably come from Sup Forums too.
Elijah Edwards
...
Wyatt Roberts
I guess they think modern architecture promotes multiculturalism or something
Cooper Rogers
They are prolly the same kind of people who post in Sup Forums "art" threads some random pictures of battles and ships and jerk each other off how this le classy and only non degenerate art.
Joseph Clark
Kek, probably. It also seems like they exclusively love European architecture and think everything else is subhuman, which I've seen quite a few times when presenting Asian architecture or otherwise.
muh white superiority
Daniel Cox
Yeah, they're also the ones that call anything modern "soulless".
Joseph Wood
>Kek, probably. It also seems like they exclusively love European architecture and think everything else is subhuman, which I've seen quite a few times when presenting Asian architecture or otherwise. yes that's just sad
I even think these people aren't even legitimately interested in architecture, they don't know much about it(or nothing at all) but they post because muh traditional white architecture is da best
this Swede from last night legitly triggered me desu
like he wasn't even posting any top tier architecture himself
Nolan Hernandez
>They are prolly the same kind of people who post in Sup Forums "art" threads some random pictures of battles and ships and jerk each other off how this le classy and only non degenerate art. "random" is the key word here
because it's not like they are even actually interested in it, they are just posting it because muh white supremacy
Aiden Garcia
Come on man, everyone knows only Europe has history!!1
But yeah. I think people like that just want a quick circlejerk around their butifel local European architecture, just to leave afterwards.
People who actually truly like architecture will eventually show up here regardless what their main preference leans towards. Like that britbong who thinks skyscrapers are useless would at least often contribute and come in for proper discussion, despite his main preference being in traditional architecture, and that's fine. He was a quality poster about it.
Leo Gonzalez
>Come on man, everyone knows only Europe has history!!1 there are people who actually think like this, and not only "Sup Forumstards" the true is a lot of exclusively Sup Forums posters are like this aswell, like ask people on Sup Forums what do they think about China and it's history - they'd say it's all basically worthless because they got "cucked", they are poor, soulless etc.
A lot of people even think half of the "white race" - Slavs and others Eastern Europeans are worthless aswell
Zachary Wilson
To be fair, Sup Forums is heavy on Sup Forums influence, so it will even affect people who've never touched the latter. It's really ridiculous. I mean, it's fine in a meme context, but it's sad when people start actually thinking like that.
But I digress. Maybe it's all just a big bamboozle, and we fell right into their trap.
Carson Ortiz
>To be fair, Sup Forums is heavy on Sup Forums influence true, but most of Sup Forumselligents will say they hate Sup Forums and only edgy underages go there while they browse a board largely similar to it

What do you think of contemporary architecture?

Nathaniel Ramirez
Pretty broad term, but I naturally like new architecture granted it's good and all.
Matthew Diaz
This looks okay. This not so much. Kind of funny looking but not an eyesore.
It's pretty hit or miss in most cases.
Ian Smith
Yeah, there's a lot going on nowadays all over the world.
I think we could still talk about what contemporary architects have been doing the last few years. La Biennale has just finished and Aravena has brought up some pretty interesting points about architecture's impact on society.

That is an amazing shot. Best view point of the whole skyline IMO. with Canton tower there in the center.
Jack Martin
Yeah, it really makes all the difference when it becomes the centerpiece of the skyline. Shame the view is so rare.
Justin Kelly
oh not ded?
Daniel Perez
Nice redevelopment going up in Fredrikstad City, featuring the notorious Neo-Nordic style (not its actual name, though I can't think of anything else to call it)
Nicholas Ramirez
It will include narrow streets and a comfy small square
Hunter Ortiz
This Oslo tower (which has been in planning hell for 8 years now) is also getting its height upped from 110 to 125m, and a possible redesign, though no renders of that yet.
Gabriel Kelly
I think I saw ones like that in Germany/Poland too
They are nice nevertheless
modern architects really should try more materials than glass/steel/concrete
Elijah Allen
>redesign but it looks good as it is
also
>125m haha
LOW

Luis Scott
Kek, anything over 60m is treated like a fucking supertall. Shit's ridiculous.
A 125m tower is almost unthinkable to most.

all new buoldings are built in wood here, I'll take some pictures of the ones built last year if I go outside
