Lyon knows that feel too
Here's a qt comfy village to compensate
Meant for the ugly tower
It's a pretty JUST tier tower, but it's gotten better in recent times as it gradually gets more company.
I don't really want it to get more company tbf
It doesn't look that bad at night tho
If you like it, I'm happy for you:-)
Eh, it's far enough away from the historical stuff. If Paris can, Lyon can too. Just need to make it seem more natural, and only way to accomplish that is building a few more towers.
Well most cities look cool at night anyway, but yeah Lyon is very nice in that aspect since you have lots of places to get a good view
Luckily the 300km of tunnels under Paris prevent from building to high in the middle of the city

why doesn't America have buildings that take up the street. There's just something so clean about it.
What's the best style of gothic
...
Brabantse gotiek according to me, but I really like the gothic style of north-Italy either.
How to into architecture?
...
Venetian
...
Styles as in regional variants? I guess English Gothic if so. It's massive, brutal and imposing, though I guess France and much of Southern Europe in general has the most ornately beautiful examples.
>Paris sure is copypasted.
I'll go with the first one, the French one
A bit biased but it's honestly my favorite
...
Whachu' mean, senpai?
Just go with the flow, find something you like, read about it, find something similar, keep reading about it, idk lol.

rip bread
This building makes no attempt at being anything other than mass human storage, the modernist tower block revived for the bubble epoch. It will likely be a financial failure for being too ambitious while being too redundant. If I were to take an apartment there, it would be impossible for me to tell which window is mine from the outside. What does this say about the people who built it? That they took the easiest path to financial income. What does this say about the people who will live there? That they have nowhere else to go. It is and will remain an alien in the neighborhood, a product that removes identity instead of contributing to it.
