This really looks like average japanese building

...

At least the health science, conway and science center look good. This newman building is ugly as fuck.

...

>brutalism
>ugly

Time to kick some nu-male ass

...

Brutalism is shit.

I love these. For once, I agree with the strayan The rest of the buildings posted so far really look like trash, though.

>modernist architecture is bad because it doesn't account for my bourgeois special snowflake complex
why do rich people always get buttmad when encountered with the fact that modernism can offer a better standard of living to poor people? is it because it makes rich people less exceptional?

>not liking brutalism

the building on the left is actually being demolished right now, a new one, more in line with the surrounding architecture will be erected in its place

every building is ugly here.

...

...

...

Goldfinger's towers are absolutely gorgeous.

Funny fact: Ian Fleming named the Bond villain after him because he was butthurt by brutalism.

>this kills the traditionalist

...

>be a druggie homeless person, high on opium and alcohol 24/7
>squat illegaly in an abandoned factory
>write some poems and literature
>die in early twenties
>the factory becomes a cultural protected site and can't be demolished for the next 100 years

hmm

people who use the newman building are literally second class peasants

They couldn't get a permission to demolish that old house, so instead they renovated it and built the actual building around it. What a waste of money.

Who owns the deed to the old house?
If it's not them, then they shouldn't be allowed to take up space above the house.

...

I will never understand why NUIG thought this was a good idea.

The fuck were we thinking?

...

The name itself already states that's a style for edgelords.

Legitimately nothing wrong with brutalism

Put your awful shoeboxes on the edge of town but don't ruin my historic city centers with them REEEEE.

Historic main square? JUST CLOG IT WITH A TUMOR.

It comes from a french word you uncouth swine

...

Le Corbusier should've been gassed. I get another aneurysm whenever I read that name.

Tel Aviv city hall

...

>muh purity
Most people seem to think of everything built before 1920 as "timeless, classy architecture", totally disregarding the diversity among the pre-modernist architecture. When you say "historical" city centre, you imply that everything there somehow belongs to the same style, just because it is one spatial unit.

However, even within these "historical city centres", there is a diversity of buildings from different eras.

Modern architecture doesn't ruin the "purity" of an area, because in most cases, there was no purity in the first place.

It does though, because city centers are the only spot where we can afford to maintain the old all in one place. Everywhere else old stuff gets torn down to make way for new stuff. There's already enough new stuff in the world, no need to put it into our city centers, too.

This shit stinks

>he built spacious, yet cheap flats for people who had lost their homes in the war
>despite being for low-income families, the flats had luxurious features, such as indoor shopping streets, rooftop swimming pools and large balconies
>this means he should be gassed
easy there, germany

Every single one of the "old" buildings you see took the place of an even older building, which had to be demolished. Maybe people back then also said what you're saying now.

>There's already enough new stuff in the world
pic was torn down in 2006 to make way for this totally old and super ancient piece of crap

KILL ME

IT HURTS SO MUCH

Jonathan Meades is /ourguy/ when it comes to Brutalism

To be fair though, Palace of the Republic was torn down mainly because it consisted of 120% asbestos.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_the_Republic,_Berlin#Asbestos_contamination

>Just prior to German reunification in October 1990, the structure was found to be contaminated with asbestos, and was closed to the public on 19 September 1990, by decree of the Volkskammer. By 2003, all the asbestos had been removed along with internal and external fittings allowing either safe reconstruction or safe deconstruction.

...

huh. Guess they were just butthurt then.

>Every single one of the "old" buildings you see took the place of an even older building

'no'

He pursued an idealistic and alienating planning style of comprehensive standardization, and if he had been in charge of more entire districts instead of just singular buildings they would've become the same landscapes of loosely scattered authoritarian blocks as the American housing projects and Soviets as a whole churned out. His vision was dog shit.

Truly greatest ally.

>brutalism can provide a better standard of living to poor people

it's literally designed to be as cheap as possible and the ugliness of the design itself causes crimes

That type of planning gives more room to greenery. Ever noticed that modernist architecture does landscaping, while more liberal architecture (i.e. New York) tends to be grid based, flat and devoid of greenery?

Pic related was torn down in 1950 to make way for your god awful hunk of socialist symbolism. I'm fucking glad the Palace of the Republic is gone. Good riddance.

>Every single one of the "old" buildings you see took the place of an even older building, which had to be demolished. Maybe people back then also said what you're saying now.
>hurr durr everything was old so nothing matters!

hate this nihilistic swedefaggot, please just fucking kill yourself

My grandfather used to live in that building for 2 years.

The problem is that these kinds of plans rarely took into account the communal needs of the inhabitants.

>here's space for greenery
>a grocery shop? Too ugly for the design, enjoy walking 15 min across a giant plate of concrete (mixed with greenery) to get to one
>doesn't it look pretty from a bird's eye view doe

Ireland is literally just Britain

>torn down
I'm surprised it didn't fall down

And Dublin is just a B-rate British city like Liverpool or Glasgow.

Sure, but the increased scale between buildings makes the public space an impersonal and undesirable experience.

Confirmed for never having been to Dublin

The brutalist stuff is very rare, this city is God's gift

Maybe if you hate chillin' in parks.

I live in what you'd call a commieblock, with a lot of space and greenery between the towers. Almost everytime i leave my flat, I see children playing and old people sitting on benches and bantering. No one here seems to find it as "undesirable" as you describe.

Dublin is just a dirty piece of shit outside maybe 1 or 2 avenues.

I know every single part like the back of my hand, you're full of shit

If you know every part of a shit it's still shit. Fuck off west brit.

if you live in croydon and you know what the building is for it makes it even more ugly

...

Looks nice if you ask me

Not enough threads for this.
