/urban/ + /architecture/

New/old contrast edition

That thing is a complete pile of garbage.

Not very subtly integrated to the existing environment, is it?

What purpose does it serve other than looking so edgy?

...

it's obviously to trigger you

It literally looks edgy on purpose to demonstrate "the edginess of war", it's the German Military History Museum. The rear of the shard houses extensions of the floors. You have three guesses who designed the addition.

...

A Polish Jew. Your point?

Royal Ontario Museum, the addition designed by Daniel Libeskind aswell.

My point being he intentionally made it an ugly piece of garbage out of personal sentiment against German military history.

every single of his designs is edgy so I assure you that he didn't do it "intentionally"

and why would the investors allow for that ? they wanted it that why and they hired him

The investor was the German state, and the German state has a complex over its own history anyway.

...

or they simply liked it ffs

Am I the only one on Sup Forums that likes urban architecture?

Here's the new U.S. embassy they're building in London

stop being so angry you stupid kraut

That one is actually pretty cool.

Here is something similar but on a smaller scale from Norway (pic)

...

"Urban" doesn't describe the style, only the environment.

London has a great mix of modern and traditional.

This is meant to represent a futuristic robotic animal raping the old building, yes?

I think hes referring to this general
top kek maybe

...

Why is there no architecture board on Sup Forums?

far too small base
