Do you find this building aesthetically pleasing?

Your test based on "jewish brutal architecture" sucks my man.

Kinda

That building looks like the architect decided halfway through that he doesn't want to copy the Space Needle anymore, he wants to try making American-style skyscrapers and just left the old structure up.

it's ugly

No

I enjoy brutalist architecture, so yes.

Disgusting.

What a badass name for an architectural style.

Brutalism sounds like a heavy metal band.

Pretty shit test. Did you know mods delete these 'architecture taste' threads pretty quickly?

it's interesting, but not aesthetically pleasing

Who cares about muh aesthetics. Form and function.

garbage but who cares

It doesn't conform to "normal" architectural style.
It looks like it's in the middle of nowhere.
It has a big "fuck you" air-traffic control tower on it.

Yep, I like it.

i like it

function > form

I dont know but it really makes me think about #FeelingTheJohnson

does architecture hurt your feelings?

>Aesthetics are useless
>Uses unnecessary picture

lolwut?

No, brutalism is pretty cool. You sound new, otherwise you'd know these threads are pruned quickly.

Protip: lurk more

looks like a prison

Real beauty comes from within you big meanie

Oh yes, so do this.
I would love to live in a brutalist city.

looks fucking dank

Brutalism is awful. Nothing beats Romanesque

>Do you find this building aesthetically pleasing?
No, but I do like it.

>commieblocks glued to a shitty revolving tower

No
The true "litmus test" is that the shills are not posting in these threads, but rather creating them.

This is good but OP is trash, its ugly and asymmetrical for no reason

Its not symmetrical so its shit.

looks magfuckineato

Yes. Big steel and glass abominations not making you feel speshul enuf?

Eh I can go either way, there's ugliness and not ugliness in the design

Something cool about the linkage at the top. Basically pretty ugly, but unique and charming in a way. I'd like to have an apartment near to the top, by the skybridge and under the tower.

All in all, thumbs up from me.

Looks stupid t b h family.

See, I like this one.

Looks pretty brutal. OP's sucks.

OP's looks like a bored 7 year old sloppily made some lego thing, and somebody designed a building out of it.

this is far more aesthetically pleasing than the OP

not all brutalism is equal

Kinda cool

No

From the thumbnail it looks really good

but once u actually look at the tower you see it is very VERY UGLY. crooked, uneven it looks like some 14 year old made it

yes its beautiful

It takes the environment and says fuck it. The building itself makes for community. All brutalist structures do. They are like piazze. Look at the heating duct. Up one side. And a big fuck you to Al Gore. One half residences. One half offices. A nice big dildo clock in the middle. What's not to love? Bunch of Plebes

>Place looks like shit
>feel like killing yourself every time you go through it
>nobody wants to live in it, people stop using it
>becomes hobo/nigger paradise

Congrats on making the quality of life of anyone living near it plummet nigger

Just look at this beauty.

looks appropriate for a court building famalam

Nope. They were designed with beauty functionality and communalism all in one. Modern phone zombie squares don't understand. My penis was exposed in a locker room. Waaaah

What the hell is the function you filthy kike?

Fucking bad ass. Why wouldnt you surf down that aesthetic touch?

Read my posts

This. If I was a shill it would be pretty clear to answer no

Needs ramparts and cannon.

>They were designed with beauty functionality and communalism all in one
>but they look like shit

I like concrete. I like the forms' kookiness. Crucify me

looks awful, there are no windows.

Muh windows. Get back to work. Boss aint payin rent for you to have earbuds in your ears off in space. Also there is translucent concrete now and this style is back in vogue. Suck it

That shit is brutal as fuck.

Looks like some kinda space empire's hotel for tourists visiting a death planet.

I love it.

It makes you have things to think about when youre bored

Humans will actually start to freak out in a room with no windows user.

Brutalist can have windows too.

I did.
Nothing you said supports a design based on function. It's an autistic conglomeration of half-formed ideas on par with Homer Simpson's car.

Not Leos like me

9-11 fags

Quads of dubious facts.

motherfuckers want to stare out windows and daydream and sheeiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttt

You enjoy making things look as lifeless as possible because of some fetish and then the people in the area have to live with it

...

Too bad it looks so lame

Yeah. One non byzantine wasteful heating duct. Half residences. Half offices. And a big dildo calendar with a restaurant or penthouse? You can't get more functional than that, Sven

This is wonderful though. Love it.

And you blind me with glass and aluminum and rust and postmodernism like wrought-iron deer scaling the sidea of your HP dildo computer towers

You can have both, just in different cities.

I think a city should have a distinct style so when you see a picture of any street you say "Hey, that's X" without any other clues.

this would be at home in the Galactic Empire

It's a court house, the lack of windows is fine in that case.

Does it change into a giant robot or what?

Not much more and it'll look like afuckin' spaceship.

Not really. Good concept, could work with improvement.

is that brutality? just looks poorly maintained. Add some paint and it'll actually look pretty futurist

My college is full of buildings like this. It literally looks like Soviet Town in the winter, completely depressing. Pic related is the main administration building

>this is ugly

I like it, but why's the building on the right shorter? Should be same height. Also the central tower should either be in the middle or there should be two towers.

Roger Stevens Building – Leeds

Or just make a building that doesn't look like it came from a massproduction stamp so that you don't stop to think about how useless you are in this planet and how if you died there would be people with your same identical qualities in every nearby town?

This one actually looks pretty decent compared to the op.

>this is ugly.

do you see it?

Nobody is special. Buildings havent a soul.

No

UIC bro?

>hey, we work on the same floor of the same building
>I can drop this report off at your desk later today
>take elevator to the topmost floor
>cross the skybridge
>take elevator down to original floor
>drop off report
>take elevator to topmost floor again
>cross the skybridge
>take elevator down to original floor
>resume working

yes, but I have a thing for soviet bloc architecture

the interior is extremely disappointing

Yes.
Half residences.
Half offices.
Whose only means of connection is a tiny bridge at the top(!) of the building meaning that there's no efficient way for people in one half of the building to get to the other. With a revolving restaurant slapped on the top for no reason.

It's fucking Homer's car.
The fact you're obsessed with those heating ducts only reinforces the impression of autism.

Yes, I go to the University of Indians and Chinese

Looks cool

Wall*E style Amerifats

I like this a lot more than other brutalist stuff

>tfw you went to school here and they had to retrofit the whole thing because they didn't account for the weight of the books that would be in the library

communists infiltrated unis and built these peices of shit on the tax payer dollar

Living in a good looking place and living in a gloomy, grey place makes all the difference

Stupid humans and their questioning of mighty concrete. That is not concrete's problem. If the WTC were concrete nobody would smash into it

Muh Bob Ross life is colour and individualism. Nah. There is beauty is sadness or suffering. It has their points and purposes too

Weren't you claiming the building design places function over form?
Unless the function of your design was to create an inefficient building it's clearly not very functional.
