Post good and and bad architecture in your city.
Melbourne - Flinders & Swanston Street, the busiest intersection

>We are new world mongrels
>We are third romz n shieet
Jaques, one of the very few new buildings I don't mind because it pays modest and aesthetic tribute to the brickwork of the previous historic manufacturer Jaques which was once on the site
Idk
Christchurch had nice buildings
What I learned from this thread is that modern architecture in Australia is shit.
modern architecture in general is shit
Top is the train station, a nice example of Canada's châteaustyle.
Bottom is the new $20 million dollar civic centre, a nice example of what happens when you try to wrap 4 different building materials around randomly placed windows.
I like how it gets progressively worse as you look from left to right.
Both look kinda grim. Why is Canada like that? Is it Breton influence?
The buttom picture is exactly what they build here nowadays. Usually for schools. Disgusting.
Really helps that over half of that $20 mil was tax dollars, in the poorest province in Canada.
The top is Canada's contribution to the world of architecture. It is called châteaustyle or railway gothic. It's a mix of British gothic revival arcitecture and the Francis I style found mostly in France's Loire Valley. I rather like it. Pic is another example, the local hotel.
The bottom is a mistake of modernity
the classicist facade of Hilton Budapest from one side, and its modern extension from the other, built atop of a Medieval monastery
the so-called Hotel Row of Pest in the 1920s and now
>had
quite literally too edgy for you
the campus buildings of Péter Pázmány Catholic University
This is absolutely disgusting.
kys, art deco was the last architectural style worth something
Post some of yours big guy
only this
I think people would just complain about wasted tax money if you tried building something neoclassicist.
here the only thing that causes general uproar among people is if trees have to be cut down to make place for a new construction
otherwise the government is free to build anything from taxpayers' money
