Parliament building London UK

...

Brutalist architecture, West London.

That's some Kowloon-level shit.
How many people live there?

>Loyds Banking London
interesting, lokoks like a rafinery

>worst korea

...

I really like Stalinist architecture.

...

Forgot the picture.

cool, is there anything inside?

not really it's been abandoned

This one would be better without the ugly green roof.

...

Imperial commieblock.

...

...

...

>his "city" doesn't have a wall
embarrassing desu

Modern commieblocks. Despite high prices they are somehow worse than early brick commieblocks.

...

Manchester

...

...

...

That looks really comfy

Typical commieblock mixed with typical soviet factory.

The ACP administration building

...

thats from Hong Kong and was razed to the ground 20 years ago

it is in Kowloon

The twentieth century caused a great loss to the middle eastern architectural heritage. All people think of now is desert and destruction when there was a time beautiful buildings were being built left and right mixing Islamic and Arabic elements with contemporary ones, then the 20th century happened and now majority of that is lost forever.

...

Even interior details were very elegant

...

Just took it around the corner.
Post- and pre-WW2.

before

after

could be much much worse

Is there anyone who thinks this looks good?

How common are building like this on Poland?
Only saw something close to this in Poznan once.

Well, ours isn't that aesthetic.

Are the houses right at the cliff/river affordable?

Not much imo, especially since those are always inbetween buildings where they restored the stucco or didn't have to.
Not as bad as pic related tho.

Tall (comparing to other euro cities) skyscrapers are common only in Warsaw, oh I forgot about this ugly fucker in Wroclaw,it has 215m
In other cities you won't usually see anything that has more than about 100-110m

I forgot to attach this

dublin is home to some of Europe's most fabulous brutalist architecture

Iirc Nürnberg is the only big city in Europe that still has pretty much all his city wall. (only exception are some smaller breaches for streets)

There are smaller ones that got it, tho.

I unironically work in a very modern skyscraper and live in a horrible brutalist flat. Both quite interesting architecturally, but don't like either desu. Give me a nice rural or classical design any day.

wtf

...

My local ghetto

...

funy, all these architects that create glass dildos own traditional houses

...

I really just like smaller scale historic structures but people in these threads always want to see some sort of large scale, usually public, buildings

so here's Philadelphia's City Hall

I love walled cities and villages

...

...

...

I love it.
I imagine some cool video game could be developed in the future futuring hive blocks like these fully interactive with NPCs who live in their own apartment who go by their own routine each day.

probably, this is in a city with around 50k people, so i doubt it's that expensive.

...

...

Chicagoan here. I had an Italian cousin come to study some architecture here, and I learned a lot. Here are some of the things I loved.

This is the Farnsworth House in Plano, IL

...

That's ugly though

I guess that picture looks bad, but I liked it.

Marina City

...

Looks like City 17

Wrigley Building

I'm more into traditional architecture, maybe that's why.

Shouldn't have for the heavy islamization meme

...

Pihlajamäki

...

Some more 60's brutalist stuff...

UIC's University Hall

Kuopio

...

The Museum of Science and Industry, the only remaining building from 1893 World's Columbian Exposition's "White City"
