>europoors

You answered your own question.

>be europoor subhuman

cannot fabricate

Our tallest """building""" is 70m. The planning board here is too backward and it makes us look like a non-country

You'd think that in a country with a pretty limited amount of space like Ireland that they'd want to build up.

Shut up shit skin Indonesian. Does Indonesia have skyscrapers?????????

big
american

...

Skyscrapers, if built by anyone else than northern-americans in north-america symbolize the architectural and psychological dominance of modern, atomized global capital on the souls of the country, and thus really the destruction of those souls.

yes it does

I think it's due to having a shit soil that can't handle too much weight.

Because skyscrapers are modern. A sign of being nuoveau riche. Europe of course go back thousands of years, no need for skyscrapers to try and grasp at success.

Doesn't stop American tourists from coming here

Most of Ireland is cultivated land.

It seems that way but apparently it's far from true. We're not exactly urbanised either, makes me wonder what the land is actually used for. Must be a lot more bog wasteland than I thought

We actually build down, not up.

We don't really have comfy old towns here outside of New England, so the aesthetic concerns weren't as serious. Plus, we had a ton of immigrants and money flowing into the big cities but very little land, so people rushed to build skyscrapers to compensate.

They're a blessing and a curse, honestly. They're pretty cool, especially when you go up and look out from thousands of feet up or so, but also dehumanizing, especially in places like NYC. You feel like a fucking ant in comparison to more modest buildings. But I would like to see us build higher again, at the scale of what the Gulf countries and China are doing.

skyscrapers are shit

look like fucking shit

...

That's because you're too poor to build them.

There are enough skyscrapers built here

youtube.com/watch?v=ss8OebXfBRw

traditional buildings are worth much more than some weirdly design glass shits

we're poor, but skycrapers are shit

Skyscrapers are just over-compensating.
Americans have no historical monuments or buildings, so they compensate for that with big ugly masses of crystal and concrete.
The're just trying to distract from the fact that they're all the same. Irrelevant buildings built by some no-name architects by the dozens in a desperate attempt to face against the gravitas and historical importance of millenarian European cities.

>Bomb each other's cities to pancakes
>Maybe we should improve and modernize our cities
>Nah let's rebuild everything exactly the same shitty way
I can not understand

I have recently learned a most distressing fact. It is that one of the more cultured continents does not build skyscrapers. Now we all know that Europe has old buildings by the sheer amount of spam. But they don’t they build new ones? The construction of skyscrapers is an essential element of urban space management. And I just can’t fathom why they don’t do it. Why won’t Europeans build skyscrapers?

>if it wasn't built before the 1800's it isn't historical

what a stupid post

Damn it must be terrible to be a historylet.
>i-if I wasn't born i-it counts as history!
Sure thing mutt.

...

But we do

Gherkin always managed to looked London-y but out of place at the same time

> London

>m-muh fossils
face it, skyscrapers are the future

Try again, sweetie ;)

I'm surprised there are 0 skyscrapers in Berlin

Glorious Nordic suburbs

Warsaw will soon get a >300m

Skyscrapers are dumb. Look what happened to those people on 9/11.

Because we understand that being trapped in an office 300m off the ground for 12 hours every day is fucking shit?

Goldberg really has you burgers under his thumb, you view being trapped in a tall building as something to be proud of

>all these people defending having manlet buildings

If you don't have one at least 500m high your country isn't modern.

you seem very concerned about size user

...

Do Americans even know what it feels like to walk in the narrow alleys of the old town? Much better than more bank buildings.

Europe has plenty of modern architecture. Ever been to Athens

Athens was a backwater no name village with some ruins and the Albanian army camping in it when the Greeks started shopping for a new capital

>St. Petersburg

There are parts like this in Boston. Closer to where I live, Alexandria Virginia is a bit like that

Like Washington

europoors why u no build this?*????!! poor poor poor

>tfw Albanians found America first

It's called Lakhta Center, the tallest building in Europe

...

there's some in London I believe.

>his first thought when he sees that is a butt plug

Says more about you.

yeah, in New England

top comfy, love this so much more than pic related

Literally monuments to corruption like Sochi.

Behold!

We have height restrictions here...

This photo is racist.

I doubt it.

>They have height restrictions because buildings still cannot be taller than the church

Ture reason: Building regulations
Meme asnwer: La creatura...

shut up huemonkey

This, we are not allowed to build -10 meter above sea level.

lol at all the chinkshits copying america over europe

They are building a fuckton of them here in Frankfurt. I like the mix of classical architecture and skycrapers

Are you Americanmuttboo?

Poland is the Slav America

Skyscrapers are okay as long as you don't allow non-whites into your country

Modern architecture is shit, no identity. Fucking jewchitect

Yeah because modern architecture will have the individual architect's vain choice of style whereas traditional architecture has a pattern so everything looks more uniform and amplifies the sense of belonging.

Been there, done that, decided it wasn't a good idea.

when this fucker will be built it has though

subhuman koreaboo

wtf is THAT?

BOSNIA
YES!

CN Tower isn't a building. You barely have a one over 300m yourself.

Nice hellscraper

>This is what happens when you save in .jpg

We do have skyscrapers

the tallest residential building : 140 m

Tallest building in denmark, only 120m

the tallest commercial building : 150 m

portland is pretty comfy but the people there have this snobby "fuck off if youre not from here" aura around them

Regulation.

is that supposed to be Barad-Dur?

We have like two of them. Probably because our local architects are retarded.

>tfw based Toralinna is still there

>tfw when tallest building in Poland built by Russian and in distinctive Stalinist style

>if built by anyone else than northern-americans
no
>if built by anyone at all
yes. yankroaches epitomise what you describe

Maybe if your countries history was longer than 300 years you would underatand.

*understand
End me.
