inb4 brutalist

also we should have stopped building buildings with the Parthenon

>>4755058
Whats wrong with brutalist architecture?

>>4755073
it causes feelings of suicidal intent in me

>>4755058
Brutalism can look cool, the issue largely is that concrete as a material ages largely like complete shit.

My tastes are pretty stereotypical: Art Deco, Art Nouveau and Constructivism.

I actually have a soft spot for Stalinism as well. It's just so fucking blingy like classical, but not to gods, but to the awesomeness of humans.

Minimalism. I am a christian pole hermit.

MY FAVORITE ARCHITECTURAL STYLES ARE:

1. SEVERE DECÓ.

2. BRUTALISM.

3. ART DECÓ.

I DO NOT HAVE A FAVORITE "PHILOSOPHICAL MOVEMENT"; I DO NOT "BELIEVE" IN "PHILOSOPHICAL MOVEMENTS"; I "BELIEVE" IN LIFESTYLES.

that looks like the 3dimensional realization of an awful floral pattern curtain shower in a disgusting old womans house
ie it sucks
and youre wrong\
and i feel ill fore having looked at it

I think a roman villa would be the comfiest place to live in, with some modern modifications.

Indoor garden with thatched galleries, fountain or pool in the middle. I fell in love with the design from Pompeii.

Of course it only works in warmish countries.

>>4755057
Will you accept literary movements?

ITT: I learned about Art Deco from gangster films and Bioshock.

>>4755105

Projecting much?

>>4755105
come on, you had to know that someone would say you were projecting and yet you still posted

>>4755129
I just wanted someone's attention. I'm a lonely, horrible little man.

are you perchance...spiteful

>>4755140
No, some other anon replied to you. I was just shitposting because I drank too much coffee.

>>4755057
>What is your favourite architectural movement
Oh so many! Art Nouveau is my favourite and still so unexplored imo

>>4755091
>I "BELIEVE" IN LIFESTYLES.

>>4755139

Goddamn that shit is so fucking awesome. Why was Stalin so great, friends?

>MFW I see another post-modern deconstructionist nightmare arise in my city

>Hey guys, lets use deconstructivism to build a national gallery, but not actually leave an exhibit area big enough to house anything! Instead, 90% of the building is a giant lobby and giftshop!

why!? WHY!? Here's a fucking absolute truth you post modernist fuckwits, NATIONAL GALLERIES ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE FUCKING AREAS WHERE YOU CAN PUT ON EXHIBITS YOU FUCKTARDS.

We got like 15% of the Silk road exhibit because of that clusterfuck.

>>4755139
Is that palace fucking real
are you shitting me

>>4755167
Thanks to WW2, not anymore. It became a pool.

>>4755171
i am more mad about this than about the jews

The modern Australian rural homestead.

>>4755097
You will never take a leisurely stroll around the colonnade with your fellow patricians, holding your toga, discussing politics, quarries, and the inflated price of Pydean whores.

Antebellum is the most beautiful of domestic styles.

>>4755241
is that Louisiana?

>>4755248

Theres a good chance, i think it began in Louisiana and spread around the south.

>>4755255
Cool
Ive always really loved that kind of house, I didnt know it had a name

That porch that goes all around is so awesome the chill on during warm evenings. Idk why it matters that it goes all the way around but it does

>>4755241
>Pillars in anything other than classical Architecture

Ew.

>>4755139

Welthauptstadt Germania was better

>>4755456
But that doesn't conjure up images of the Tower of Babel nearly as well.

>>4755479
>mfw the Volkshalle dome was being enough to condense the breathing of the nazi leadership to create its own inner atmosphere and from time to time let down a pour of nazi rain so that hitlers breath and supple tears could touch your cheeks even after he was gone.

I'm not a nazi but holy fuck that was a master-stroke.

The welthauptstadt is scary and fascinating for so many fucking reasons.

>>4755479
Also maybe this will give you a picture.

It would have been as high as the eiffel tower and bigger than the pyramid of giza.

>>4755091

Good ole Gothic

>>4755241
>Americans actually believe this

I love eco-architecture in theory, I think the architecture say in Anno 2070 video game looked really cool and interesting.

Eco-Buildings in real life though are typically ugly as fuck.

>>4755057
Brutalism
Nihilism
Yes

ITT: Butterlips reveals her massive hard on for the patriarchy.

I really love the architecture in Gears of War and its sequels
>dat hotel in 3

>>4756060
The difference is probably that real life eco-friendly buildings have to actually be eco-friendly instead of just needing to look futuristic.

I'd disagree that the Anno building look any kind of good though, and I'd be interested to see what sort of buildings are your reference point for extant eco-friendly buildings. The image that I get is expansive, architected rural residences that sit naturally in their environments an have huge sun-facing sides that let in all the sun and all the outside they can.

I don't know of anything like an apartment complex that purports to be eco-friendly and doesn't look like just another new apartment complex.

>>4756199
Earthships maybe?

>>4755162
Sounds like you have no idea what postmodernism is, you weeaboo.

>>4756206
Nor does he know what deconstructionism means.

>you will never go back in time to stop hitler and stalin from fighting so that their zany fantasy kingdoms can flourish side by side and be interesting as fuck

>>4756218
>tfw you will never go back in time and help Hitler stop Stalin saving the world from: communism, post modernism, Liberalism & multiculturalism, Cultural Marxism, political correctness, man-hating radical feminist movement

>>4756313
I don't think you're familiar with Stalin, he would basically have you killed for adhering to any of those isms. The shit you mention is all the result of capitalism.

>>4756199
Who you are replying too:
Mostly Earthships and Eco-Apartment buildings/terraces.

Again, love them in theory, the implementation could be better though.

>>4756372
does the teletubbie theme play from those big ass horns on the roofs?

>>4756376

That is honestly exactly what I thought when I first saw this development.

>>4756337
>I don't think you're familiar with Stalin, he would basically have you killed for adhering to any of those isms. The shit you mention is all the result of capitalism.

What I was talking about wasn't due to Stalin.
post modernism, liberalism. multiculturalism, Cultural Marxism, political correctness, the man-hating radical feminist movement is a result of Marxism that would have been stamped out but National Socialism

>>4756939
It also would have been stamped out by Stalinism. Blame the yanks.

Fav arch. movement: Brutalism
Fav philosophical movement: nietzchian existentialism

Do they correlate?
Yes.

>>4755057
Commie Blocks
Marxism/hiphop general

>>4757047
nietzsche was a tremendous classiboo, he would have hated brutalism

Hi-Tech and Brutalist architecture are my favourite at the moment, I also love neoclassical

>>4757063

And where is the USSR now? oh right.

>>4755092

>>4757142
That looks great. I'm glad dystopic architecture is so popular in real life.

>>4757197
It's the Loyds Building in London, a cathedral to capitalism

>>4757110
>Gaudy
Reeeaaallly ellaborate pun there, 9/10.

>>4757091
Blame the yanks.

>>4755058
True, we should've trained our bodies to live without shelter after 438 BC

>>4755097
Atrium house alllllll day.

But actually, I agree with you, aside from the fact that an interior atrium would get really shitty, really fast after multiple rains.

>>4755219
>you will never retreat from public life to your country villa and leisurely fuck your slaves and drink wine in your bath

>>4755057

Deconstructionism, even though my favorite architect is Le Corbusier. No, it does not.

>>4757880
stop abusing derrida's baby you cunt

>>4755057
Brutalism
Utilitarianism

Art Deco and the typical bungalow style you see in suburbia are my absolute least favorites though, I think that says more about me than anything else. To hell with these little wooden pussy buildings, give me a 60-foot dick made of raw concrete

>>4755091
you mean you're not an objectivist?

>>4758240
objectivists don't really exist

>>4758245
What about Greenspan?

>>4755086
>Brutalism can look cool, the issue largely is that concrete as a material ages largely like complete shit.
That's not so much of an issue now, plus it doesn't change that a lot of people thought brutalism was shit when it was all new.

>favorite architectural movement
Postmodernism
>does it correlate with your favourite philosophical movement
Don't have one since they're all dependent on each other (but not really)

>>4758414
no
>>4756206
yes
>>4758414
yes

Architecture:
>Art Deco
>Mid-Century Modern
>Constructivism

Philosophy:
>Absurdism
>Existentialism
>Epicurianism

not really

>>4756133
I like a lot.

Wouldn't you like a front door like this?

>>4755092
I hope you appreciate the fact that your inability to appreciate someone who is widely regarded as the most accomplished and most sincere architect of the last two centuries puts you on shaky ground to even express an opinion, but assuming you do recognize that...

I promise you it looks much better in person. The Sagrada Familia actually made me feel sick and upset when I saw it in pictures, until I had seen it up close. There's just too much going on, too much detail and dimensionality, to really express in a 2D projection. That's why it ends up looking chaotic and dirty.

>>4755097
I some ways, Pompeii was very relatable--that familiar shock of realizing that millions of people shared lifestyles similar to ours thousands of years ago--but in other ways, it was eye-openingly primitive. The more I learn about it, the more the entire Roman Civilization begins to sound like a sham, a flimsy stage play. As if they were really just peasant farmers who had discovered the miracle of self-aggrandizing mythology.

Of all of Pompeii's houses, only two or three are grand. Those grand houses could only function thanks to the constant upkeep of hundreds of slaves and freedmen. If I could witness the Romans living at their height, as they were in 79 AD, I think I might even laugh at how silly they seem.

>>4755139
Wayyyy too "Tower of Babel."

If you really don't believe in God, you don't need to spite him. That's why this seems like more of a joke than anything else.

>>4755528
What material could they possibly make that dome out of that would support itself?

>>4758905
No, I would feel like I was being unbirthed every time I went home as I walked into that angel's gaping vagina.

>>4759081
>Implying you aren't

>>4759137
Thanks, but to me "going home" doesn't mean "crawling into a womb." I'm not a manchild.

i like pomo and i also like pomo

>>4759150
Live on your tower then. See if I care!

>>4759174
getting some uncomfortably phallic vibes from this

>>4759174
The penis tower makes me feel inadequate, which as a postmodernly emasculated and sexually confounded man, I love.

>>4759187
That's the point, holy shit, are you even reading the thread?
