I honestly have no idea where to post this, but /his/ told me to post it here

Im looking for any sources on architectural styles that dont really exist, and architectural styles that are completely novel. What i find in most fantasy settings and stuff is that people usually just regurgitate already existing architectural styles rather than coming up with something completely new.

Do you guys know of any sources for this?

look for Sci-Fi Architecture, and Horror Architecture

I have some Star Wars production sketch books, there’s also LotR.
I remember there was this guy who drew these insanely detailed draftsman style buildings. I think he called it something like the architecture of heaven. Probably schizophrenic. It was so long ago. Can’t think of a name.

My problem with most sci-fi architecture is that it's usually the same style, just a continuation of modern architecture but a bit smoother.

Paul Scheerbart
>The German expressionist, architectural visionary, author, inventor, and artist Paul Scheerbart (1863-1915) wrote several fictional utopian narratives related to glass architecture. In The Gray Cloth, the first of his novels to be translated into English is set forward in time to the mid-twentieth century. The protagonist, a Swiss architect named Edgar Krug, circumnavigates the globe by airship with his wife, constructing wildly varied, colored-glass buildings. His projects include a high-rise and exhibition/concert hall in Chicago, a retirement complex for air pilots on the Fiji Islands, the structure for an elevated train across a zoological park in northern India, and a suspended residential villa on the Kuria Muria Islands off the coast of Oman in the Arabian Sea.

I think Oswald Spengler’s theories regarding architecture, in particular as they pertain to Russia, might interest you.

>> No.19222077

>>19221955
Spengler is one of the few authors who really talks about it. It seems aesthetics in general and architecture in particular has been somewhat neglected nowadays.
