Dunno if you've been seeing this but Philly is going through a massive upheaval of horrible eyesores that are being called modern architecture.

>>dat triple texture facade
>>dat not even remotely blending in with the surroundings

At least it isnt shipping containers.


Phily has an intermodal port. One or two trippers would be very cheap there.


Personally , i like arts and craft style, Italian revival, and brutalist.

I'm kind of sick of seeing 50 TV's displaying pointless shit when I walk into an establishment. Bonus points when the company/building brags about how "green" they are when they leave the 50 TV's on 24/7.

most new houses look like this now in australia and while i dont see anything inherently wrong with them its just that there are neighbourhoods like this where all the goddamn houses look the same.

it makes me uneasy for some reason.

down to the fucking shrubbery in the yard.

I know the flat roof, square shape, high ceiling, white paint and big glass is overused.

But is there a better alternative, especially in hot climates?

Not using concrete for your roof makes your house a lot fucking cooler.

I'm not a fan of modern minimum-ism. It's a house, give it a fucking personality you soulless fucks. At least hang pictures of different shades of white!

Also, popcorn ceiling.

I hate houses that are heavily unbalanced and have pointless appendages attached to the main part.

I also hate a lot of the newer brick houses here in the US, because most of them tend to look like dorms and office buildings.

I've always wanted to have myself an underground Catacomb with tunnels and a room to throw parties in. Make it look real spooky and shit down there. I have no idea how I would even start.

Does anyone know how those fuckers in Paris did it?

I recently discovered there might be an old fallout shelter buried in my back garden (house used to be part of a USAF base here in the UK). I'm sceptical of its existence, but was planning on digging there anyway.

Nothing like the old trick of putting an integrated garage in the building to claim more square footage. McMansions do that too.

Detached garages don't take the house with them if they burn.

>(house used to be part of a USAF base here in the UK)

Look at old overhead pics of the base to see what was once at that location. Base history sites might yield some clues. You could even find a base website and ask since there are many USAF vets who keep in touch.

I miss defending NATO from the Bolshevik hordes, but NATO elected their own.

RIP old NATO and the Cold War. Good times.

I'm in Brisbane and 99.9% of new houses all try to look 'architecturally designed' but in doing so they all look generic.

Especially when there's a whole street of them and you can see there's one main plan with like 3 variations of it.

>people who have houses with xboxhueg windows but live in the city or suburbs

>>1140680

>Don't take the house with them

Lol you seem to forget that if someone strikes a match in a suburb, the whole neighborhood goes up in flame.

Cardboard and glue is pretty flammable

I hate the people who do architecture

They don't know it's basically construction and they always have a degree in interior design
