Any architects or arch enthusiasts here?
>>310898
Yes, and I really do hope that this reckless faggotry is a shoop.
>>310903
Gotta disappoint you. I quite enjoy it as a provocation, though
What are you into?
hey, im an architecture student, 5th year
>>310908
Hey, nice. 3rd year here. Finished your studio project for this year yet?
Our capital Rīga is filled with Jugendstil / National Romanticism so I'm very fond to that, but I also lik Brutalism quite a lot, in terms of sheer size and creative forms and looks bretty good when u add some plants and stuff.
>>310938
Good taste, anon. Never been to Riga myself, but I heard many good things. Brutalism has kind of become a meme lately so I'm a bit sick of people jerking off to it online (especially people who don't really understand it and just like it because it's vaguely edgy). Opinion on the rising po-mo revival?
>>310940
Never really have put much of a thought in po-mo. Can't say I've really enjoyed it, it is just something that is, I don't feel the flavor, maybe that's a good thing. I often visit a local industrial town that's very much like that, the cyan-coated infrastructure is incredibly well kept (as the (((mayor))) has managed to (((redistribute))) huge amounts of nation's tax-payer money), but it's completely devoid of 'soul'.
I do appreciate some post-modernist things that are in Brutalist and early Modernist direction.
Russian Constructivism is pretty nice. Too bad they all took a bullet.
>>310941
I do love po-mo myself, although mostly the theory behind it. Tschumi, Rossi, Venturi are my biggest inspirations lately.
Russian Constructivism truly is amazing. Check out Tschumi's Parc La Vilette for an (imo) brilliant amalgamation of postmodern content / concept and constructivist form.
>>310943
Here's a artist I'm friends with by the name of Eltons Kūns, his work is quite a lot inspired by Constructivism, noticeably by Latvian constructivist Gustavs Klucis.

DAMN that's a pretty PC
Architecture student turned interior designer. After four years in the field, I'm starting to regret my decision and am tempted to switch back.
I'm a graphic designer that doesn't no much at all about architecture, any books/films I should watch to educate myself?

yeah but i prefer interior design
>>312137
I'm not really interested in learning about how to be an architect, and i already have a good theoretical and historical grasp of art and design. I'd rather a few solid documentaries or resources for learning about specific important architects and movements in architecture.
>>310898
Ex-archi student here, dropped out on 4th year. Was a big fan of Koolhaas' thought, it's what most excited me in the field. You guys would sure enjoy his book SMLXL, even if you're just into design not archi
Does anyone know where I can download the Autocad 2018 book?
Hi. Sorry to ask this here but couldnt find a proper place to do it. Are there any resourses, pdfs and such, to learn basic principles of interior design, industrial design and other fields not /gd/?
>>312133
for architecture theory start with adolf loos' essays and "toward an architecture" by le corbusier
for architecture history see pic related, as >>312816 said
>>312816
>>312873
Architecture from Prehistory to Postmodernity by in Trachtenberg, Isabelle Hyman is an essential part of any architects library
i play minecraft does that count
>>310973
You wouldn't wan't to live in a world like that either. Where this moronism exists. This looks so unhuman .What the fuck does that even represent other than:Hey look at me I am very artsy artist who is very inspired. Stop producing and endorsing garbage like this.
Peace I am out!
>>312951
Those futuristic-looking Soviet water towers have a charm, I see one from my window right now.
The Blocks one is for an electronic LP whose thematic is living your entire life in commieblocks.
Regarding the unhuman sensibility, you got to ask himself, because he has a flavor for plain revolting things, at least when it comes to the sense of humor.
>>312969
Your type of thinking ruined London.
>>312987
i don't like the grimy stained exteriors of those rapefugee inhabited concrete housing turds in real life either, trust me.
that doesn't mean the idealized sterile other-wordly version of this aesthetic you find in 3d renders is not interesting. brutalism for instance features lots of interesting inventive forms.
>>312993
cheers to you for not responding in kind to that dickhead's obvious attempts at goading you into some sort of flame-war. I don't particularly care for the art you shared, on purely aesthetic grounds, but I appreciate the reduction of "architecture" to its most basic formal components. Thanks for contributing instead of being a shit
>>312823
If you have an account with a university, you can probably access it through your academic portal. If not, ask one of your friends in engineering or design, pretty much everyone I know has it. I'd mega it but I am currently traveling and it's on my hard drive at home

Does anyone agree with this twat?

Been thinking of going back to school for architecture, but I hear bad things about the job market for architects. Can anybody here offer their experiences with working in the architecture field? Is it worth it if you're only able to do it part time?
>>313452
do you mean part-time architect ? That's.... not a thing my dude
>>313453
I guess I was thinking in terms of freelancing part time. I should have been more specific. I have a medical condition that makes it hard to predict what days I can work and what days I can't. I can't work consistently and follow a workplace attendance policy even with FMLA. But I'm starting to get sick of sitting around on disability, and if I'm gonna work, I would like to do something I actually enjoy.
Just wondering. If it's not in the cards, then it's not, and I'll figure something else out.
>>313348
I'd say spot on all the bad things about modernism, and oblivious to good modernist things. Biased, that is.
If you agree with him, look up "critical regionalism", "low-tech architecture", Peter Zumthor, Glenn Murcutt, Tadao Ando... A local modernism can be a solution to problems he evoke. I have several other examples.
Why don't them modernists consider classically accepted sense of beauty as in responsibility of creating a mentally fulfilling environment a utility?
Tasteful ornament does serve a fundamental purpose of not making you want to kill yourself imo.
Also, on Brutalist and such architecture related Facebook groups I've heard the meme notion that goes along the lines of "those who carpet-bombed Dresden should have finished the job for the entire continental Western Europe". Do many deranged leftist architects / students believe in that?
>>313527
Why should ornament be the only way to create a mentally fulfilling environment ? Did you know that plenty of ordinary old buildings dont have any ornament ?
>>313528
It was believe when brutalist architecture was created but it is no longer the case. Today is all about densification, integration to the context and refurbishing off old buildings.
>>313348
retard still hasn't figured out the difference between modernism/postmodernism, or modern/contemporary. like the "modern art" video, he's just regurgitating his talking points from elsewhere (Roger Scruton now, PragerU before)
>>313528
Brutalism is a fashionable style for dilettantes to latch onto
>>312100
it's Nextstep
>>313527
good modernism employs classical beauty in many ways.
do you think that the rows of columns in a Mies building or the white of a le Corbusier house aren't referential to Greek temples?
anyway >>>/arch/ when????
op here thanks guys for an actually good thread
>>313528
not really, the real hot edgy ideology is tschumi and koolhaas nowadays
>>313527
this guy >>313941 put it well, but also definitely check out venturi's complexity and contradiction in architecture
>>312133
Read "A Pattern Language".
>>310940
this is disgusting
"Delirious NY" is a must.
Rem Koolhaas thesis is incredible!
