That doesn't stop us architects from pretending to be urban planners, keep at it and good luck

>>1685622
the problem is mainly the materials usually used, iirc a lot of Brutalist structures use really cheap concrete that wasn't meant to last and so it by now most of them have been weathered down and have been discolored by these really garish stains due to rain along side attracting moss

it just doesn't age well at all so with the rundown appearance coupled with the aggressive design it just depresses most people

I find the movement interesting, but I think it's a terrible choice for say government buildings that the general public has to interact with everyday and act as a monument/landmark meant to inspire

Neoclassical is fucking dogshit. It's such a fucking tryhard, tacky architectural movement for unimaginative nationalists.

Art Deco imo is probably the most aesthetic architectual movement, along with Art Nouveau.

Brutalism can look absolutely fantastic, but a lot of Brutalist projects come off as sterile and ugly as fuck. I honestly think that Brutalism looks better from the interior, than exterior.

Look up Mies van der Rohe for a minute and you might figure out why neoclassical architecture is so bloody important.

Bauhaus and early modernism are absolutely stunning by the way and often misunderstood, although I do agree art deco is perfect in every way (and that art nouveau comes pretty close to that).

Brutalism is monolithic, a monument to structure and power. People often underestimate it. It has "ruin value" without being ancient, it manages to look "out of time". So many qualities.

nice detail

I want to build an alt history setting where WW2 developed into a cold war instead of ending just to have a world seperated into Art Deco, Nazi, Italian fascist and Soviet architecture, and by Soviet I stuff like Palace of Culture and Science and Karl Marx Allee. I don't even have any stories to tell with it, just think it would be cool. Looking at the world and be able to discern who rules where and with what ideology just by looking at their buildings.

I understand architectural history, I just personally find Neo-Classical tacky shit and basically "We wuz kings n shieeet" the architectural movement because that's generally how it's used.

The whole point is to use simple concrete, as a form of honesty, purity and effectiveness (in particular as a government message) however with new tech many of these can be restored and added protective layers to keep the concrete in good condition. You keep the concrete and the wear and tear but without compromising the building.

Then you've forgotten the point of neo-classical architecture, which is to return to a time tested formula, such as modest forms, human proportions, and 'non-useful' details.

Often, the optimization you see in modern architecture serves absolutely no purpose, other than to make buildings bland and ugly

you're talking about proper Neoclassical, i.e., 1750-1800

I think what he is talking about is the later 1800-1900s "neoclassical" (not capitalized) stuff, which is the exact opposite of what you just mentioned. that stuff is indeed super tacky and nationalist

before modern architecture, architecture is seen as vital part of a nation civilisation, and supposed to express certain moral value
modern architecture is form follow function and ignore the notion of meaning in architecture, everything is sacrificed for function

past architecture: form follows meaning
modern architecture: form follows function

there's some exception to this, mostly on religious architecture which of course have to touch people heart, but aside from that, architecture these days are either utilitarian corbu's box or curvy gehry's crap

I'm the guy you replied to, and to be honest I couldn't say. Technically, it's still basic, unadulterated brutalism, but you often get this harmonious mix in projects dating from the early '70s.

The philosophy behind the movement is spectacular, and it's a shame post-modernist and contemporary architecture miss or ignore its finer points.

As a graduate from an architectural technology program, I unironically love the big box store aesthetic. You know the one I'm talking about; those stores with the stucco exterior and the raised parapets at the entrances. I think they are a perfect synthesis of classical and modern styles. From modernism, they borrow their minimalism and function-oriented design. The ornamentation is very subtle; if you direct your attention to the attached photograph, you notice how this building facade consists of three materials; stucco, adhered manufactured stone, and a glazed curtain wall. It has simple, yet effective crown moldings, and a decorative molding between the stucco and stone. One important development in modernism was that rather than elaborate ornamentation, the materials themselves were used as decoration. The raised parapets and canopies give the building a little definition making it look a little less like a simple shoebox. It's practical, yet some effort has visibly been made to create a nice space for the occupants.

Why is it that people in these threads with the strongest opinions about architecture are never trained or working in the construction industry?

If you're interested in architecture, never learn these things unless you want to sound like a pretentious douche. I have never in my life heard a person utter the word "voussoir" since my first year in college.

Overrated shit. Architecture students love Frank Lloyd Wright because their teachers tell them he was good. He was really just a pretentious asshole with a big ego.

Doesn't change the fact he was bretty good desu.

i've seen some pretty cool strip mall exteriors that i was surprised to find myself admiring, especially ones with interesting features like covered walkways and towers, but your example pic is incredibly bland

>>1701166
The one I posted was a general idea of the style. I had a photo of a better one saved that I had used as... "inspiration" for a project I had done, but I can't seem to locate it.

It looks too fake and souless.

The concept is good, the execution is horrible. Imagine your pic but instead of dude concrete lmao they used actual civilized designs with balconies, terraces, woodwork and columns, you know like a place for people to enjoy and live on

hi where are the little german villages that inspired early 00's jRPG settings

A Gupta temple at Deogarh. Not incredibly impressive, but this style of temple is ancestral to most later Hindu architecture in India and Southeast Asia so it's worth posting.
