How beautiful could Europe be today if WWII hadn't happened?
>>1881667
It would be much better and places like Dresden (pls no bully) and other European cities devastated by the war wouldn't have shit modern architecture
The Swedes went and ruined Stockholm without any war
Stalingrad was pretty nice before the eternal kraut decided to chimp out on it

i dunno why people wank over these kind of buildings there are some near where I live and they're ugly as shit

Cologne montages of how the city could look if it hadn't been destroyed

Really makes you think
Really makes you cry

art-deco and neoclassical architecture is shit anyway
>>1881937
Nearly all cities of my region have been destoryed by the allies bombing, which caused the death od thousands of civilians. Germany should have won for the sake of european culture
>>1881937
>>1881718
I guarantee you the interior of the building on the left would be close to unlivable by now.
>>1882015
Most buildings I never walk into
So they are mostly decorations
>>1881978
Well, if you wouldn't start shit with industrialized democracies, you wouldn't have giant Transformers powered by dancing black people showing up and wrecking your shit. Let's hope you've learnt your lesson.
>>1881667
It would be very beautiful and white if hitler won

I'm not german, i'm from normandy
>>1882015
Yeah.. a lot of these old European building look beautiful and sophisticated from the outside and then you see than the interiors are humid, smell bad and there's mold everywhere. Or the rooms and apartments themselves have weird designs (small area but with very tall ceilings, etc)
>>1882367
You got in the way.
Look on the bright side: you fields got plowed, your trees got pruned, and every house got free air conditioning.
about tree fiddy
>>1881964
I agree, but look at a city like dresden or frankfurt-- architecture dating back to the 13th century
>>1882015
>>1882534
yes that's why every building in Paris, Amsterdam, London, New York, etc that is older than 100 years has been demolished or completely a moldy trashy shitheap. yep, its entirely impossible for any civilized country to maintain older buildings, you are so right. that must be why cities like Prague and Vienna don't exist.
>>1881667
For WW2 to have never happened, WW1 must not have happened either.
>>1881667
:')
>>1881667
Very
>>1881667
What is that round building? Is it still standing?

>not appreciating Soviet post-brutalist nouveau concrete
>>1882572
My school is the same, the facade is old while the interior is modern as fuck
I dunno, 10.6 million more slavs would have started families. That's a LOT of hypothetical modern slavs.
>>1885433
it's like fine caviar, you've got to have a taste for it
>not appreciating bauhaus modernism
Didn't the Poles rebuild Warsaw to look like it did before the war (or at least parts of it)?
>>1887398
Only a small part.
The whole city was glassed to the ground by Germans and Red Army stood and watched it with a shit-eating grin. Communists wanted to rebuild it in a modernist shit-style and they did. Warsaw looks like a fucking disaster now.

The cost of renovating really old buildings is sometimes incredibly prohibitive.
>>1885654
same here
>>1882603
Mike get out of this thread
>>1881667
Western part would be the same, Eastern part would be much better
How beautiful could Europe be today if Germans were exterminated during WW2?
>>1888236
>t. le architecture defener
>>1881718
Literally why?
>>1887631
Anyone know anything about the building at :11? looks cool as hell.
>>1883827
actually really depressing
>>1888324
More like le culture and history defender, Hitler and the National Socialists wouldn't have allowed this to happen.
>>1881667
My city would have looked like this
>>1889343
lmao it's their fault in the first place you kraut kunt
>>1889045
That's the Grand Theatre and National Opera in Warsaw, the building was restored after the war and still stands
once again the germanic destroys civilization
>>1889498
Depends on the country. Literally every side of WWII destroyed my country back then.
>>1889489
Thanks, I think I've seen it in a movie. Looks like it was rebuilt a bit differently. Notice the set of pillars to the left of the main set on the second floor. They're just a cosmetic overlay now. They also tried really hard to make the stone uniform, which is not an improvement imo.
can we all at least agree that neoclassicism is fucking stupid
>>1889498
Since when do jews care about Western Civilization?
Imagine a world without commieblocks...

>>1882534
you're just a poorfag
>>1887337
you realize the bauhaus was disbanded by the nazis and lots of their architecture was destroyed in the war as well right? or are you just pretending to be retarded
>>1887648
yeah, a really poor country with a shitty economy like german could *never* afford to rennovate all those old buildings and keep them looking nice. you would have to be super duper rich, like Poland, Belgium, or Czechia
>>1881718
Beautiful aren't they.
>>1889425
Pretty sure that is communist/leftist/multi-cultural graffiti there m8
>>1890444
These buildings dilapidate and loose their shine as time goes by, and unless the place is state owned don't expect it to get any better.
They don't replace these buildings with squares just to annoy you.
>>1881718
swedes can't do anything right can they?
