City Central Library, San Diego, California

These very open public buildings, ribbed by steel, are in style. And I love them.

The Transbay Transit Center, San Francisco, California

Currently under construction, along with a new skyscraper. These designs are intended to have lots of moving air in the building, lots of bubbles and openings from the main areas into the big spaces.

I have no idea what this style is called and who else is doing it, but it is /arch/ as fuck

I didn't even know that my thread had any posts in it until I checked it just now. Anyway, these are my top ten styles for US commercial buildings in chronological order:
>Italianate
>Richardsonian Romanesque
>Collegiate Gothic
>Italian Renaissance
>International
>Mid-Century Contemporary
>New Formalism
>subdued examples of Brutalism that just look like normal buildings as opposed to desolate-looking, unpainted abominations
>Shed
>properly-executed New Traditional and Postmodern styles

The George Lucas Poetry Museum, designed by some Ching Chong firm and crammed into the architectural waste that is Expo Park.

It's a spaceship, get it? Do you get it? Isn't that clever? Get it? Cause George Lucas made E.T. so they made his meme museum into a meme.

I'm not even mad, Expo Park will rot with no coherent plan as it has for decades and Shittown will be Frank Gehry's cumrag for decades.

All the more reason to abandon LA and rebuild it with an actual plan in mind somewhere East.

Sorry for being sixteen hours late, but I've lived in the Jackson Purchase region of Kentucky for my entire life, and Shingle-style buildings can't really be found anywhere except the Northeast of the country, so I can't relate to the style enough to "understand" it.

What's your method of envisioning your own ideal city? I just list all architectural styles that make sense to exist within the area of the country that the city (or town) would be in, and then next to each style, list all of the buildings that would be in that style.

Shed and Brutalism are common styles everywhere in the country. Also, the kind of Brutalism I'm referring to is the subdued and generally-orthodox variant that you can see in pic related. I wish there was just a completely separate name for this form of the style.

I think you should invest in some architectural drafting lessons and a copy of Sketchup.

>>2333631
I didn't want to spend a thousand years in Sketchup just to whip up a basic rough draft of an already-simple building. All I had in mind when I made it was those illustrations in the Field Guide to American Houses.

Seems like the sort of thing you'd only add to a building if you had a free supply of basic laborers and couldn't think of something for them to do.

It just sort of hides the shape of the roof for no reason.

Its being built on a parking lot, but point taken. I don't know if they are going to bother building a parking garage, since those lots are where everyone parks to do anything at Expo, but knowing L.A., they won't and it will be fucked even more.

Are there any architectural styles that don't actually have names? I'm mainly referring to basic "storefront styles" like pic related.
