Will postmodern architecture stand the test of time?

>>2607759
Hopefully not. It's so fucking ugly.

>>2607768
deep

>>2607759
I actually like that building, which can't be said for a lot of postmodern architecture.

>>2607759
It doesn't stand the test of right now, let alone the future

No. Not even because it's ugly but just because most projects use building materials that won't last and maintenance is impractical. Some buildings from the 70s are already crumbling.

>>2607879
This.

Buildings these days are meant to last maybe 50 years and then they need to be replaced.

As a past foundation worker I can assure you builders do it on purpose. They use cheap supplies to cut costs and it also provides them with new work as their old buildings need to be replaced.

Another reason is a lot of builders are literally retarded and simply don't know how to build a good house anymore.

how long until we get post ironic architecture? Where function trumps form so hard just to piss off the art community and intellectuals and instead we get really boring looking buildings that appease autists at how optimized they are spacially and economically?

I say it will be more of a transitional period

eventually we will find something that is actually different yet visually appealing and just base later architecture around that

that or you'll get shit like Gothic architecture where the people at the time hated it but it becomes a fucking masterpiece in the later years

is brutalism truly post modern?

>>2608226
Is this architectural vaporwave?

>>2609221
>brutalism

Where's the concrete?

>>2609221
Being part of the Modern, it isn't.

But that's not brutalism.

brutalism doesnt have to include bare concrete.

>>2609266
That looks functionalist desu

i generally dig brutalism, but in this case i prefer the colorful version.

>>2608587
This.

>>2609292
That looks painful as hell.

>>2608226
It was to hard to make an authentic looking faux ruin with the materials and knowledge available so they make a compromise with contemporary designs instead. This would be a good idea for malls or parts of them.

Came to say this.

>>2609374

looks gauche

I am of the opinion that architecture should always be of functionality first and [enter subject matter here] second, so postmodern will always rank low.

>>2609415
subjective matter* not subject

>>2609374
The upkeep for those buildings is costly and many places struggle with maintaining the historical buildings they already have.
When that type of construction was current most people lived in shacks and huts and traversed through dirt roads. There's a reason why many buildings were demolished to make way for newer, more efficient constructions after the era of industrialisation in accommodation to the growth of capitalist society.

Disneyland tier. Looks like something some romanticist late 19th century aristocrat would blow money on.

The real reason they don't last anymore is because the steel corrodes and steel is used throughout all modern structures.

>>2608319
Form follows function, always

>>2608319
>>2609541
And to add, what you're describing is modernism which we've already had (make everything as efficient as possible, architecture as well)

>>2607759
post-modernism is very necessary, that much I know
