>They tend to be eyesores if surrounded by buildings in other styles, but that's pretty much true for any other style of architecture.
The biggest shame in architecture. I wish cities would have some balls and enforce stricter codes.
>They look fine if surrounded by nature (pic related), and look magnificent in organized building blocks.
I actually like many of the designs of brutalism, as well as the "ethos" but it's pretty much doomed to fail because bare concrete almost unfailingly looks decrepit after a short time, leading to buildings looking dated and rotten.

So many of these designs would look better painted.

If a commieblock were well-made, comfortable, and the property maintained, would it really be that ugly?

It would still be shit and it would fall into disrepair soon. The only value commieblocks ever had was the fact you could mass produce them, pure quantity over quality.

No, brutalism is pretty fucking bad. Most people with souls take into account, at least a bit, that a great amount of people have to look at their shit all day.

Style regardless of material you mean? Because the reason they look the way they look is because they're made from pre-fabricated concrete panels that can be mass produced.

Of course, you just have to build it properly in the first place, and also have a plan that doesn't make water gather in every courner. Hard to do with a brutalist style though.
Concrete can actually be a very elegant and beautiful material, you just need to know how to use it. It also helps if you have a high budget and not having your sense of aesthetics all fucked up.

Started in 1882 and still not done; the head architect only saw 25% of the building completed but it was already revolutionary.

I don't think so. They were first persecuted in the 9th century alongside with the buddhists and later synthesized into various folk religions and underground societies like Mingjiao (sometimes seen as the origin of the Ming dynasty by conspiracists), Bailianjiao and even triads in the early 20th century who later formed KMT. They are Zoroastrians if you think the Theseus ship is still the original one.

I'm not saying state enforced necessarily. I just think it's retarded to give planning permission to some futurist glasshouse in an 18th century neighbourhood, for example. Build that shit elsewhere.

I've been to places without building regulations. They're fucking retarded looking.

Nobody wants to live in an ugly neighbourhood. Nothing "muh feels" about house prices and gentrification.

You understand the contradiction, yes?
Who are "we" and where do "we" get the power to decide what style can be used on a building that we do not own?

Is the price of your house enought to justify prohibiting another man to build his as he prefers? Save for safety measures of course.

I doubt architecture has been as censored as other forms of art, but this would be akin to prohibiting exibits of certain style of paintings, or certain genre of songs. Definitely hindersome for architecture, and any other art, is to restrict the freedom needed for it to blossom.

Didn't the Sassanids at Ctesiphon create the largest overhanging arches in the Classical era?

>>422674
Is that the one near Northwestern University? I've been in there.

Can some architects here explain to me how new artstyles are developed usually? Is it just the emergence of new building materials or is also related to art movements being transferred to architecture? What are some new building materials people are using/thinking of using and what are the trends currently in architecture.

>>421241
Best architecture is half timbered houses. Doesn't get any better, ever.

How long until we see something on par with Art Nouveau again? Nearly 100 years on and we're still stuck in the same frame of mind when it comes to creating buildings with ornament.
