Post depressing architecture

Grandly bleak and thanks!

I'm not depressed enough

The first pic looks similar to my old apartment in russia when i was a kid. All it does it make me feel nostalgic lol.

I think you mean brutalist architecture.

>>2878763

Hey now, I grew up in a place like that. It was great. More so because of the sense of community than anything else, but still.

Those are more commonly known as commie blocks.

I don't know, maybe it's because I'm a Slav, but I don't see anything depressing about it.

>>2880711
Brutalist is oppressively themed, but this thread is asking for depressively themed architecture.
Architecture that evokes a feeling of sadness rather than authoritarianism.

Does anyone have pictures of Battersea Power Station?

Are you saying Sears tower is a bad example? Because imho it's one of the best looking skyscrapers out there.

i dont have any hr pics, but look up the "Arcitechture and Graphic Design University of Buenos Aires".

it was built during a dictatorship, and its terrible
(unless you enjoy depression)

>>2891252
Maybe some think it's depressing because the majority look down on this sorta building and only the few enjoy it and get that warm and cozy feeling when seeing such works of art.

>>2891252
the pics are depressing just because of lighting and weather

The only depressing things ITT are the run-down ramshackle slums. Dark, misty buildings are beutiful.

If you want to see depressing, go to a Texas/NewMexico/Nevada suburban strip mall parking lot. Those big, bright, no-trees motherfuckers, with a Panda express or TJ Max adjoined to them.

this thread makes me SAADD

Some of these buildings simply need a good pressure wash and a lick of paint.
Do they not have paint in Russia?

>>2888851
To me there is a lot of beauty in structures like this. The sheer length of the building and all the columns and steps are majestic and grand in a way.

>>2888851
Not depressing. In reality this wouldve been a coloful summer in germany. Red banners flowing in the wind, grass as green as the dankest weed and marble and stone stairs as white and fair as the people who live there.

>>2890991
>not a single car
>no roads
>full of niggers
This is sad and and dangerous.

>>2883616
You too huh?

>>2887389
To me the main building isn't that bad, a good power wash and a nice new coat of paint would do wonders, though.
But i really dislike the smaller buildings surrounding it, they make the whole complex look crowded and busy.

If the surrounding buildings where level around it it wood look much, much better.

On an other note, when was this build? I can't really date it.
On the one hand, the style of the surrounding buildings (especially with the concrete) look like the 70's, but it doesn't look like something build in 70's behind the iron curtain. But maybe i am giving Czechoslovakia not enough credit here, i am not really familiar with the architectural trends there...

>>2883921
what the fuck is depressing about that, spoilt pussy

Go to russia and then complain about your sunny, modern, glasswalled, colourful building that seems to be next to a clean body of water

It doesn't look depressive in this old 80's picture (guess it's the warm tones and all), and I cannot find a bigger rez of it from this angle.

But today it's really worn out and has a lot of "bleedings" on the concrete and all. Both the football stadium and the indoor pools you see before it.

Poljud football stadium, one of iconic Yugo architecture stuffs. (Altho nowhere as impressive as WW2 monuments)

>>2882241
What you call masterpieces most people call depressing concrete blocks barely worth to be used as an outhouse.

>>2890953
That's kinda surreal, like from a sci-fi movie

There's also this long ass concrete building on a German island, "Koloss von Prora" a real blister in an otherwise nice environment. It was built by the nazis and is now even under cultural heritage protection. I don't have an hr picture of it though sorry

A neo germanic empire would have probably looked pretty cool had they won. But lets face it. All this shit would be in urban decay today after some sort of economic collapse, just like the soviets.

>>2965555
Nice assumption.
Only capitalism can succeed amirite?
More likely it would never have reached the point in that picture in the first place and we probably wouldn't even have gone to space on account of no one competing for that achievement. We wouldn't even have gone to the moon let alone mars.

>In China, a "nail house" is a home whose resident refuses to leave in order to make way for new construction. Builders have to elaborately construct around it, often leaving behind an eyesore so awesome that it's almost a sculpture. Here are some of the most famous examples of nail houses.

Some of these buildings have been build. So we can prove your thesis. A good example is "das Reichsluftfahrtministerium" ( Imperial Ministry of Aviation). It survived the war, was in the eastern part of Berlin so it had to endure all the problems of soviet economy. There are absolutely no signs of decay. And it looked this way all the time. Even in the communist era.

Aside from turning a beautiful church and city into a downtrodden slum, and the shabby, poorly done architecture, the picture documents racist cultural appropriation by a pseudo-fascist, supremacist regime. (Like liberals try it with the Statue of Liberty.) I cannot imagine that you will condone that, given that the UN wants to outlaw such practices.

All new subdivisions look boring and stale when they are new. But after a couple of decades of tress growing in them they develop quite a bit of character. I bet the one in this photo is a really nice neighborhood now.

suburban communities isolate people, they destroy the socialization process because there's nothing outside those doors where people can gather, and everything can be reached only by cars.

>>2944140
unless they are shitholes like Baltimore, Detroit, Cleveland, those cities are decayed because the money went to develop the suburbs instead of fixing the problems downtown. That's fucking depressing.

I never understood those pictures. I mean, it's China. Can't they just order police to move them out forcefully? Why bother with building around them?

>>2977756
Actually that one looks like a quite nice place to live.

Having gardens on all the bottom half of prefab houses, having swimming pools at the roofs are both good ideas...
Houses are probably aligned to catch most of noon Sun?

China hadn't really been communist for quite a while now. I actually googled the problem of nail houses and found this gem in wikipedia;
>In one case in 2007, one family among 280 others at the location of a six-story shopping mall under construction at the location of a former "snack street" in Chongqing refused for two years to vacate a home their family had inhabited for three generations.[7] Developers cut their power and water, and excavated a 10-meter deep pit around their home.[8][13] The owners broke into the construction site, reoccupied it, and flew a Chinese flag on top. Yang Wu, a local martial arts champion, used nunchakus to make a staircase to their house, and threatened to beat any authorities who attempted to evict him.[8] His wife, a restaurateur named Wu Ping who had planned to open a restaurant in the home's ground floor, granted interviews and frequent press releases to generate publicity.[9] The owners turned down an offer of 3.5 million yuan (US $453,000), but eventually settled with the developers in 2007.
The part about the martial artist caught me off-guard. I guess even China can be cool sometimes.
