I love these. For once, I agree with the strayan >>69382156

The rest of the buildings posted so far really look like trash, though.

>modernist architecture is bad because it doesn't account for my bourgeois special snowflake complex
why do rich people always get buttmad when encountered with the fact that modernism can offer a better standard of living to poor people? is it because it makes rich people less exceptional?

Goldfinger's towers are absolutely gorgeous.

Funny fact: Ian Fleming named the Bond villain after him because he was butthurt by brutalism.

They couldn't get a permission to demolish that old house, so instead they renovated it and built the actual building around it. What a waste of money.

>>69385511
Who owns the deed to the old house?
If it's not them, then they shouldn't be allowed to take up space above the house.

>muh purity
Most people seem to think of everything built before 1920 as "timeless, classy architecture", totally disregarding the diversity among the pre-modernist architecture. When you say "historical" city centre, you imply that everything there somehow belongs to the same style, just because it is one spatial unit.

However, even within these "historical city centres", there is a diversity of buildings from different eras.

Modern architecture doesn't ruin the "purity" of an area, because in most cases, there was no purity in the first place.

>>69387187
It does though, because city centers are the only spot where we can afford to maintain the old all in one place. Everywhere else old stuff gets torn down to make way for new stuff. There's already enough new stuff in the world, no need to put it into our city centers, too.

Every single one of the "old" buildings you see took the place of an even older building, which had to be demolished. Maybe people back then also said what you're saying now.

To be fair though, Palace of the Republic was torn down mainly because it consisted of 120% asbestos.

>>69387498
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_the_Republic,_Berlin#Asbestos_contamination

>Just prior to German reunification in October 1990, the structure was found to be contaminated with asbestos, and was closed to the public on 19 September 1990, by decree of the Volkskammer. By 2003, all the asbestos had been removed along with internal and external fittings allowing either safe reconstruction or safe deconstruction.

He pursued an idealistic and alienating planning style of comprehensive standardization, and if he had been in charge of more entire districts instead of just singular buildings they would've become the same landscapes of loosely scattered authoritarian blocks as the American housing projects and Soviets as a whole churned out. His vision was dog shit.

Truly greatest ally.

>brutalism can provide a better standard of living to poor people

it's literally designed to be as cheap as possible and the ugliness of the design itself causes crimes

>>69387666
That type of planning gives more room to greenery. Ever noticed that modernist architecture does landscaping, while more liberal architecture (i.e. New York) tends to be grid based, flat and devoid of greenery?

Pic related was torn down in 1950 to make way for your god awful hunk of socialist symbolism. I'm fucking glad the Palace of the Republic is gone. Good riddance.

My grandfather used to live in that building for 2 years.

>>69387775
The problem is that these kinds of plans rarely took into account the communal needs of the inhabitants.

Sure, but the increased scale between buildings makes the public space an impersonal and undesirable experience.

Maybe if you hate chillin' in parks.

I live in what you'd call a commieblock, with a lot of space and greenery between the towers. Almost everytime i leave my flat, I see children playing and old people sitting on benches and bantering. No one here seems to find it as "undesirable" as you describe.
