Why do people always make fun of the Russians for their commieblocks? They don't look that bad, this is where I grew up in England
Westerners were always biased against Slavs because you are a bunch of cunts and deserve the terrorist attacks you got.
>wah wah m-muh chernobyl
It's literally nothing
>commie blocks
>not that bad
lol t. shitskin
>>74773489
I think its because of the overall design, dont get me wrong, im a bug fan of brutalism but commie blocks look horrible in a design point of view
Im sure commieblocks are the way to go but with a better architectural design
Lol guys, you just never been to China and never seen their commieblocks. Though Russian commieblocks look romantic for me born in SPb
>>74773489
I love those brutalist type concrete structures.
>>74773489
Commieblocks were built to provide as much people with rooms as possible in short time.
>>74773571
That photo isn't using natural colours, unlike the op photo.
>>74773571
that's a fcking horror show erasmus
>>74773798
Like this?
>>74773892
If it wasn't for the sorts of crime and violence around those sorts of places, I'd love to see entire city urban centres developed in the same fashion.
>>74773489
May I ask you dear sir, why you've been born and raised in state penitentiary ?
Why put in effort when Chechens (*Russian agents) will just bomb it all to rubble?
>>74773571
commieblocks are great, your city looks shit
>>74774212
more like gray-te x-----------d
>>74774058
It's Northern England council housing
>>74774408
Not all commieblocks are gray
>>74773489
they can be pretty comfy sometimes

has someone fallen straight from a window into the river
>>74774829
idk but i wouldn't be surpised if someone has jumped out in the summer
>>74773489
Would be comfy if not for the people living there
>>74774719
heh, anoter uncultured aussie, i have an old table
lmoa true culture right there
>>74773489
Excuse me, but how can you live in a place like that? It looks like its soul is extracted from it.
>>74774719
Pretty nice place, desu.
>>74773489
commieblock threads are basically commieblock appreciation ones. nobody ridicules it.
>>74773489
Bro I grew up in commie blocks but that looks like a fucking prison campus
>oh mer gerrrrd russia is like sooo depressing huhrurh
Uhm, no sweetie, that's Swindon
>>74773489
I don't mind commie blocks, they look comfy desu
>>74773489
I personally admire commieblocks.
They seem very elegant in comparison to these new hippy colorful trends. Commies did not care much about the looks so the style looks very brutal and uncaring. That's what makes it charming.
>>74773489
what is this?
>>74774719
Looks beautiful, but I would feel unwelcome in a place like that. It's too picturesque, too perfect.
>>74778433
your run of the mill council estate in england
>>74773571
Looks fucking gay. Is this Oslo pride parade or something?
This is where i live
and no commieblocks are not comfy,they are depressing and i want to commit sudoku every time i see one
>>74778521
That is in Alsace I reckon
>>74774212
Looks comfy as fuck.
>>74773892
get some urban vibe tho
not bad aczually
post MORE commieblocks
>>74773489
Is this typical british apartment???
>>74773489
Listen up you retards, commieblocks are not "comfy", they are not "aesthetic" or any other of your bullshit. They are dehumanizing and fucking depressing. I lived in one for half a year and wanted to an hero every fucking day.
>>74773571
This is comfy, this is what a European should want to live in. We are not soulless gooks.
Commieblocks are also very area efficient. Imagine what area would all the cities cover if everyone had a house.
>>74778625
These ones in Thamesmead are a bit more experimental

fuck off you lying little shite
these disgusting council units are across the country, especially down south
>>74778895
He asked where the OP was from, it's Killy which is about as far North as you can get without crossing the border
>>74778634
for the homeless and poor single parent families
The worst architecture I've ever seen was in Glasgow. I nearly shot myself there and then, fucking depressing
>>74773489
You actually lived there, lad? What was it like? I want a comfy story to read.
Commieblocks are ok when done well
Look at the Barbican in the City of London
They just usually have terrible infrustructure and environment around unlike in the UK
>>74778714
>they are not "aesthetic"
they are. and some russians are aware of it. who cares about your muh real talk, postmortem. everything comes from irl is generally boring. what matters is how you enjoy it, what you imagine from it.
>>74779398
How many people jumped in front of trains today, Yamamoto?
>>74779105
went there, it's pretty neat I'll give u that
>>74773489
This is look more depressing than russian buildings.
At least make it look somewhat interesting if you're gonna build apartment block complexes.
>>74779862
it's literally govt. housing m8, not apartments
it's for the homeless and super poor
>>74773489

You need some black gold to rid yourself of poverty.

Surrounding really plays a big role.
Pic related is the biggest housing structure in my city and I actually would like to live in one of the upper floors.

Why is it that Brit commie blocks always have to look so depressing?
>>74773571
Looks really gay
Girly at best, without the faggoty filters in photoshit
This si my commieblock heaven

I'm convinced that after the war there was a big national architect's conspiracy to make Britain look like a depressing shit hole

What's up with the elevated walkways everywhere? Do brits hate walking on ground level? Or to avoid the mud from all the rain?
just use paint
>>74781133
This, but not in such radical way as on the pic.
>>74773824
my first thought as well
>>74773489
>killingworth
what's the etymology behind this name then
>>74780587
Greece-tier
>>74773489
Commie blocks can be really cosy and attractive if done correctly
Picture related: Commie block from my home town
>parks and gardens
>brick facades
>well maintained
Most of the commie blocks were intended to look like that, the problem is that most of them weren't take care of after the fall of communism and now they look like shit
>>74782184
This another commie block from Belgrade during the 70s upon completion
The weird building is Modern Gallery and behind are the commie buildings
It looks cozy as well
>>74781805
I think it's an old Anglo-Saxon name.
>This name is of English locational origin from a place called Killingworth in Northumberland. The name means "The word of Cylla's people".
There's another place nearby called Morpeth which literally means "murder path", though.
>>74778519

most council estates consist of small semi-detached homes not tower blocks

what jail is this?

18th century
>>74787675
19th actually.
If you put well educated people with decent jobs in them they wouldn't be nearly as bad.

comfy as fuck
i'd have no problem living in one of these. problem is most britons are obsessed with owning a house and the government hardly builds any housing, especially flats/social housing
>>74773489
Commieblocks are alright, the reason why most look so ugly in Eastern Europe is because the people are too poor to maintain them.
>>74773571
except those houses suck to live in
I find it hard to tell apart commie blocks from apartment buildings
what do you consider these?

I've lived in London for a year, let me tell you about my experiences
>my apartment was on the 15th floor
> it smelt as if someone had died
>the living-room was full of flies
> the kitchen sink was blocked
>the bathroom sink not there at all
>the lift was always full of piss
>the fifth floor landing smelled of fish, not just on Friday every single other day
>kids come out at night
>they kick a ball and have a fight and maybe shoot somebody if they lose at pool
> nobody wants to be my friend 'cause I'm not from round here
>the pearly king of the Isle of Dogs feels up children in the bogs
>down by the playing fields someone sets a car on fire
At least now I know that you have to go right down before you understand just how low a human being can go
>>74781133
this one looks like shit, they should use colors but in a aesthetic way
>>74796124
north korea is pretty comfy

Woah that's really bad! Sounds like something from a third world country. Where in London was this?

Don't mean to be rude, but why do Poles and other Europeans come to work in shitty service jobs in London when these are the sorts of conditions they have to live in? I earn £30k here, and still I have to share a shit flat in an apartment block. Is it really better to earn more money in the UK and live in shit conditions than it is to be on a low wage in Poland but live in nicer conditions?
