On the Topic of Architecture

[The Nuclear Fist]

I'm a big fan of brutalism, personally. Perhaps minimalist after that.

Though the best architecture is non-euclidean.

Don't hate it 'cause you ain't it.

[New Werpland]

I prefer neoclassicism but I also admire modernism, minimalism and even Brutalist architecture. That being said, I absolutely abhor Postmodern architecture.

Postmodern Architecture is an eyesore

ugh

As the OP of the contemporary art thread, I request you to put an URL to my thread, so you can "satisfy the copyright".

Fucking top kek.

Time for some lovely pictures to counteract all the modernist rubbish in this thread, I think.

The Natural History Museum, London- a fine example of 19th century Romanesque Revival architecture.

L'Hôtel des Invalides, built in the Baroque style of 17th century France.

Wills Memorial Building, a magnificent early 20th century Neo-Gothic tower that is part of Bristol University.

Corvin Castle, Romania- a magnificent Gothic-Renaissance castle built by John Hunyadi, Voivode of Transylvania.

Greenock Sheriff Court is an example of Scottish Baronial architecture.

Matsumoto Castle is one of my favourite examples of traditional Japanese architecture.

The Honkan Gallery of the Tokyo National Museum combines traditional Japanese architecture with some Western influences. I think it's beautiful.

You should be informed that your opinion is not fact and everyone has their own interests, likes, and dislikes.
Just because you don't like modernism or minimalism doesn't mean it's rubbish. It means you don't like it.
You should, however, respect that others do like it.

For example, I fucking hate gothic grand, ornate, and baroque architecture.
But I couldn't care less that other people like it.
It just doesn't appeal to me.

It does not have to be either/or you know.

I like numbers 2, 4, and 6.
The rest aren't so interesting.
Your list is missing some Russian architecture.

I like the Saint Basil's Cathedral, and the Kizhi Pogost.

Some nice modernist buildings;

I read the first one as Schrodinger's House and imagined all the residents were simultaneously alive and dead.
But yeah, I like most of those.

I never liked houses that use a lot of glass, personally.

I always think of the Peanuts character with the piano.

It's a good way to allow natural light to enter the house, I am all for it.

I have a love for Spanish Colonial architecture and Traditional Dutch architecture. I can't say that I'm a huge fan of modernist architecture. Too plain for my taste, but that's just me.

[Valica]

I know I've been riding minimalist modernism's dick this whole thread, so I'll mention a couple others:

I love colonial American and feudal Japanese architecture. I want to visit both Boston and Kyoto one day.
I have a friend that lives in Boston, so that's more likely to happen first.

I don't like Colonial American architecture. It seems a bit...bland, to be honest. But, I love Japanese architecture, specifically traditional and feudal Japanese architecure. The same can be said for feudal Korean architecure, it's beautiful.

All are beautiful buildings, espcially the Matsumoto Castle. I love traditional Japanese architecure.

Fan of Classical and Hellenistic (Roman and Greek), Gothic, Imperial Russian, and Imperial Chinese styles. Could also go for Egyptianesque and Islamic architecture.

It's like the early 1960s all over again. Tell me, did you like the movie The Incredibles?

I have to disagree about that "nice" part.

Yeah, can't stand them too much. My favorite building would probably be the Hagia Sophia.

[Kirskmonia]

Just love victorian and art deco personally

Spanish Colonial Style architecture look good. When it comes to modern designs with Glass, the less Glass the better. Glass offers zero security and when it breaks its really awful to clean up. Yes, you could buy glass with intergrated wire. Or that glass which has a transparent plastic sheet so when it should not shatter if it breaks.

That's absolutely amazing architecure. I feel lucky to live in Arizona, a state near Mexico, which features lots of beautiful Spanish Colonial architecure.
