Visisted the Barbican this weekend. Highly recommended. Brutalism done right: huge, consistent and full of greenery.

ASU is a cornucopia of dumb ideas. Life Sciences B, which is some sort of Brutalist window slit nightmare.  It is attached to the Life Sciences tower, which is in fact not a parking garage.  The power station, which looks like some sort of Star Wars-rear end piece of poo poo.  ISTB-1, which looks like a factory combined with a triangle .  Hayden Stacks, which is a library with a dry moat and seems to be a fortress.

Gyra_Solune posted:...now I legit wonder if the South has a thing for random-rear end pyramids because I work within walking distance of this in gurnee, Il there's a horrendous house in similar faux egyptian style and it's a hideous mess. its right next to a bunch of subdivisions on the outskirts of the waukeegan area  the lot is huge. seriously huge. none of the pictures truly convey the barren emptiness of the lot cause the house is 600 feet away from the gate. it's completely flat gravel with a few obelisks sticking out and the house itself isn't particularly large so it's hardly visible from the street. i didn't know there was a lake around the house cause you can't see it from the gate but i guess the owner really wanted a moat  even though it appears to have been built as a big gently caress you to everyone around it, and the long driveway and closed gate make it seem like the owner wanted maximum distance between him and the outside world - he gives tours for money and has a sign posted outside the gate.  it constantly looks in the same state of disrepair that decaying tourist attractions on route 66 have except i think it's less than 20 years old. please note the massive pile of gravel to cover up the grass attempting to grow and the cracking and sun bleached stencils on the fence nigga crab pollock fucked around with this message at 17:39 on May 6, 2015 |

also not really a failure or anything but i live in springfield missouri and the skyline here is loving hilarious. there's tons of flat and cheap land around here so there aren't many tall buildings, except for these three from the left, a dorm building built in the 70s that is filled with middle eastern exchange students, the big rear end black monolith named after and built by Our Local Patriarch, and probably the only "high rise" apartment in a 600 mile radius. no, that's not an office building, that's an apartment. *throws bone into air*

I hope the community bands together and razes the compound and everyone gets a medal for it. Jesus loving christ, it's like his entire conception of ancient Egypt comes from Bazooka Joe comics or some poo poo.

There's a banking building, an old newspaper building, and a generic office building and then nothing else is more than five stories tall (if even that high) for miles around, except for one random church belltower on the edge of downtown. e: vvvvv the Saturn V's not really "downtown" though (the replica Saturn V that's actually vertical is  though)

Am I too late to do lovely pyramids? Welcome to Stockport!   I was going to write a history of the building but I thought the David Icke forums did a better job quote:The Co-Op Bank Pyramid or Stockport Pyramid in Stockport, England is a large pyramid-shaped office block in Stockport in England. (The surrounding part of the valley of the upper Mersey has sometimes been called the "Kings Valley" after the Valley of the Kings in Egypt.)

This is a nice thread, I like it. Here's this thing in Almaty. My buddy's parents live in it.    Also in Almaty, this other thing. Don't know if it's part of the same complex as the one above or what.

strap on revenge posted:i studied architecture and regularly got criticised because my designs were too logical. if you didn't have a flowery concept behind your impractical piece of poo poo design you had to expect average marks lol. i hate architects If I'd studied architecture (I almost did) and if we'd been in the same class, I think we would have gotten along. I did an architecture summer program in high school and got called out for "aggressive symmetry" for one project. Except why would I make the thing asymmetrical if I didn't have to? It's in our nature to prefer symmetry and it also makes for logical, navigable buildings. I ended up studying industrial design, which has a number of similarities to architecture, and while I like to think that we were more pragmatic about making logical, useful things than the architects (we constantly shat on our more stupid academic buildings during class discussions, though I did later learn the architects at my school hated all the same buildings the designers did (maybe there's hope for the future of architecture)), but I definitely remember getting dinged for my deadpan "but the glass is twice as big as it needs to be  "-type design solutions because they weren't creative or experimental enough or whatever the gently caress.Also, this is like a stubby and bad version of PPG Place (which is awesome):

It's actually a very liberating school of architecture, for you see its simplicity makes it available to all people and thus is innately a celebration of the common man, freed from the bonds of aristocratic columns and such bourgeoisie elements as gables, and furthermore Le Corbusier.

The only people who genuinely like Brutalism are old people that want to appear like they're creating a modern renaissance, and goons who played Wolfenstein when they were kids and came all over the screen when they saw Hitler's badass castle.

Brutalism has hints of clear intentionality and a mindset of permanence, a fantasist escape from the futureless tedium we persist in. Man.

Brutalism alone is ugly. Brutalism with greenery owns and is like a metaphor for some ideological whats-it that I've always taken for granted and thus don't notice and aren't thinking of.
