The only thing Liebeskind does well is stairs, that's all he should be allowed to do from now on. This is in the German Jewish Museum in Berlin, and it's otherworldly to stand on the top step.

Until I saw that, one could have made an argument the Neuschwanstein belonged in this thread. At least in comparison to Neu-Neuschwanstein you can't claim that anymore.

The now closed World of Darkness at the Bronx Zoo in NYC was a hideous concrete fortress, but the bats it contained were always awesome. There aren't very many good pictures of it on the internet.

Dick Trauma posted:It is. This thread needs more 60s and 70s poo poo. Many years ago, someone made a thread about a copy of a 1968 edition of Better Homes and Gardens they had found and it had some stuff in it which was just sublime. The most popular images was this: Which even inspired a user to not only take it as his avatar, but to change his username to "HERE ARE THE loving TOWELS".
