Yikes. You might need to explain this to the non-Finns, though.

A bit late to this chat, but a few thoughts on this:Facebook Aunt posted:This isn't exactly crappy, it just struck me as a bit strange. FISHMANPET posted:It's pretty common for design guidelines or boards providing discretionary approval of projects to encourage poo poo like "breaking up the massing" because heaven forbid anyone perceive a large building. Everybody, architects and residents alike, think stuff like this looks like poo poo. I think only a couple hundred people in the US even like it, it just so happens those people are the ones sitting on those boards and commissions approving these projects. Nope, it's very much an architect thing. I've been on a discretionary board like you described for some years now and bargain bin deconstructivism is just the default style* of today. What's deconstructivism, you ask? Wikipedia posted:Deconstructivism is a movement of postmodern architecture which appeared in the 1980s. It gives the impression of the fragmentation of the constructed building, commonly characterised by an absence of obvious harmony, continuity, or symmetry. Like most architectural styles emphasizing individual creativity instead of hard design rules, it looks really unimpressive when done on a budget. I believe the reason why this has become the default style is that most architecture schools havr you do piles and piles of impossibly cool (and expensive) designs. Unfortunately architecture is a lot like the fashion industry in that almost everyone goes into it with dreams of doing bespoke haute couture and 99.9% end up designing print t-shirts for Walmart. When you venture out into the real world and suddenly have to work on a budget, you often end up whittling down your designs until they become Wish.com versions of the stuff you designed in school. * Most architects will rather die than admit to designing to style today, but it's mostly self-delusion, they all follow recognizable stylistic trends anyway.

Leperflesh posted:huh? We should probably set up an FAQ about this, given how regularly this gets discussed The Nordic countries typically mandate outwards facing doors since the 1800s, after a number of incidents where dozens of people died in fires or stampedes in churches that had doors that opened inwards. And no, our front doors can't be stolen off the house because the hinges have built-in jamb pins.

The rooflines also seem McMansion-style complicated and I suspect architects don't do a lot of joint detail drawings for them.
