Lutha Mahtin posted:this looks like it's straight out of a claymation film Will Vinton's original claymation art style was literally inspired by Antoni Gaudi. quote:At the same time, Vinton became infatuated with the organic, free-flowing work of Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí, and began pursuing a degree in architecture. “You really couldn’t emulate his buildings with T-squares and straight edges,” he tells us. “So I started to work with clay as a medium for creating structures.” Corek fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Dec 14, 2015 |

Consist posted:When it comes to an actual architectural design failure, nothing in Los Angeles beats Pershing Square. I used to work right next to Pershing Square. Never sure how they got off calling it a park when there's about 100 sq ft of green space, and the rest is concrete/paving stones. And the entrances only at the corners/ in the middle made the whole thing feel inaccessible for what should be a park in the middle of downtown. The office has since moved to Old Pasadena, and its quite a step up from downtown LA.

C.M. Kruger posted:http://gothamist.com/2015/12/12/photos_the_khaleesi_is_the_most_ins.php You fuckers beat me to the Final Fantasy joke! This building is neat, but way too overdone. If it were toned down just a little bit, it would actually look pretty good. Still better than most of the buildings in this thread. Speaking of Manhattan, I read an article in NatGeo recently about how there are about 40 new skyscrapers planned or already being built. Nearly all of them are ugly. If they aren't the usual glass rectangle, they are some weird shape (also glass, never enough glass). Apparently people are complaining because the buildings on a street known as "billionaire row" are going to leave central park in perpetual darkness or something. Anyone know more about that?

Billionaire's Row is 57th street, which runs east-west just to the south of Central Park. The proposed buildings there are much taller than anything else around (some nearly the height of One WTC) and could significantly increase shadows cast on the south end of the park. The problem with Billionaire's Row isn't so much architectural design as in the way they're being used as tax shelters for foreign oligarchs rather than housing for residents who contribute to the local economy. The incentives this creates for developers are exacerbating the city's extant affordable housing issues.

Behold an Art Decco monstrosity. It's hard to get an idea how big this place is.   J/K art decco is nice I just don't know why they couldn't carry the theme with the other buildings they added.

The architecture of the buildings in that gallery is excellent in my opinion, particularly on the exteriors. The inside is a bit too overwhelming, but I really like the shapes on the building's exteriors. The green building in particular looks very nice. Not my favorite kind of architecture, but it is far better than most "artsy" architecture.

That's the kind of thing that would only work in an area that already had a bright local style, but if they fit, they're great.

And every time you try to go to the doctor (Kaiser's like giant SoCal offices surround the place) you get like 100 people saying "oh come to a free movie" and literally surrounding you with their scientology.

IzzyFnStradlin posted:To be fair, most construction workers don't know what the gently caress they're doing, and most foremen are drunk and lazy. When my parents built a new house, my Dad hired 3rd parties to "inspect the inspectors" and they found so much poo poo wrong with the build job. I worked for a summer inspecting school building fire alarms. We were constantly updating the plans with discrepancies in how the school had been built...still finding them years after the last remodel. They're called "as-builts." My favorites were the chem-lab-equipped high school with fewer smoke detectors than the average elementary school (happened to be my high school), and the firewall that ran like half the length of a (different) high school building but only extended up to the suspended ceiling. The "fix" for that one was to put three smoke detectors above the ceiling in that hallway.
