Welcome to Stockport!



I was going to write a history of the building but I thought the David Icke forums did a better job

This looks like something out of the future era in SimCity, but the player just unlocked that tier so everything else is still realistically modern-day.

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.

It's not poorly constructed (quite the opposite, by the looks of it), but what possible point could it serve?

Listen, sometimes you just want a good place to perch up with your rifle and shoot the local wildlife. Where else are you gonna get a better angle on those squirrels and raccoons than the comfort of your own home??

You can see that there are on both floors in the first pic. You'd think the building contractor would just own up to lovely unstable balconies instead of pretending you aren't supposed to stand on them when there are doors that lead there and all. :v:

Interestingly that pic doesn't include the foundation, which I have made a mockup of here (outlined in green for extra visibility):

The Vegas strip is basically just a gigantic "who can build the gaudiest most eye-attracting building of all" contest and there's no uniformity and it looks like something out of a fever dream.

Buildings that look good without literally falling apart because of what they are made of, for one

Thankfully the real building appears to still be an architectural failure so it all balances out.

I remember that level in Bioshock, good to see it got rescued from the ocean where all the concrete and stuff would've eventually worn away.

this building looked like a cheap styrofoam prop and I'm glad it's dead

It kinda looks like you could just pick it up and toss it around because it's actually really light despite looking heavy. I think it might be the bricks near the bottom.

Why do brutalist architects hate windows and sunlight so much?

The padded cells where they usually live don't have any windows so they don't know what that's supposed to look like.
