Maybe old Greek/Roman buildings were originally painted, but their colors faded over the years. Like how they used to paint their statues.



Actually, that could be a cool idea for a photoshop thread. "Paint the brutalist building".

Those colors are the base coats and primers. That would be like saying all canvas paintings would look like Gesso.

We have no clue what they really looked like, but I'd bet '100% realistic'.

The Iceland opera house (Harpa) is amazing, and the first modern building I've been in that made me feel good spend a lot of time inside looking at all the views and surfaces.

Add a bounce pad and some railgun ammo and it's a Quake 3 level.

What do you want to know?

Horror stories about contractors not knowing how to properly form concrete and literally ruining a multi-million dollar building?

How loving up a single number on a plan can cost millions of dollars?

So I can't post pictures or go into a ton of specifics because (a) it will give away where I work and (b) there are still some pending lawsuits on these.

Thank you, this is awesome.

My mother was in retail property management - basically handled shopping malls from construction to keeping it together when it was full of tenants and shoppers - and I did clerical work there to help pay my way through college.

I knew about the gently caress-ups she dealt with, but nothing on that scale.
