thank you communism

liking these shitty buildings is a litmus test to decide if you are a retard
you passed the test, retard
>>79195499
they don't have to look that bad though..
It has a certain pragmatism to it. A sort of brutality or simplicity. Hard to describe. It reminds me of parts of Detroit, so maybe that isn't the best thing, but I have a sense of nostalgia for it. It definitely was not meant to be pretty.
>>79195958
'Modern' commie/socialist buildings are very common where I live.
>>79195306
I live one of these and its pretty okay.The only problem i have is pigeons and moldy wall
>>79196602
Looks worse than the public housing in New York
>>79196223
>A sort of brutality
Funny you should say that
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutalist_architecture
I kind of like it. Not to live in or see all the time, and not just bland communist apartment blocks, but the more unique brutalist buildings are certainly a refreshing change from steel and glass.
>>79196753
nah man, they are comfy as fuck.And im lucky because our house is the last in the row, so i get a nice view to the nearby park
>>79196602
why don't you fix ur moldy wall
>>79196934
well, first it was the wallpaper and i teared that down, and stuff is behind that too. Now im in that 'live and let it live' mode because its easier to do that than buy some mold killer in the store
>>79195306
>>79195624
Looks pretty damn comfy to me.
>>79196912

>>79197055
>'live and let it live'
You'd better hope your mold feels the same way, some molds are dangerously toxic.
Before communism.
>>79197055
buy some mold killer stuff mate.. you can get lungs problems etc..
>>79195958
I think that looks pretty similar as far as atheistics, just one appears to be a artist rendition which has paint and is well kept, the other (in OPs pic), not so much.
>>79197055

the ones I saw so far in Budapest have some vegetation atleast humanizing it a bit

So, would you rather live here...
>>79196339
Same, theres shitton of them where i live.
>>79197055
Do pigeons get inside? I think they make wind whistles or some shit that scare away pigeons. Some shit like that. Fake owls, idk.
And yea, I hope you don't have kids, cause the respiratory problems they'll get from the mold is gonna be worse then going to the store to buy mold killer.

Worse part about that would be having to have a car to get everywhere, I don't see a single park or store in that picture, when there should be quite a few of them. Not even a 7-11 to buy beer and smokes at, fuck that.

Didn't Soviet Union come to the conclusion that making an apartment ring like that boosts the suicide rates of everyone who lives there, so they stopped building them?

Definintely in the suburbs. Living in apartments fucking sucks. Even though suburban houses are shitty and like two meters apart, at least you have a back yard, a garage, multiple rooms, a basement, and you don't hear your fucking neighbors stomping around or yelling.

So, this building is famous "openwork house" built in 1940. The point is that it also is commieblock.
This building built from the concrete blocks with the same technology that all this ugly commieblocks in this thread.
This building was supposed to be the prototype of typical apartment in Stalin's New Moscow. But WWII happened, and and later Stalin died. And then Khrushchev come to power.

>The City's dozens of alleyways were often only 1–2 m (3.3–6.6 ft) wide, and had poor lighting and drainage.[42] An informal network of staircases and passageways also formed on upper levels, which was so extensive that one could travel north to south through the entire City without ever touching solid ground.[9] Construction in the City went unregulated, and most of the roughly 350 buildings were built with poor foundations and few or no utilities.[43] Because apartments were so small — a typical unit was 23 m2 (250 sq ft) — space was maximised with wider upper floors, caged balconies, and rooftop additions.[12][14][44] Roofs in the City were full of television antennae, clothes lines, water tanks, and rubbish, and could be crossed using a series of ladders.[45][46]

>>79202218
Yep. As you may know, food and basic items were ration during the 80-90 in Romania, mainly because Ceausescu wanted to pay off all foreign debts. Therefore, you could only find food and other basic stuff at these special created hunger circuses. People would line up from 5 in the morning up until late afternoon only to get some bread, a stripe of meat and milk.

Nice. is the building upfront a garage building? if so 10/10. The bad part about ex commie cities is that nobody anticipated the increase of owned cars and the need for parking space.
