I have developed a sort of litmus test to weed out the shills from /pol/'s general population
Do you find this building aesthetically pleasing?
Your test based on "jewish brutal architecture" sucks my man.
Kinda
>>79897291
That building looks like the architect decided halfway through that he doesn't want to copy the Space Needle anymore, he wants to try making American-style skyscrapers and just left the old structure up.
>>79897291
it's ugly
I enjoy brutalist architecture, so yes.
Disgusting.
>>79897291
What a badass name for an architectural style.
Brutalism sounds like a heavy metal band.
>>79897291
Pretty shit test. Did you know mods delete these 'architecture taste' threads pretty quickly?
it's interesting, but not aesthetically pleasing
Who cares about muh aesthetics. Form and function.
>>79897291
garbage but who cares
>>79897291
It doesn't conform to "normal" architectural style.
It looks like it's in the middle of nowhere.
It has a big "fuck you" air-traffic control tower on it.
Yep, I like it.
i like it
function > form
>>79897291
I dont know but it really makes me think about #FeelingTheJohnson
>>79897634
does architecture hurt your feelings?
>>79897665
>Aesthetics are useless
>Uses unnecessary picture
>>79897718
lolwut?
No, brutalism is pretty cool. You sound new, otherwise you'd know these threads are pruned quickly.
Protip: lurk more
looks like a prison
Real beauty comes from within you big meanie
>>79897291
Oh yes, so do this.
I would love to live in a brutalist city.
>>79897291
looks fucking dank
Brutalism is awful. Nothing beats Romanesque
>>79897291
>Do you find this building aesthetically pleasing?
No, but I do like it.
>>79897291
>commieblocks glued to a shitty revolving tower
No
The true "litmus test" is that the shills are not posting in these threads, but rather creating them.
>>79897864
This is good but OP is trash, its ugly and asymmetrical for no reason
>>79897291
Its not symmetrical so its shit.
>>79897864
looks magfuckineato
>>79897291
Yes. Big steel and glass abominations not making you feel speshul enuf?
>>79897291
Eh I can go either way, there's ugliness and not ugliness in the design
>>79897291
Something cool about the linkage at the top. Basically pretty ugly, but unique and charming in a way. I'd like to have an apartment near to the top, by the skybridge and under the tower.
All in all, thumbs up from me.
>>79897291
Looks stupid t b h family.
>>79897864
See, I like this one.
Looks pretty brutal. OP's sucks.
OP's looks like a bored 7 year old sloppily made some lego thing, and somebody designed a building out of it.
>>79897864
this is far more aesthetically pleasing than the OP
not all brutalism is equal
>>79897291
Kinda cool
>>79897291
From the thumbnail it looks really good
but once u actually look at the tower you see it is very VERY UGLY. crooked, uneven it looks like some 14 year old made it
>>79897291
yes its beautiful
>>79898098
It takes the environment and says fuck it. The building itself makes for community. All brutalist structures do. They are like piazze. Look at the heating duct. Up one side. And a big fuck you to Al Gore. One half residences. One half offices. A nice big dildo clock in the middle. What's not to love? Bunch of Plebes
>>79897665
>Place looks like shit

Congrats on making the quality of life of anyone living near it plummet nigger
Just look at this beauty.
>>79897864
looks appropriate for a court building famalam
>>79898255
Nope. They were designed with beauty functionality and communalism all in one. Modern phone zombie squares don't understand. My penis was exposed in a locker room. Waaaah
>>79897702
What the hell is the function you filthy kike?
>>79898263
Fucking bad ass. Why wouldnt you surf down that aesthetic touch?
>>79898378
Read my posts
>>79897365
This. If I was a shill it would be pretty clear to answer no
>>79897864
Needs ramparts and cannon.

>>79898549
I like concrete. I like the forms' kookiness. Crucify me
>>79897864
looks awful, there are no windows.
>>79898675
Muh windows. Get back to work. Boss aint payin rent for you to have earbuds in your ears off in space. Also there is translucent concrete now and this style is back in vogue. Suck it
>>79898263
That shit is brutal as fuck.
Looks like some kinda space empire's hotel for tourists visiting a death planet.
I love it.
>>79898786
It makes you have things to think about when youre bored
>>79898769
Humans will actually start to freak out in a room with no windows anon.
>>79898675
Brutalist can have windows too.
>>79898402
I did.
Nothing you said supports a design based on function. It's an autistic conglomeration of half-formed ideas on par with Homer Simpson's car.
>>79898888

>>79898644
You enjoy making things look as lifeless as possible because of some fetish and then the people in the area have to live with it
>>79897626
Too bad it looks so lame
>>79898918
Yeah. One non byzantine wasteful heating duct. Half residences. Half offices. And a big dildo calendar with a restaurant or penthouse? You can't get more functional than that, Sven
>>79898911
This is wonderful though. Love it.
>>79899008
And you blind me with glass and aluminum and rust and postmodernism like wrought-iron deer scaling the sidea of your HP dildo computer towers
>>79899015
You can have both, just in different cities.
I think a city should have a distinct style so when you see a picture of any street you say "Hey, that's X" without any other clues.
>>79898263
this would be at home in the Galactic Empire
>>79898675
It's a court house, the lack of windows is fine in that case.
>>79898263
Does it change into a giant robot or what?
>>79899200
Not much more and it'll look like afuckin' spaceship.
Not really. Good concept, could work with improvement.
>>79898911
is that brutality? just looks poorly maintained. Add some paint and it'll actually look pretty futurist
My college is full of buildings like this. It literally looks like Soviet Town in the winter, completely depressing. Pic related is the main administration building
>this is ugly
>>79897291
I like it, but why's the building on the right shorter? Should be same height. Also the central tower should either be in the middle or there should be two towers.
Roger Stevens Building – Leeds
https://brutalistconstructions.com/2015/02/23/roger-stevens-building-leeds/
>>79899134
Or just make a building that doesn't look like it came from a massproduction stamp so that you don't stop to think about how useless you are in this planet and how if you died there would be people with your same identical qualities in every nearby town?

yes, but I have a thing for soviet bloc architecture
>>79899015
the interior is extremely disappointing
>>79899045
Yes.
Half residences.
Half offices.
Whose only means of connection is a tiny bridge at the top(!) of the building meaning that there's no efficient way for people in one half of the building to get to the other. With a revolving restaurant slapped on the top for no reason.
It's fucking Homer's car.
The fact you're obsessed with those heating ducts only reinforces the impression of autism.

Muh Bob Ross life is colour and individualism. Nah. There is beauty is sadness or suffering. It has their points and purposes too
>>79899792
Weren't you claiming the building design places function over form?
Unless the function of your design was to create an inefficient building it's clearly not very functional.
>>79899928
Is it even possible for you to be more Jewish?
>>79899947
Don't you blind niggers see the geometry in these designs? Nothing is random. Its all utilised in the least amount of space whilst still being ultramodern. Take your glass piles and go

Jesus christ, I'm a gloomy fuck too but being in a gloomy shithole can only make it worse
Brutalism comes from the French word for raw Concrete.
I don't particularly like this one because I am familiar first with the Space Needle, and this just looks like a redneck put an addition on the Space Needle, but in general I like Brutalist architecture.
It somehow always looks abandoned, or like a dystopian universe that didn't come to be.
Almost like seeing an old dog alone, that, if someone would have fed it, could have been a great and fearsome pet...
(What the fuck! How can 4chanpol spellcheck not have dystopian? Anybody else weirded out by the lack of words in this thing's vocabulary?)

It's funny that you say that, UIC has a Marxist newspaper that unironically calls for the downfall of capitalism along with fliers posted everywhere demanding a revolution and an end to white supremacy and patriarchy
>>79900198
Even boys are my own side (there are practically none of us) might be a bit weak. I will settle this as merely an aesthetic difference. Im also Italian. So there's that
>Brutalist architecture
>Not the Brick and Mortar Jew
We need to start neo-gothic revival.
>>79899690
moving space is a serious concern with co-habitated work/living buildings. If the whole thing was one solid block and everyone simply walked to the other end of the hall to reach their office they would probably go even more bubble-crazy than the current design would endow
>>79900277
Dead wheat and clay is not animate. Iron is not animate. Nonody is special. Only Christ
>>79900167
Honestly i've seen more pretty mixes than pures.
There's something so very dull about many purebreds that it's hard to place, i'm inclined to call it inbreeding but it's more like their appearance somehow implies a mind as slow as solid tar.
>>79900028
>Don't you blind niggers see the geometry in these designs? Nothing is random
So form over function in other words?
>>79897291
No, it looks like communist dogshit.
I don't know what it is about communists, but they just have no sense of style, even when they're given free reins to be experimental.
The nazis did it far better, by making huge, imposing structures that were also sleek and stylish. Commie stuff is just depressing. It's like they have no sense of form or aesthetics.
>>79897291
It looks like a grain silo fucked an office building that fucked communist block housing that fucked a radio tower.
>>79900384
>Muh fairy tales is the only thing that's special
Opinion discarded *fedora tip*
Ugly as shit, but should it have gold somewhere if you were fishing for jews?
>>79900554
No. You get both when you do only-brutalism's application of its form you mong. How else to get function than geometry? You're plebes. Everybody hates brutalism. Everybody wants to feel like a fucking special snowflake autist. Well guess what. These buildings enforce productivity and you don't like that

The ironic part is that building is a prime example of function genuinely dictating form. Which only goes to show that most of this modern "function>form" nonsense is actually just the elevation of kike ideology (alienation, self-loathing,dehumanization, etc) over both function and form.

>>79900393
I want my future dystopia to be brutalist.
Brutalism has its' place IMHO. In colder climates where more windows = higher heating costs and for government/administrative buildings to project an air of uniformity. The college I went to had several buildings built in the late 60s to mid 70s in this style and honestly, as academic buildings, they worked from a functional level.
