ITT:we post god-tier Architecture
university of Lyon
Nearly all of these line drawings look good only on paper and not IRL. I have no idea why it is so but it is.
Trust me, pic related looked magnificent on paper too.
Maybe brutalism was such a pure idea that there's no way to bring it into reality without tainting it.

Tadao Ando is a favorite architect of mine
he does a very elegant mix of japanese and brutalist/modern aesthetics

I don´t know a name for this style, but this looks like a concept Nazi architect Albert Speer could have created.
>>1145675
brutalism or late modernism

>>1145675
Several of the ones you quoted are futurism (of early fascism fame) check SantElia work.
Wolfenstein design is closer to Speer work on steroids.
I always loved houses with this kind of modern architecture. But I always question how practical they really are. I feel like they're nothing more than expensive art projects and people don't actually live in them.
Is there a specific name for the stern and more geometric variant of Art Deco? "Art Deco" seems like an inconveniently broad term. Anyhow, it's definitely my favourite architectural style.

Mies van see Rohe is absolute God-tier. This is the main downtown branch of the Toronto Dominion Bank. It looks like a Greek temple crossed with Space Odyssey.
Cool as fuck.
>>1145660
because they're a traditionally minimalistic culture, which is quite unique even among other asians
though not always been, there's a certain time when preference for simple and undecorated become more preferable over ostentatious decoration of the previous era, it happened around 16th century i think.
it seems that japanese minimalism has more to do with religion and spirituality than sleekness and efficiency of western le corbusier inspired minimalism
a zen garden or a japanese tea house would fit in fine with cubist or minimalist modern building for example
>tfw not living in a nice retro futurist world

check out kengo kuma, his architecture fells very "japanese", much more than ando probably

It doesn't fit into the Roman cityscape at all. Plus it's a nationalist monument.

It's fucking huge, gaudy, blindingly pale, & tasteless.
Il Duce wanted to symbolize the rebirth of the Roman Empire, but all he did was make a giant eyesore that you can see throughout the entire city.
>>1147503
A lot of American architecture is based off some kind of European influence and is fucking atrocious.
There is something with Stripped Classicism that hits all the right places
>>1147565
They really did a good job with the lighting on the Vienna Opera.
>>1147503
"Roman"
Romans were very clean and didn't decorate their shit with gold and statues everywhere. It's a bastardization of Roman architecture, which makes it even worse.
>>1147680
Thing is, at least you can claim disasters like the Washington monument are at least symbolic and in that sense, while ugly, have SOME significance.
Della Patria is more insulting than inspiring. It exists only to stroke nationalist egos and to coat it in thousands of tons of low-quality statues and engravings. It spits on Roman sensibilities.
>>1146869
>a zen garden or a japanese tea house would fit in fine with cubist or minimalist modern building for example
for sure, plenty of formative modern arcitechts were all very smitten with japanese astetics, im pretty sure frank loyd wright was a big fan of japanese style houses

Futurism and brutalism. Check out the videogames with art designed by Viktor Antonov, they tend to feature that shit a lot, often contrasted with other types of architecture.
To change things up a bit, what's your favorite style of residential architecture?
My favorite for large houses and mansions is Shingle-style followed by Mission Revival and for small houses I like traditional chateaux and craftsman.

Worst part we where among the first to begin with this cancer.
We never had any real Art Deco phase
>>1150612
Only the fourth one is really bad, though. The first isn't really meant to be functional, the second is fine because it's in the proper context (prairie-style houses are pretty great for warm, dry climates desu) and while the third is certainly polarizing it's not objectively hideous. The fourth one is pretty butt-fucking ugly, though; it looks like something you'd find in Mega-City One or maybe Los Angeles ca. Blade Runner.

>>1150675
Whenever I see an image like that I wonder how a building that heavy can sit in the middle of all of that water for hundreds of years and not collapse.
>>1150684
Dunno about that particular castle but most castle moats were designed to be easily drained so maintenance could be done on the submerged sections
>>1148150
Tenochtitlan was very impressive from an engineering and urban planning perspective but architecturally It doesn't look that magnificent and It was probably mostly built solely to be functional.

They're really common in australia. In fact i'm pretty sure the style originated here. They are great in hot climates.

>>1150768
>In fact i'm pretty sure the style originated here
Nope. 'Murrican. That style of house has more-or-less become its own architectural movement at this point for various and sundry reasons but the common design elements (horizontal lines, lots of windows, overhanging roof, etc.) are very firmly rooted in what's known as Prairie School architecture, a style pioneered in the late 19th and early 20 centuries by a number of architects - most notably Frank Lloyd Wright.

There are thousands of painted churches. In the late 18th and early 19th century, architects were looking for the 'truth' in their designs. A possible solution was to reveal and appreciate the beauty of the material itself (like people began valuing antique sculptures in the Renaissance, although later it turned out they've been originally painted). Later the theory of heritage preservation finally led to the conclusion that restoring a party damaged building (eg its fading painting) meant to alter and thereby destroying the precious original substance.

st andrea mantua, alberti
No clue if there are any architects of a similar mindset, but I'd love to see minimalist designs in brutalist style(preferably cubic with some roman columns and some other small details like Indo-European geometric motifs thrown in) combined with 'hatching' plants.
Plants would compliment the 'decayed' granite, kind of like the beauty of a ruined tower full of moss in the middle of some forest.
Also, am I the only one that finds pic related beautiful?

protestant iconoclasts, during the reformation it became very in vouge to get rid of statues and fancy decortions in church becuase they distracted from the point of going to church and were looked at as afectations of catholocism
also you have to think about how the world changed, big gaudy cathedrals are expensive and were the stuff of kings.....once you get rid of kings of functioning wealthy monarchies who foots the bill for an ornate church full of statues, paintings, and stained glass....when you lack a king who needs to reasure people of his power and weallth you lose the castles and cathedrals just a bit
>>1154773
I am perfectly fine with buildings harnessing the Sun's power to burn everyone below it. Some Las Vegas hotels do this unintentionally.
However, the Guggenheim in Bilbao, the Walt Disney Music Hall, and every fucking "iconic" building that literally makes zero sense is part of the "Starchitect movement".
>>1154788
It is the Hitler, Stalin and Mao of architecture.

>>1145033
Futurism, Egyptian Revival, and Art Deco are the only objectively correct answers
>>1147853
Yeah nah mate, that's pretty much the opposite of what Roman architecture looked like, it was dirt y as shit, especially in the Republican period. A monument like that in ancient Rome would be covered in graffiti, with crooks and holes throughout to function as shop stalls etc., and likely painted bright red or similar, at least partially.
Later in the imperial period, you might see less paint, but more gold. Nero's golden palace was, well just that, and Trajan's forum had gold decals all over the place. Marble wasn't even pure white either, and various colours from all over the empire were brought in to decorate architecture, including monuments.
Most of this has since been looted, burnt, or destroyed - leaving us with a distorted image, but a lot of scholarship now suggests if you want to understand what Rome probably looked like, look to old cities in India. The colour and dirt are roughly analogous to the reality of ancient cities.
>>1161194
>>1147853
Otherwise, for easily accessible examples of colour and gaudiness in surviving Roman architecture, look at the buildings of Pompeii and the interior of the Pantheon (modern day Santa Maria Rotonda) which remains colourful despite being stripped of external marble, having the bronze ceiling of the portico melted, and various parts reworked into Christian monuments. With that in mind it's an excellent example of the kind of gaudiness you could expect from Augutsus' city of marble.
>>1145596
I don't really understand why the people of Rome don't like it
I can't believe no one has posted Sagrada Familia yet. It's gotta be the most beutiful thing built the whole last century.
