A state with a population of only 5 mill, probably less when it was built, has arather grand/expensive building
Scotland by comparison has this:

Don't really associate wisconsin with this kind of grandeur desu
>>52262399
Fucking glass/steel monstrosities. I think I prefer brutalism and commieblocks to that shit.
>>52261985
I love that building, Lee-af. It reminds me of the townhall of Győr.
And it was like 3 times the estimated price.
is this considered cool? I think it's pretty based with the little village beneath it

Feudalism/10
>>52263947
maybe our parliament suits your taste better?
>>52262399
This does look kind of ridiculous. Okay sure it might be fun on a small villa or something but not a building like this.
>>52262399
This is the parliament house of New South Wales (population 7.5 million).
>>52262429
The SNP were against the new parliament, they wanted to use the old building.

>>52266278

I saw a tweet from a Japanese rock band I like when they were in Edinburgh. They thought it was the castle.
>>52265740
Old Parliament Building.
Ontario Legislature aka the tits building
>>52266319
I can see why, victorian prisons do have that kind of vibe in an odd way. You have the whole prison, fortress, castle link/
>>52266458
Interior
>>52261985
I nearly thought that was a mosque in thumbnail and I apologize
>>52266573
And older parliament hall, the Great Hall at Stirling Castle.
>>52266538
But St Andrews House is art Deco, built in the 30s. It only looks old cause of the soot marks.
>>52266458
What kind of building you want senpai?
>It is said that in the first design meeting, Miralles, armed with some twigs and leaves, thrust them onto a table and declared "This is the Scottish Parliament"
Say no more

London City Hall
>>52266525
At least they're proud of their cuckstamp
I like ours desu
This is just one side, the whole complex is pretty big and the oldest building (a manor house) is from the 13th century. Architecturally it ranges anywhere from gothic to renaissance to Dutch classicism
Östersunds rådhus, for municipality with population of 61 000
>>52266824
Tbf the area before that was just breweries so I feel it's improved.
Stockholm Stadshus
Sagerska huset, home of the statsminister (prime minister)

Apologies for the mobile links
the Finnish house of parliament is pretty cool desu
>>52268448
shame it's filled with idiots tho
The city hall of Helsinki is pretty Russian looking but I like it.
>>52262399
The green bits are nice, but everything else is pretty shite desu. Almost slipped and fell on those steps in the sheltered corner bit desu.
>>52268557
Does Finland have a distinct architecture or is it more scandinavian in nature?
The city hall of Kemi used to be based, a city hall combined with a water tower :D
>>52268448
I like it, nice pillars. The red golf or whatever in the picture is a bit of a distraction though..
>>52268632
We have some Russian influence in our architecture, because we used to be part of Russia from 1809 to 1917. The Senate Square and the empire buildings around it (including the city hall in the pic) were designed by a German-Russian architect C.L. Engel.
Buffalo City Hall is an Art Deco masterpiece
Also the state of NY complex in Albany is pretty cool and imposing but I get why not everyone would like it
Don't know if this is good or nah.
