Some of it is pretty comfy tho
>>53793711
>>53793839
atleast they are grouped more or less together so it doesn't trigger people in the middle of the old town
>>53793905
Yeah that's why I love it, alright they built strange buildings at you either like it or not but it's far from the city historical center so no one complains
Pic related you can see the orange cube close to a green one on the left background of this pic, the city historical center is near the cathedral you can see far

Commieblocks. How to fix them?
>>53798536
put arabs in it. free passive demolition in 10 years.
>>53798536
there is no fix desu especially if the country is poor
>>53798536
renovate
>>53798983
this one looks pretty nice
>>53799483
can't say the same for all of them, sometimes the colour scheme can be ridiculous

Don't you think a unified facade is much better?

what is a unified facade desu
>>53799957
people were like kids who just got colour pencils for the first time after commies fucked off, its no wonder we ended up with some weird results
>>53799791
warsaw is a big fuck up anyway
>>53800056
problem is that this is the cheapest solution and most of the inhabitants (old people) have no taste ("shiny colours")
but it CAN be done, if you are willing to pay for an architect
Observe
>>53800375
desu just nuke all post commie countries and start building again

Good colours. Not very annoying,not boring.

Here's a nice bridge from my city, probably the lesser known one too since no one ever hears about Staten Island.
>>53807599
Isn't worth much when it looks as bad as in your picture
also sauce? Haven't heard about this project yet
>>53793297
Woah I like the bitchstick tower
>>53801807
The thing I love about that building is it doesn't look brand new. It blends in and for all you know it could have been there for 30 years.
Rectangular and angular buildings just work for New York. I hate all these architects trying to force curves and roundness into the skyline.
looks like the T*rk botnet is back

yeah it's kind of nice
also /urban/ is getting quite lively recently
btw where's that building?
After a long search i finally found a picture that makes Gothenburg somewhat justice.
Gothenburg is Sweden second biggest city. Founded by Adolf the great if I'm not remember wrong.

It's in Barcelona. Pretty short, barely standing at 110m, but the facade is still cool.
>>53818211
green and comfy I guess
>>53818315
yes the facade is great
posted this in /cbg/ a few days ago. an unused plan from 1911 for north-western helsinki
>>53818211
>Architect:
how u want ur skyscraper senpai?
>Gothenburg:
just fuck my shit up
>>53818567
So... instead of that they just went "Nah fuck it, let's improvise as we go" and we got munkkivuori/haaga as it is today?
>>53818682
Yeahp. You'll notice the area around the bridge to Meilahti is actually layout-wise taken from this plan, but even that was only built in the 1930s. Then the War happened, so no building, and after the War it was a whole new (modernist) world as far as city planning went.
>>53818788
>>53818788
also, this being from 1911, the style would've been Jugend or the type of early modernism that the main railway station is. Imagine that.
>>53818788
These days it looks more like "Just fuck my shit up" especially if you compare it to northern parts of Helsinki.
>>53818624
That area all together is rather messed up..

A Swedish work of art. Luckily it doesn't look too out of place in the skyline.

Looks similar to this.

>>53819639
The individual towers look good, clustered together they look good, but on the skyline it all looks lonely and out of place. It should be more vast horizontally, with a better build-up. It's like they only bothered building a small slice of a full skyline. Otherwise top-notch futuristic designs.
>>53820020
I'm not a fan of MIBC but I envy Russians and their amount of money they can spend in investments like this

NYC is great

>>53823568
edgy but I like it
they should make skyscraprers like that, not >432 avenue
>>53823657
You need some boxes. Not every building can be a centrepiece.
>>53823739
>>53823739
I'm ok with boxes just it's that 432 is overly minimalistic
>>53823739
I guess with all these projects going on in NYC it will reassure itself as top 1, the most recognizeable and iconic skyline in the world
though it won't have any megatall sadly
>>53823781
The cladding for this building is going to be fucking beautiful

What the fuck. Is the the final design? As a structural engineer I really wonder how they're planning to compensate for wind loads in such a slender building.
Any details on the construction?
>>53825237
>Is the the final design?
Yep. 1:23 width to height ratio.
I guess just the wind break floors, combined with the tuned mass damper in good enough. Modern concrete being amazing and all that.

They may need more than they showed in their diagram, but dampers are incredible with wind control. The Taipei 101 can withstand incredible typhoon winds and has no insulation from other buildings. If they evenly distribute them, they can even compensate for the thinness of the building. But yeah, modern concrete'll probably be the biggest factor.
