My castle is better then your castle.

The best castle in Swedish history was a Norwegian one :^)
>>53830128
Are you jealous?
I see the beauty nearly every day.
>>53830286
We improved it.
>>53830417
>Swedes couldn't even destroy it properly
Just goes to prove how good it was.
>>53830286
>bohus
No
>>53830748
>kalmar more important than bohus
Confirmed for not knowing shit about Swedish history outside of your shitty town
>>53830748
>doesn't even have sexy thick walls in a slick starshape
'no'
>>53830794
>Kalmar not being important
Dude, fuck off Achmed.
>>53830992
No, Kalmar castle is not as important as Bohus in Scandinavian history. Look up in an index of any history book and you'll find that Bohus has more pages than Kalmar
>>53831160
"Look up in an index of any history book and you'll find that Bohus has more pages than Kalmar"
Come on, that's a rather stupid argument. It's says in the Bible that Kalmar is more important :^)
>>53831286
Bohus has never been taken in combat, even though it has been sieged 14 times. It has been one of the most important castles in Norway, Denmark and Sweden.
Kalmar was... conquered once. That's about it. It isn't a very important castle in the grand scheme of things
>>53831403
Kalmar was an important castle (and city) before the annexation of Skåneländerna.
>non-important city has this for main entrance
Even the old city was walled. That because it's non-important
Post brutalist stuff from your cunt.
>>53831998
do you like toledo,fatty?
>>53832129
The mural in front is even by Picasso himself. Unfortunately the building is currently scheduled for demolition.
Vadstena Castle
did /urban/ + /architecture/ become a sustainable general?
Örebro Castle
Malmöhus Castle
>>53832481
Borgholm Castle, somewhat empty. The king that deluged Poland lived here for a few years. During summer concert are held there.
>>53832873
Swimming hall in Stavanger
>>53832931
Polish nationalism
>>53833104
One last brutalist piece.
>tfw don't live in Chile
Why even live
>>53835956
>>53835956
>>53836018
I don't know if I'd want to live there, but Santiago doesn't seem awful I guess.
>>53836018
OC made by a friend
>>53836158
How about Concepción?
>>53836214
Looks fairly cute.
>>53835956
>>53836158
Santiago is pig disgunsting.
This is like every morning and every afternoon.
>>53836403
Is it worse than in Japan?
>>53836403
>>53836530
That pic was when one of the main stations was having issues but isn't as crowded as in the pic (it does get crowded tho but not like in that pic).
>>53836018
>>53836645
Did trains from line 5 have the same problem?
>i-it's not that bad
That's pretty much every 6-9 AM and arround 6-9 PM, imagine buses, imagine streets and avenues. Pig disgusting.
Lovely Santiago
Garden Bridge planned for London.
Thoughts on the design?
>>53837058
It's bad but I think the pics make it look worse than it is, sometimes it's on par with Japan but only when they're having issues with some of the trains / stations and not at all times.
>>53837156
And parts of Santiago are rather poor but the north-eastern half is quite nice.
>>53837156
>>53837324
nz cities always look so heavenly with it their vibrant green and blue colors. i'd like to live there.
>>53837237
The design is a little odd but overall the idea is really cool.
>>53837529

New Zealand is nice. Their fjords look like ours, but with more flightless birds and less trolls.
Can Sao Paulo be compared to the NY of South America with Buenos Aires to the Chicago?

Just took this
>>53844975
Pretty good view. Where is it from?
>>53837237
Neat
Depends on how its finished though. Hope its not just colored concrete.
>>53845085
New east Chicago
>>53844975
Chicago is based
>>53845085
Chicago, you can see the Trump Tower :^)
>>53837237
Just like Tabiat Bridge in Tehran
>>53844753
Very European. Only really missing the spires on those domes.
>>53845263
We're big euroboos in the Northeast.

Tianjin, China
>>53848410
>>53850763
NIfty tidbits of history here, such as that whole bridge and the clock tower. Otherwise nice lights.
>>53851117
Tianjin looks relatively good as for a Chinese city
>>53851200
>>53851224
It's nice some cities in China kept the colonial architecture around.
>>53851315
Shanghai has a lot of colonial architecture.
>>53851403
I know, and some of the most magnificent examples too. But it's not as well known for other cities to have preserved their own examples.
oh apparently there is a lot of colonial architecture in Tianjin
My city
>>53851658
Looks nice; where is that?
>>53851664
>>53851658
Very cute, colorful and "Spanish", but I guess that one's to be expected.
>>53851738
It's a city called Puebla
I miss Japan.
>>53851803
>$60 5-star hotels
Fuck I might visit. Is it safe?
>>53851780

>>53832657

>>53851858
We try too hard to be European desu.
>>53851869
Viipurinlinna in Vyborg which was lost to Soviet Union in 1944.
>>53851858
Puebla is safe, yes.
>>53851903
>tfw idiots keep trying to sue a Museum because they can't read
>>53851972
I might visit this summer then, looks comfy.
>>53851995
Does anyone even like these types of buildings?
>>53852058
Last one.
>>53851965
Vyborg used to be the second largest city in Finland and it's the only Finnish town still having medieval buildings. Nowadays it's shit and ruined because of the Russians.
This is pretty close to where i live
Mexico City
>>53852224
What the hell is that building on the left?
>>53852258
A museum
>>53852258
That's Museo Soumaya by Fernando Romero aka Carlos Slim's son in law.
>>53852293
>>53852328
Gracias. Can't say I'm a big fan of the design though.
>the castle of Kajaani :D
This really shows of the mentality we had in the 60-80s towards historical buildings
The cluster of skyscrapers on the left did not exist until 2008. In fact, most of them have only been built in the past 2-3 years, with several more to come.
>>53852856
>tfw there isn't a single interesting piece of architecture in your entire city
Just a gorillion identical condominiums.
>>53852887
That long building in the foreground is supposed to be a transportation hub with possible high-speed rail in the future. It's also going to have a park right above it. Hopefully the place won't be infested with bums.
>>53852929
For those who think Brazil's Capital is Rio de Janeiro or Buenos Aires...
Ladies and gentlemen... Brasília!
>>53844677
New york is the most overrated city on earth, its beautiful but no so much.
>>53852929
If the rail is cheap it will be trust me. Hopefully you're city bans bums entirely.
>>53852915
Hey can't be worse than when I lived in Florida.

>>53837990
What? I'm not sure if I understood your question.
Tu puede hablarme en Español se lo quiere.
>>53830128
Did they ever rebuild that after the quake?
