France pls, you're supposed to be good at desings
>>58069437
BIG

Move the capital somewhere else. That's how Nara and Kyotos' urban character survives to this day.
>>58069367
Les Pyramides draa draa

In fact, the skyline is not in Paris.
It's in Courbevoie or something.
Skylines are an American thing because their cities look better the further you get away from the

Nobody knows what the fuck they were thinking
Well to be frank, London doesn't have much of a skyline to protect anyway. I don't see why it would bother someone that there are some houses sticking up above other houses in the distance. That channel's view on cities is a bit silly anyway, in another video they state that buildings should never be taller than five floors
>>58069864
There were supposed to be more buildings around it but then people freaked out because it looked stupid alone. So their solution was to stop the other ones from being built. Great logic there
>>58069367
Why is that any worse then the eiffel tower which looks like an oil rig?
>>58069940
yeah and they're perfectly right you kike, watch this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI1OeMmwYjU
>>58070001
An oil rig who brings millions of tourist to France every year for some reason
Don't really see a problem with tall buildings tbjh
>>58070100
Oh but wait in OP's video they state that they should just build more houses between 6-8 stories
>>58069507
>ruining the best skyline in Europe

>>58069683
>France so economically bad they have to outsource their skyline
>>58070193
Tall buildings are fine
a) They look aesthetically pleasing
b) They don't stand out/aren't considerably taller than their surroundings
And London's tall buildings are neither.
>>58070273
You gotta question that clock upthere.
Like there's clock towers and there's this. There is no way anyone is able to read the time on it
>>58070296
a) subjective
b) then taller buildings should be encouraged more, to make sure it blends in.
>>58070273
It just looks like a generic American city
>>58070273
Moscow desu
you're all kikes
>>58070340
>a) subjective
I triple dog dare you to go find someone who thinks The Shard, Vauxhall tower, The Gherkin, The BT Tower or The Walkie-Talkie look good
>>58070515
found one
>>58070412
>>58070465
>>58070465
nailed it
>>58070515
They all look good except the shard
>>58070465
still looks cool imo
>>58070515
I dont mind them.
>>58069367
High rises are cancer, everyone knows that, except delusional Americans who were quite literally brainwashed from birth to think that towering gray cubes are the pinnacle of human architechture.
London is ruined, Paris probably soon to follow. Though, I think there are some catacombs or something underneath the city which make it difficult if not impossible to build skyscrapers there.
>>58070639
The Shard is the only decent one you fucking nonce.
>>58070465
Still looks nice af.
>>58070549
Well then you're fucked in the head cunt and the vast majority of people disagree with you
Under no circumstances do the Gherkin or the Walkie-Talkie look good.
Washington DC looks more European than London at this point
>>58070465
Where's Kremlin in this pic
>>58070696
Think you'll ever get over your complex?

also, the person i found was my flatmate on the other side of the room, but that's neither here nor there
>>58070100
The mention of building height was very fleeting
>>58070273
There's about two towers here which look nice
>>58070442
Yeah we get it, brusselization and all that. There's nothing wrong with tall buildings if they look nice
>>58070807
It's called "culture" and preserving "historical architechture". You're American, of course you'd have no idea what are they, since you have neither.
>>58070515
The Shard is alright but totally in the wrong place. The BT Tower, I don't even know what this is supposed to be, some kind of antenna? It's pretty neat in a way. The rest are shit
>>58070465
hello darkness my old friend
>>58071222
it was a broadcasting tower
>>58071218
america has plently of culture you sack of shit. culture doesn't just equal hurr durr me old style buildings hurr old music
>>58071389
basically it is. it come with years. or do you count something like bbq culture?
>>58071389
Bacon and guns aren't culture, Jimmy.
>>58071451
>>58071561
stop looking at pop culture. america has contributed many good things to culture since it's inception. great music, films (outside of hollywood garbage) though right now the cultural shift is going back to europe
>>58071659
>america has contributed many good things to culture since it's inception
Okay. I'll set aside the memes for a moment and will listen. Can you name a few of those things?
But if you dare say country or rap I will slap your shit. They're both cancer. The latter is even more so.
>>58069367
Yes! Another one ill service for the city's landscape. It seems like 15éme collects the ugliest buildings ever. It's already got Orange HQ and Beaugrenelle district, and now get ready for that babylonian shitscrapper near Porte de Versailles.
>>58071870
ok pleb
>>58071870
a lot of good rock bands, metallica for instance
even tho i despise pop madonna and michael have influenced pop culture a lot as well
gyus like andy warhol have made their impact as well
>>58072145
without even going into underground i could go on for awhile
>funk
>jazz
>rock
>thrash metal
>techno (old stuff, not swagfag shit in most clubs today)
>>58072259
I don't think any clubs play techno
>>58072145
>>58072259
I'm entirely unimpressed by those things.

It's funny, they seem to build these to seem more important or something, barring the financial side, but do towers like this really make someone think more highly of Istanbul? If I wanted to go there, it would be because of the historical buildings
who gives a shit about skylines anyway
>>58074527
At least it's loads better than the latest Sim City
>Skyscrapers
Disgusting.
>>58069437
It looks so stupid
>>58074727
>>58074727
Well you can't have big buildings when the underground is basically fromage.
>shitlines
>>58073709
Are you for real, those are simply financial districts and such.
Top 10 skylines in Europe are objectively as follow, ranked by density, aesthetics, sheer numbers, and height:
1. Frankfurt
2. Paris
3. Moscow
4. London
5. Benidorm
6. Warsaw
7. Rotterdam
8. Milan/Madrid
10. Brussels
Shout-out to The Hague too, which I personally find very pretty.
Giving it a pity picture.
>>58074834
Sure but you can have financial districts without having towers
>>58072778
>Turkey
>Europe
>Ever
Nice try, Mehmet
Fucking rude desu senpai, we have plenty of nice buildings here.
>>58075093
I dont know about that but I know they arent building long towers for tourists in İstanbul. The goverment is even trying to keep them as low as possible because people are getting all mad about it.
Also as far as I know İstanbul has a larger gdp than Finland. That city is huge and those towers are nothing compared to it's functionality
>>58075191
>Istantbul
>Not Europe
Nice try Abdul
>>58070515
The Shard is honestly nice, and the Cheesegrater and Gherkin are alright.
>>58070661
>>58071344
Actually looks worse and more depressing in the latter
>>58070744
>Washington DC looks more European than London at this point
Not if your picture is anything to go by.
>>58075093
Not if you want to save space and avoid building groundscrapers (which are much, much worse than skyscrapers in every way possible).
Otherwise you'd need to raze quarters worth of buildings to fit as many people into multiple short ones as you would in just a single thin tower. Not to mention that it's much more cost-inefficient.
>>58069367
The French already sold Paris to immigrants, why not sell what little remains to big business? It's not like the French have any values left, or any love for their nation, culture and history.
This actually gives me a pit in my stomach.
>>58070273
Poland please
>>58080772
So pretty
>>58080862
It will really be nice after tne renovation plan and when all the od 70's towers will be destroyed to be honest
>>58070273
>Poland trying to be cool
Even we have better skylines than that.
>>58080967
Is there a render or something for the plan?
>>58070734
Fuck off
>>58081411
He's not wrong. Shard is the best tower in London.
>>58081023
Skylines thread?
>>58081320
Nothing global, just a lot of rend of all the differents towers and other projects
Modernist buildings in old cities look amazing if in isolation, but because Paris already has one standout building, another skyscraper would make both look less impressive
>>58082088
Yup, but it only looks good when they look cool and futuristic. Tour Montparnasse looks like a snicker bar or a giant turd towering over Paris.
>>58070465
looks like some factory from first version of ogame
>>58069437
>mfw I have seen that building many times more than the Eiffel tower.
>>58082734
>Tour Montparnasse looks like a snicker bar
>>58070391
No, it doesn't.
Most American skyscrapers are pretty squarish.
