hello /pol/,
i am willing to discuss with you:
design, architecture, and a bit about art
i am not your everyday /pol/ak that loves neo-clasical, fully ornamented things, etc. but if you are willing to talk about it, sure.
if you want to judge glass cube buildings, as well this is fine.
to start a thread, pic related.

It's sad to see this type of architecture being demolished and replaced with a fucking concrete cube nowadays
>>80486807
whats your thought on shipping containers being used as building materials
so, concrete cube seems very practical, but also expensive to build.
I live in the cold north, and have been thinking of building a home on some property (off the beaten path) what design would be strong, and efficient and reasonably priced to build? as well as attractive without looking like a cube?

I love old buildings that have been converted to look super modern and minimalistic inside. I'd lovee to live in something like pic related.

puke inducing desu
the problem with modern architecture is that it's not one consistent style, it's usually just a bunch of cubes stacked on top of each other but when you build a bunch of buildings with conflicting styles and designs and colours next to each other it just looks fucking awful.
sorry for late replays i thought thread died...
>>80489197
>replaced with a fucking concrete cube
>pic
>concrete cube + and half a sphere.
wow lad...
>>80489350
it is debatable idea, these cointainers are not so cheap if you buy one... and i am not so sure how much these metals are weather wise. probably it does not let watter in, but heat and cold might be an issue, so additional isolation probably has to be build inside.
>>80489749
wood or brick (depends what you have more in area since it might be cheaper) mass terminal walls. you could raise it a bit above ground, (sounds crazy but it helps a lot)
larger windows on side where is no wind hitting and smaller where it does. style choose, ill come back to you when i find something good. but pic related
>>80490996
nice intervention
>>80492380
>no consistent style
modernism had different design movements, so it makes sense that it is not consistent style. but mainly modern architecture main goal is what is inside, efficiency of used space.
>>80486807
That building is plagued with design faults, ie leaking roof, cracked concrete.
Plus it's so actually bad to live in that no-one does now.
Scandi modernist housing is pretty comfy af, though.
>>80490996
My house is untouched early Victorian at the front, we built an extension on the back & went for a cedar clad minimal style.
Down with degenerate architecture.
>>80489749
and if you have a lot of snow not fall for the "high gabel roofs are great" meme, you wont exit your house one day. (only if door is on front)
Modern architects should be forced to live in and around their buildings.
Wish we carried on being a major port
>>80493743
Chester is comfy as fuck
>>80493223
>design faults, ie leaking roof, cracked concrete.
concrete will always crack if it has metal structure, since metal corrode. you cant avoid this.
>>80493743
this looks nice, although laughable when you understand that there is no reason for houses like this when there is no actual snow.
>>80494017
buildings like this makes me vomit
>>80494319
that building in the back looks amaising, i would suggest you to make the same for yourself
>>80494625
>laughable when you understand that there is no reason for houses like this when there is no actual snow.
When you place so much importance in utilitarianism and so little in ornamentation, you paradoxically create a building that is so ugly it's almost useless, fit only to be demolished.

metabolism is last important modern arch movement from japan. main idea is that buildings could be extended and expanded if needed.
Does seeing this happen give you an erection?
>>80493528
traditional = the best
What's behind this green, white, curvy "ecotopian" trend that I see in every proposed project on the web?
Contemporary architecture has been around for a while, but I'm seeing many buildings proposed specifically using these colors and curvature.

Do you even have to ask?
Those types of developments are always nigger paradise. High density, converging paths, few exits, blind spots, and communal "gardens" in the middles of the buildings which will inevitably be litter-strewn and empty and apart from loitering basketballmen. Crime magnet.

>>80486807
Architecture student here,
Ausbro, how do you feel about the Vienna succestion movement?
>>80498998
different eras of design in Columbus ohio. from art deco to government beaux arts to po-mo
>>80498167
behind it is a trend of local and mini agroculture as a futuristic proposal. f.e. so they grow apples on ruff tops. but as we all know humans, this will go to dust soon.
and zaha hadid influence everywhere. much simplified.
architecture has movements. many of the movement reflect upon problems of the world today. same as i mentioned for metabolism, they were trying to find solution for ever growing japanese population in cities. so their solution was that you do not have to build new buildings but to just extend existing once, which would be cost and space efficient.
>>80498138
no, it doesn't
but pic related does
What's that building, I think it's in Germany, it was supposed to be traditionally designed but a bunch of SJW types said it would be too Nazi like, so now it's literally half traditional and half modern?
>>80499131
Detroit Central station
The question i pose to this thread is: If you dont like the curvy/boxy/color architecture of today, what do you think it should be?
Do you want another "X-revival" era again? You can see it happening in the 1800s onward - tudor-revival, pueblo-revival, gothic-revival, and so on. but for all of those revival styles there still is a 'new' style concurrent
some would argue we are still in post-modern, with others say we are in the age of parametricism like Zaha hadid's work >>80498889

Wtf do you mean, craftsmanship?
It was never built.
Pic related is an abandoned chateau that sadly is on the verge of being demolished.
Some good news for England.
Salford is expected to look like this in a decades time, if all goes to plan.
Now, it looks ugly, sure. But this is Salford we're talking about. A miserable dump. And this is a big improvement.
The quality of building is low, but density is high and it is very urban, which is about as much as you can ask for in England's mid-sized cities.
For those wondering: Salford is a quasi-city very close to Manchester.

Corbu was a god among men, his buildings are some of the most evocatively spiritual spaces that I have ever seen, easily up there with the highest peaks of Gothic architecture.
>>80499598
The age of parametricism is just only beginning, but we are still in post-modern.
Although, most buildings are getting updated
>>80498167
Architects tend to be futuristic, they see the future as simple and white.

Look into insulated concrete forms or icf. Reduce your heat load exponentially. They can be finished in whatever manner you wish.
>>80501343
Still more Corbu
>>80501834
And the interior
>>80493055
You are a worthless architect. Wind has nothing yo do with window size. In cold climates you want large well insulated windows where the sun hits them during winter. You can also add thermal mass inside like a brick wall.
In hot climates you want minimal glazing where the sun hits in summer with deep soffits to protect windows from hot summer sun.

whole damn paris is great, but i find beaux arts utter garbage, and vienna is full of it.
this neo-baroque crap that is being renovated every 10 years, which is extremely costly. i live in one of those alt-bau buildings made in 1907, and i hate it so much. interior archtiecture is not for todays standards at all... i have hallway which is 1/3 of the whole flat, and in 2 rooms i made 2nd floor since i have no clue what to do with damn 4m ceilings.

Modern and post-modern buildings look so sterile and ugly; they always look like they've been abandoned for decades. The lines might be interesting, but poured concrete just looks terrible. On top of that, trees make those buildings look imposing and unnatural, so they're usually built in empty lots, or with trees far in the background.
I just love Victorian houses, both old and with modern touches. They're just so warm and inviting.
Falling water is an overrated piece of trash with too many lines and low ceilings. Enjoy sweeping and snow shoveling your 1,000 roofs.

This was basically my realization when I visited Austria, Prague, and Berlin in Junior High/High School.
I always attended a small Lutheran or baptist church (depending on whether or not the Lutheran pastor was out missioning about) and they were in relatively small, 50-60's era brick/wood buildings.
Seeing the churches and cathedrals blew my fucking socks off. The acoustics in them were usually always great too (since we visited those places for a choir trip).
