>>956349973I took an intro architecture class, and I was the only one who liked this post-modern stuff.

Zaha Hadid is pretty amazing.

>>956352310when I first saw it as a kid I thought it was too childish.

I really miss Core Pacific City in Taipei
>>956359444no
The cancelled proposal for Trans National Place in Boston.It would have been a staggering 300 feet taller than the current tallest building in the city (the John Hancock tower, built in 1976)

>>956352310It seems incredibly inefficient. Like you end up with a bunch of irregularly shaped rooms that can be useful space. Rectangle boxes might be boring, but they are functional.
>>956367318*Can't be useful space.

>>956370429This was a good thread but you just had to fuck it up. You're a child.
>>956370917Grow up, nigger
I'm a utilitarian, the design must be practical
>>956377358I'm a pootilitarian. The design must be scatalogical
>>956365717you would live in that building?
>>956367318It's like a discovery walking through a space not knowing what you'll encounter. It's adventurous and whimsical. A perfect balance between that and functional is peak.
>>956367122You had better chances than most, yet you wasted it.
i miss this place

>>956379850>>956379811gonna post more about why i like Horton Plaza. Nothing about it was direct.IT seems straight forward, a normal mall, but one side of the mall doesn't line up with the other side. So one side was half a floor up, which meant some walkways across to the other side were sloped upwards/downward. On the ends of each side, you'd also have to walk up/down stairs to get to the anchor stores. And some anchor stores started on the 3rd floor, so the 1st and 2nd floor were just walls or opened out into the street.You also couldn't go straight across on the bridges. Walk ways were almost all angled, so you'd end up doing a half semi-circle, that was above/below you. Very inefficient.The parking lot also wasn't number. Each floor was a fruit. So you parked in Apple, Pinapple, Grape, Banana, etc floor.It was such a fun mall to get lost in and just explore.
>>956382420here's a picture from when the mall was mostly shut down.notice how one side of the mall doesn't line up with the other. So you're not quite sure what floor you're on when you walk across one of the bridges.
>>956382694and here's one of the entrances to the mall. this is one is street level, but the mall doesn't really start here. So on this side of the mall, there are shops that face outward to the street. These are mostly normal shops you'd see in a downtown area, like grocery and cigar shops.On the other side of the mall, on the street facing "outside" there was also a theater for plays (the inside part of the mall had an AMC movie theater) and a hotel.
>>956379448No chance at all
>>956349973>giant areas that are constantly shadedUnless there's some good reason for this, it's absolutely stupid.

>>956365717Brutal
>>956365717
>>956353242My car buff friend says this is the ashtray of the 1944 VW Beetle. Can someone explain the joke?
>>956361219That tall building in the left of centre? Utterly mediocre.
>>956366962I'm lovin' shit!
>>956367400Christ, who builds like this? That's completely unsuitable for living. You'd have to wear shoes that grip wood in order to walk around in your own apartment. Accidentally drop an apple and it rolls to one end of the room.
>>956390493You realize the picture and the road are on a slope, not the building, right?
>>956380888What's this forest of commie blocks doing in this thread?
>>956390517Apparently I didn't. That was the joke. Weak I know, but often I just can't help myself.
>>956390706Okay safe, because you never really know...
>>956390706The issue isnt your joke, its autistim, these spergs cant handle anything short of straightline meaning, no nuance allowed. Was a dad joke regardless.
>>956367318If life was strictly about functionality and efficiency, we'd all be eating super-efficient slabs of standardized nutrient mass for each and every meal.
>>956390769>Was a dad joke regardless.Admittedly. Another one: Did you hear about the two archeologists who fell in love? They started carbon dating.
>>956390857I think i saw that on one of my kids popsicle sticks.
>>956380664>Ooh, a sailboat!
>>956390583The choice/design of the landscape meshes very well with buildings, and made the area look quite nice in that photo. I'd consider that part of the architecture.

i thought this place was pretty cool
>>956353242HAHAHAHAHA
>>956393617>>956393840>>956393905Hell yeah>>956393666Postmodernist trash
>>956393617OK then. It's just that to me, these standard grey cubes look out of place among so much great architecture.
>>956393666I'll check my....
>>956393938I remember when I first drove there, it was already night by the time I arrived. Kino as fuck

They should've made it. I wouldn't mind a bug hive apartment if they went all in on the hive concept like this.

>>956398657Peleș
>>956399662>PeleșI love the mock galleon gallery just hanging out to the left of the arch.
>>956400451I'm just noticing that they cut into the arch's moulding for that.Gypsies. lol.
>>956400710It'd look weirder if they didn't. I love the spiral staircase on the other side, too.
Pretty material. Not sure if its colored concrete or rammed earth.
>>956381067needs indoor plants.
>>956401545Probably rammed earth with a heavy concentration of Portland cement.
>>956394462The population density in Korea is nuts. Each building is its own mini-city.
>>956402124The image I posted here >>956397440 is in an area they call an "Apartment Complex" in Guiyang, Guizhou, China. A half a million people live here now. Click the triangle and image search for details. I could NEVER do this.
>>956367318>>956349973this is a library in san antonio, its a neat little place but it does get confusing, theres like 5 floors and one is dedicated to meetings, one is like a day care area, and the rest of the three are movies, books, and magazines, the first floor has sections for art displays that come in occasionally, and the basement has a book store. in my opinion its a interesting building, it stands out in san antonio, far more cool than the alamo
>>956402510-New Kowloon Walled City dropped?
>>956390807>>956379254Spoken like faggy artists who don't have to foot the bill for construction and operation of said space.
>>956402551I like the hell out of it. In a city, full of glass boxes, I think it's a welcoming sight. I look at it like a work of art.
>>956402847You're one of those faggots that are afraid of EVERYTHING you don't understand.
>>956402916Simulation glitch, and they just said "meh, leave it like that."
>>956402953And you are an effeminate leftist faggot that debates like a woman and immediately moves to emotional manipulation in every debate because you can't win on facts and logic.
>>956403067>effeminate leftist faggotTRUMP GUY>moves to emotional manipulation in every debate I'm not debating you. I'm calling you a FAGGOT.>can't win on facts and logicBut I already won. Where are *your* "facts and logic?" What a faggot.
>>956402139gorgeous picture, looks like naboo.
