does our parliament building fits being the parliament or should we find something smaller
You should find something bigger.
>>214762981I have visited it, it's weirdly big but that building has potential. It will get better over time.
>>214762981>365k sqmheating and cooling costs for this building most be like half the city budget
>>214764068they said it costs the same as a small town
>>214762981I cannot believe I say this but slap a normal roof on top of it and it actually looks quite decent - still visibly oversized but so much nicer
>>214762981doesn't suit your country, like a gypsy having versace themed big house instead of his traditional rag hut
I walk through ours almost daily.
>>214762981it represents romania very well.. like seeing a Lambo in some random gypsy village.
>>214762981Yugoslavia should be reformed just so that building could be used as parliament without it being wasteful.
Our parliament buildings look like a dime a dozen old palace you can find virtually anywhere. I wish we had the grandeur of the romanian parliament.
>>214762981>>214765948thats enough
>>214767402our parliament is kino
>>214767402and the interior too
>>214767475lol
>>214762981I always felt the building needs more towers. it looks unfinished
>>214767938give them back to Egypt
>>214768312Egypt killed an innocent italian used as red herring by the mi6, they can rot in the hell they created themselves.
The Netherlands.Ignore the floating stuff. It's from a protest.
>>214768535The other side of the parliament building. The knights hall.
>>214768312give egypt back to rome
Don't laugh, please.
>>214768731Well, it's a building.
>>214768581the lighting makes it look like a video game render
>>214768836The photo is from Prince's day, which is the day where the King announces the governments plans for the upcoming year. And the ministers announce how much they are going to spend on everything.
>>214768312that obelisk was made in Heliopolis, Egypt in the 6th century BC and brought to Rome by Augustus the year 10 BC so it's been in Rome for more than 2 millennia: I guess it's enough to consider it Italian?
Behold the mighty block
>>214769060best one in the thread
>>214765973I'll have you know it was built using only Romanian materials (1 million cubic meters of marble). The only thing not made in Romania is a set of mahogany doors gifted by Mobutu Sese Seko, the dictator of Zaire (nowadays called the Democratic Republic of the Congo).
>>214768262Well, the guy who planned and directed the whole thing got executed in 89 before it was done in 95 or 96 and it was already a huge financial drain so they just finished it asap.
>>214762981I feel like if he'd just put some kind of tower or dome in the middle it would have looked a lot better. I've heard only 30% or so of the building is occupied. Might as well turn it into a mall or a giant air soft arena
>>214769854There are some small domes but nothing to write home about.
>>214769921looks like a cpu bracket from above.. kek
>>214769676the whole area has potentialit'll take some time though
>>214769785>Well, the guy who planned and directed the whole thing got executed in 89Um. what?https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anca_Petrescu
>>214768731Our first one was actually not much larger but the Austrians blew it up during the revolution.
>>214770127The church insists that tourism in the area will bloom once they're done building the cathedral (as if people visiting Bucharest won't go see the parliament).>>214770222I was referring to Ceausescu telling them to tear it down and build it differently every time he visited the construction site. She did the design work but he was the dude saying "I don't like those stairs, make them different" and other shit like that. After he was gone she handled it.
boring afk
>>214764893its probably 70% vacant
>>214771753It also houses the museum of contemporary art. It used to have a nice caffe where you could sit on one of the building's wings (cpu brackets) and enjoy the view.My idea was to house as many government entities as possible but that would probably descend into anarchy.
All of our capitols look like this
>>214770289*first one in Pest, this was the one used in the reform era of early 19th century where they enacted the April Laws (it's now the University Library of Bratislava)
Opulent and luxurious symbols of power so that parasites that live comfortably at the expense of everyone else can roleplay as little gods.
>>214772180
>>214772218>BratislavaSlovaks come all the way to Budapest to borrow books?
>>214762981It looks like something out of Kazakhstan. No shade, since our Putrajaya has similar megalomaniacal architecture.
>>214762981Why can't they just put something in the rooms? Surely there are enough ideas for what to do? It's a cool building and kinda crazy that it was completed in the 90's.
Here's my modest contribution
>>214774101
>>214774124
>>214772180>washington's plans were designed by Pierre l'Enfant, french architect >us capitol was made by Thornton, based on the Louvre colonnade and the Panthéon
>>214762981that makes me remember my city's central market
>>214774414
>>214772494Lo and behold it's run by corrupt tikiniggers
>>214765948looks like a Vegas hotel. they need to add lighted fountains in front
Our parliament building resemble a certain area of a female body, but it's certainly looks unique.
>>214774142>>214774124>>214774101It's going to be filled with africans and muslims very soon
>>214767271But why would Yugoslavia have Bucharest as its capital?
>>214769785"Execution" is a bit of an understatement. Didn't he get magdumped by like 5 guys on the roof?
>>214775958Looks like a resort or hideout for a James Bond Villain.
it is a little too ostentatious for my tastes.
>>214775958Fucking shit.From a purely architectural standpoint.
>>214762981Looks nice. Bit blocky.
>>214762981I feel i could easily jump over that fence, run and sneak inside. What are the odds they catch me?
>>214767970Can confirm, this looks like my living room.
the semicircular thing
>>214772180*blocks your path*
>>214772494Exudes 70s modernist vibes. It's like the lair of a bond villain, very kino
>>214766203>modern architecture ruining itIt's so over
>>214767938Absolutely blank and souless, at least ours has that ugly aestetics.
>>214772494>>214774101kino
>>214762981being a politician is shameful and humiliating, the place they work should reflect that
>>214762981here is our old parliament before during interwar period
>>214782136
>>214777070I also think that too at first, but it grows on me over the years, it's more quite iconic
>>214782136>>214782239Quite french looking.
>>214782995well we copied a lot from the french, they were our most influential country in 18th-early 19th century
>>214776946I think it was a barracks of some sort but yeah, one of the dudes interviewed said he fired 29 rounds.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3Y1dmq2Hmk
>>214777337A drunken Irish tourist mistook it for his hotel in the old city so he jumped the fence and broke a window trying to get in before security arrested him. They let him go after 24 hours.
>>214762981Ours is pretty simple but I unironically think it has the best interior
>>214784505Inside
>>214781851Fuckers use gold leaf on their business cards and apparently 100 of them apparently cost 60 dollars but a quick google reveals you can get the same shit from random companies for 10-20 dollars.
>>214762981Gypsies do tend to be gaudy.
>>214784598a parliament should only be allowed in a basement of a brothel or a homeless shelter and they definetly should not be paid so much they can buy these cards
>>214784752Apparently the cards are included in their expenses. Latest retardation is some dude having a 140k supercar that's not in his name, but registered to a store in a village of 900 people. Said store had a yearly profit of 3000 euros in 2024.
>>214784621bruh you wish you had that, yourt parliament looks like my school lol
>>214784621your literal parliament kek >>214768731
>>214762981In a delightful metaphor for modern Britain, the Palace of Westminster has become an asbestos-ridden ruin. Current estimates say that full restoration would cost at least £10 billion, rising to as much as £22bn if done to the proper standard and with expected cost overruns. The scale of the crisis was identified in 2015 and written up extensively in 2018, and apart from a separate restoration of the clocktower nothing has been done. MPs have been told that the work can be done (relatively) cheaply if they move out completely, but then the costs for ad hoc security arrangements at a different facility spiral out of control. Truly, we can't do anything in this country any more.
>>214762981By the standards of communist architecture it's quite nice
>>214785082>asbestos...where did they use that?! Drywalls inside?
>>214785082Should have let that Guy Fawkes bloke blow it up when you had the chance.>>214785229Dude wanted to make the socialist version of the Champ Elysees boulevard.
>>214785288Something like that, but apparently it has been found in 1057 separate places. https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2025-02-24/HL5111#:~:text=Asbestos%20containing%20materials%20(ACMs)%20are,the%20condition%20of%20any%20ACMs.>>214785417>Should have let that Guy Fawkes bloke blow it up when you had the chance.That would have been the previous building, which burnt down in 1834 regardless.
