>>745372945Because nobody wants to gives attention to, nor get attention from a new religious movement.
The japs can surprisingly into futurist (don't know what else to call it) achitecture.

>>745373213yeah
>>745372945Play the Persona 2 duology.
>>745372945The japanese are allergic to controversy. They would never ever ever do anything that they think actually would have any chance of ever upsetting someone in Japan even a tiny amount. If they depict a temple they'll make sure it's generic and fictionalized. If they're going to reference a religion they'll only reference dead religions or ones where the worshippers are fine with being referenced (ie Christianity and Jewish mysticism)
>>745373371Yeah and it usually ends up being a scandal.

>>745377837Fortunately that dystopian nightmare has been torn down.
Wasn't it in Smt3?
>>745377879Never heard of it. The side view looks even better, very impressed. Never had stuff like that on the East Coast before I moved to Yurop probably still don't
>>745377863left is a hazard to itself
People always talk about Tokyo having a "soul" and "great atmosphere". I think those people just havent travelled much. Tokyo felt utterly generic, it felt like it didnt have any identity at all. Just a place with stuff in it. Cool stuff yeah, but travelling between the cool stuff is boring as hell. Euro cities like Vienna, Paris, and Prague mog it atmospherically
>>745377879>The building was designed by Ma Yansong of Chinese architecture firm MAD Architects
>>745376054This is the Demon Ruins
>>745378156Difference is those latter places are always about "look how great we used to be, we used to be the shit" with their diamond dozen palaces and old buildings, while Japan is all about "we're still making cool shit that you visit for". Whites are time stuck low morals apes compared to japs in modern day.
>>745378156Tokyo is a nightmare. The few tourist towns/districts seem ok, but the city is oppressively depressing. What makes it worse is that Japan has a lovely countryside but is not known for that. But I guess city slickers can only have one destination.
>>745378156Tokyo has tons of life happening right now, it's not a monument to how much better their culture was hundreds of years agoParis is a shit hole now, Vienna is nice and Prague is actively trying to pretend it's still 1850Tokyo is great because it's a very functional, very active modern metropolis with a space for nearly every hobby or interest you could possibly imagine, all while being shockingly affordable for a 1st world city
>>745378319>while Japan is all about "we're still making cool shit that you visit for". chinks took over that. no one is impressed that a mobile phone can connect to netto and top up your suica. I haven't seen a paper commune ticket in years.
>>745373213Brutalism is so cool, why do redditors hate it so much?
>>745378319Kek you frame it as if it's an organic decision to build those generic towerblocks and not because Tokyo got leveled in WWII and gets regularly fucked by earthquakes
>>745378156>Neoclassical period>Retards thought Greek and Roman stuff was just white marble when it was actually painted over>Just slap Roman shit everywhere and say you're like the RomansFucking Romaboos
>>745378652redditors on architecture subreddits love that shit actuallynormal people hate it
>>745377668
>>745372945I’m assuming this was the backside of it then? I was just walking by and saw this fucking thing and thought I was in Cyberpunk so I had to take a picture.
>>745378701The point is they prove they can keep reinventing themselves while Europe can't. Maybe it's the homogeneity.
>>745378729Honestly we should keep LARPing, it leads to cool new architectural styles, more racism and romanticism
>>745378952Why would Europeans bulldoze everything and build trash over it to "reinvent themselves"? The entire world flocks to European cities more than any other for a reason
>>745378807Fuck it, buildings should all be like that, organic-shaped mounds covered in greenery that a single structure or building material can't be made out. A city entirely like that. Fuck me proper that would be nice.
>>745372945Damn, the Goa'uld landed in Japan? F
>>745378326No one wants to travel rural Japan without learning the language, and no one wants to actually learn the language. Would you rather>spend 2 weeks in a megalopolis where your every touristic impulse is catered to by businesses and public infrastructure, and where it's quite easy to get around without knowing Japaneseor>spend 2 weeks traversing the spider web of local train lines to wander around bum-fuck nowhere and get side-eye'd by locals who don't know why you're thereI don't think Tokyo is that depressing aside from places like Shinjuku and Akihabara that are just tourist magnets, especially at night.
>>745372945iToddler.
>>745379013>Why would Europeans bulldoze everything and build trash over it to "reinvent themselves"?Europeans are coasting on heritage. No one is suggesting they should bulldoze their precious mausoleums and whatnot, but that they have nothing to show for their latter days. Europeans don't even build cool shit on the side, that's how lame they are. Thank God for Asians.
>>745373487Looks like a faggot
>how do you want your office building?>like a giant dude could take a shit in it
>>745378319>diamond dozen palacesESL friend, it's dime a dozen, as in a dime which is not much money buys twelve of them
>>745378965>leads to cool new architectural stylesNo it doesn't. It's just more Roman/Greek shit slap on top of whatever. If anything we need to go back to Art Deco. That takes elements of the ancient past but gives it a modern flare.
>>745379089Yeah the latter, and I understand thats me.
>>745372945That looks like a black man pooping out a fried chicken
>>745379169I think this design has potential. The arch design and the courtyard at the front look really fucking cool. The rest of it just needs work to better align with the entry imo
>>745379229Those oblong heads are SICK
>>745373743I wonder what it's like to explore familiar places from your city in vidya
>>745379229I like Roman/Greek shit, that's fine. But you have a point, that looks fucking cool. We really do just need aesthetics to return, I want to look at a building and feel awed, proud and inspired, not confused trying to figure out intent.
>Best threads are off topicNever change /v/
>>745378175Damn, you got it. Jimmies rustled
>>745372945absolutely hideous
>>745378434>Paris is a shit hole nowYeah, both France and England are pretty odd in how they systematically destroyed their own cities over decades on purpose. Very strange nations.
anyone else has weeb fatigue?surely there must be interesting stuff in the other 200 countries of the world...
I've lived in a big city my whole life and these types of buildings are entertaining for about 2 hours before they become obnoxious eyesores for the rest of your life and tourist magnets who become equally as bored but they wasted their vacation to do ityou europoors who live in bumfuck nowhere romanticizing this stuff is hilarious
>>745379937While at the same, especially in case orf London, being hubs of commerce and work and maintaining it. Who could have contributed to thay?
>>745379418Usually it's just kind of cool. I live in San Diego and the only games I remember being featured were Midnight Club 3 and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Underground. In Midnight Club 3 it looked vaguely like downtown but nothing jumped out other than the USS Midway and the surrounding dock which was cool. In THPSU it was just Balboa Park with ramps. They actually could have done more with it, I wasn't a fan of this level personally. I don't know about others but I always hoped when I heard about it being featured in videogames that it would somehow have the mall I used to hang out at.
>>745379150I don't think you realize that Yurop has been rebuilding a bunch of their heritage architecture since WWII (alongside modern architecture). Former soviet countries have been doing this a lot in the past 30 years since they mostly couldn't afford to do it under communism. In the past 20 years we've gotten Dresden's city center partially restored including the Frauenkirche, Frankfurt's new old town, Potsdam's restoration, Humboldt Forum in Berlin. Warsaw reconstructed a huge chunk of their old town. For the most part, it wouldn't make sense to decide to plop down a large MAD or Hadid architectural project in some ruins straight in downtown when your city still primarily consists of old-style homes surrounding said ruins, and when your street grid is old and tight. It's also often difficult to do large modern projects like that because large buildings need very deep foundations for large supports, and since many European cities are ancient, it means that you can't just go in and bulldoze and dig everything without care, but often need to carefully excavate and extract heritage objects.But you've also gotten projects like Hamburg's Philharmonie and HafenCity, Lyon Confluence, City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, MAAT in Lisbon, Metropol Parasol in Seville.In the far less populated Nordics, you have very large stock of modern architecture projects such as the Kaktus Towers or Opera House in Copenhagen or Karlatornet in Gothenburg. But as a whole, the Nordics have an unspoken social code of not bragging or flashing wealth, so they're not really tempted to create stand-outish projects in the Saudi or Chinese sense.(1/2)
>>745379150>>745380453So it does exist, but it won't be as grand as say, China. And that's simply due to land constraints, a balanced focus shared with heritage architecture as well, and the desire by residents to construct buildings that fit into the space available for them to be constructed (there tends to be laws for example designating that if a lot is available for contruction in X old town, you have to follow certain guildlines so that your building architecturally matches the surrounding buildings — or, there might be entire neighborhoods with height limits to not cover sightlines to say... the Sagrada Familia or another landmark).
>>745379089>traversing the spider web of local train lines to wander around bum-fuck nowhere and get side-eye'd by locals who don't know why you're thereこれ。楽しそうですよ
>>745373487>reddit spacingFuck right off!
>>745373663lol true
>>745380067>>745379418It's literally the only reason I'm getting GTAVI. Because I don't live in Florida anymore and it's nostalgiabait for me. But GTA as a franchise is boring af and generally unappealing to me.
>>745379229That's an art nouveau building, and beneath elaborate ornamentation is the same classical structure seen in earlier styles.
>>745380546Not it's not. Art Nouveau was all about incorporating natural designs into the architecture with lots of rounded edges and curves which started back in the late 19th century. Art Deco is dynamic and geometric, embracing the modernizing mechanical industrial world.
>>745380792Also should add the classical elements Art Deco took from was from Egypt and the ancient Assyrian and Babylon when Orientalism was on the go and everyone was obsessed with those ancient cultures in the deserts.
>>745380453>>745380494>reconstruct their old shit instead because of a dearth of new ideas>build some vaguely original project or two on the outskirts to pretend they're still with the times>"it's because of harmony and laws, chud!"Thank God for Asians. If they were as cvcked as euros, everyone would die of boredom. Also, holy cope.
>>745378326I have never once felt this. There is tons of nature even in the heart of Tokyo to experience, you have no idea how fucking bad most massive cities are. Compared to LA walking around Tokyo is like fucking Shangri-La. But you are right about the countryside. That's good though, it leaves much of the nature untouched. I'm simply more worried of the depopulation of the countryside as the city pulls more and more to survive.
this is now an architecture thread. More MAD work.
>>745375426that is very fucking clearly not brutalism you blind retard
>>745379418Lived in chicago for a long time and it was weird seeing a fully functional CTA train running in watch dogs. Like literally the same ugly ass blue seats covered in piss I took to work everydaySurprised the city isn't used more over NYC but whatever
>Eurocvck attempts building outside of the usual classical fart sniffing playbook>Disaster ensues
>>745380508本当に楽しい。It's funny how quickly it can happen too. You really can just stop paying attention for like 20 minutes and when you get off it looks like time rewound 25 years and the people every now and again give a double take when they see you. It's one of the only places on the planet I can go to and still experience this without fearing for my life. What a shame it will be when it dies.
>>745380986>Compared to LA walking around Tokyo is like fucking Shangri-LaMy point of comparison were european cities. Even at their worst the sprawl isn't as overwhelming as Tokyo. But I obviously agree on LA, also been to more and they all have another problem that's different from Tokyo and that's obviously the car. I dunno, I like where I live, call it old people's refugee but I don't think I'll change my view easily. Just being able to bike from suburbs to downtown is such a nice thing I didn't appreciate before.
>>745380983Thank God you're not in charge of building shit, because you're the type that if you were born a boomer would have cheered to destroy half of America's downtowns to build highway and the shitty blocky skyscrapers of the 70s-80s.It's why half of America looks like shit now btwAnd this:>>745380983or this:>>745378807is cool and all, but only in context to its location. It would be a crime to construct some shit like that in the middle of fucking Rome or Vienna or Santorini. Imagine plopping one of those things right next to the church in this pic kek wtfAnd despite the fact that they are cool, if I had a choice between either of those or pic related, I'd choose pic related every time. And it seems most people would too, because people flock to pic related far more than they do to Dubai or Shanghai. It has higher cultural and aesthetic value kek cope
>>745381050This guy lives inside a guitar
>>745381323Holy copeThat's a ghetto retard and plenty of buildings look like this in muh futuristic china too, probably far far more
>>745379418I'm from northern virginia and I was pissed at how poorly bethesda rendered the area even though they're from the area too. practically the only thing they got right was the look inside the metro stations. the actual metro map was completely wrong though.
>>745381430Are you talking about Fo3's DC? I read they had some kind of technical limitations that fucked up them trying to deliver a realistic DC, who the fuck knows what technical limitations they hadBut a former dev on it said he's excited for the remaster and hopes they can make some of the buildings more authentic now that they're not restricted by the technical limitations of the time.
>>745381429Whatever you say, eurocvck. The modern eurocvcuk mind can only shit out disaster after disaster. I wonder if they are the same peoples from before the 20th century, probably not.>I yearn for the rundown, post-apocalyptic human hive, says the eurocvck

>>745373213>brutalism, japan :O
>>745382129Commieblocks can do this too.
>>745379018I really feel like the way we've separated ourselves from the natural world is completely unsustainable. Doing relatively easy shit to integrate with nature can have such profoundly positive effects but Americans can't even figure out that having actual shutters on your windows would block the heat energy from the sun getting into your house. Houses are built by the thousand with literally no thought at all paid to which side faces the fucking sun, let alone doing an hour of napkin engineering to capitalize on winter sun while minimizing summer exposure.
>>745381817Am from the us and do in fact yearn for the euro human hive.
Here's a reverse question, is this shit influenced by something specific from real life? I feel like there is a trope of high bridges and castles in snowy mountains
>>745382625I don't know why sloped balconies always do it for me.
>>745373402Like 80% of jrpgs shit on Christianity specifically.
>>745372945I think they literally need to go ask for permission to copy a building in a game, especially if it's a temple
>>745382578
I walked around this weird house when they were building it. Twenty years later apparently justin bieber was living there, which is surprising because it wasn't in that nice of an area

>>745372945I'm pretty sure this building shows up in multiple Megami Tensei games.
>>745379937Not that odd. They destroyed themselves in pointless wars and now they're reaping the benefits.

>>745384049it looks interesting but doesn't seem that usable due to lack of windows. people don't like that
>>745379418I've experienced this twice, sorta. Kona skatepark from Tony Hawk 4 is a real place, was right next to where I grew up. The real kona is much more compact. Also this is a little different but I went on a trip to rome and florence after playing AC2 and it was strange to realize I only knew all those buildings from the game

>>745379013>The entire world flocks to European cities more than any other for a reasonYou're going to have a real hard time coping with how popular Asia is going to be compared to Europe in ten years, among genuine first world tourists, not bioweaponized third world "refugees".
>>745378319>while Japan is all about "we're still making cool shit that you visit for"nah, japan is "we used to do cool shit you visit for till the 90s, now we're just a slice of the slightly alternate reality 90s that every other place has snuffed out since". nothing wrong with that- you go to florence to see 15th century, you go to tokyo to see late 20th century.
>>745380453>I don't think you realize that Yurop has been rebuilding a bunch of their heritage architectureYou're not making any new culture. You're not trying anything new that competes with Asia and that doesn't just make you more of a laughingstock every year. You prove with every passing decade that all of your best genetics either left for America or died in the world wars. Everyone of you that's left is seen as worthless by your ruling class and is why they are actively working to replace you. Because you're all a bunch of feckless, insufferable sheep. You're dead weight, and you can't compete. The laurels you sit on were earned by better men.

>>745386736Never watched that so it has to be something else
Japan is the perfect anti-social society. I visited Japan 3 times and yes I speak Japanese. Eating good food didn't require too much interaction and being solo wasn't looked won upon. If I wanted sex I would fuck tachinbos who may be JKs or visit a shinchi. I could walk around drunk or with a beer and I wouldn't get in trouble like in america. It was literally the best experiences I had in my life and I die happy.
>>745379968Being a weeb is cool now. It still rubs me the wrong way. Everything that got me bullied growing up is now socially acceptable. I get I suffered so why should others but still it just feels so wrong.
>>745372945that kinda looks like the mall in pavifica in cyberpunk where you get the quest with placide......
>>745386983the amazing thing to me is that certain generations will still try to bully you for liking it, while the kids don't care that you like it because it's nothing special anymore to them and everyone young watches it. Fucked from both ends.

>>745379079>>745385506my first thought too as im watching it first time. Im getting sad though im midway through season 7 and I know Jack leaves at some point, and so does hammond, Afraid it will lose that spark
>>745389381How is it? I thought about giving it a rewatch, but I fear I've just become too jaded over the last 20 years

>>745388474buddhism is satanic albeit
>>745389381it's kino all the way down, last 2 seasons are like a neat miniseries
>>745389435It incredibly comfy. Sometimes theres a few boring episodes, and one I would say really bad episode in season 1, it was so bad the streaming site I was using at work skipped the episode entirely and I didn't notice. But it holds up really well, all the characters are great or grow into great characters. Once it picks the pace up in season 2 it only gets better and better, with the humor being great and not over the top. RDA adlibs a lot of lines which always get a good laugh once you start picking that up.>>745389548What about the other series Atlantis? And the two movies?
>>745389756SGA has fans for sure. I think it has an OK premise that it completely fails to live up to and it seriously wanks Rodney too much and I dislike him as a character. I actually prefer Season 1 of SGU but that show has its own serious problems as well (and it is very woke) and ends on a shitty cliffhanger.
>>745381430"Annandale" looked more like the downtown Fairfax area by the courthouse.
>>745389756Yeah yeah I'll give it a try. Thanks man>>745389865>Season 1 of SGUHated that when it came out, but the more I think back on it the better I think it was. The problem was probably that it just wasn't what people expected, me included.

>>745389865I had seen a bit of SGU a long time ago, the episode I remembered was the solar flare episode where every dies like 3x over. It was my main reason for starting the series now, that one solid episode.

>>745390510>>745390051if SGU had been only bottle episodes about people in a scifi setting experiencing hell it would've been great, unfortunately it's a stargate series and it wants to do weird drama shit on earth
>>745382513Yeah enjoy those cities full of scammers, run down infrastructure, ugly architecture, overpriced food lmao. Where you most likely get stabbed when walking outside at night (or sometimes even day). Tokyo is way better than any European city. Geneva may be kinda safe compared to the others but then again it's overpriced, dirty and ugly. I suggest to avoid any European cities and, when traveling there, go to the Bavarian or Swiss alps, lakes and such.
>>745391912That thing is an overpriced tourist trap but I did enjoy going around that place just for the view.

I am very much enjoying the video game discussion in this thread
>>745395758They may be similar, the photo is from Kalamata in Greece, most of the city looked like this before it fell down in an earthquake in the 80s.
>>745372945I bet you there is someone hanging around that building waiting to tell you it's the building with the most of something in all of Japan or the world. From the look of it, the most entrance stairs.Kind of funny how they are about stuff like this in Japan. Every temple I saw had one guy just waiting to tell me this temple had the biggest/most/oldest thing in Japan. Like the biggest gate, or the oldest wooden temple, or the most statues and so on and so on.
>>745396094Fuck off, Janny Jr.If you want to complain about something that's actually ruining the board, complain about all the /pol/ lite culture war trash threads.

>>745379089This is actually a good thing, btw. Thank god too because I moved to a more rural place of Japan to avoid foreigners.
>>745373213brutalismbrutalism, Japan
>>745375750The funny thing is, these buildings were not designed by the Chinese. It's all western architects.
>>745372945It's a cool landmark but it really doesn't offer much in terms of environment for gameplay. Not that that would slow devs down much in modern game development where everything is just emptiness with objective markers sprinkled on top.We could really use more intricate cityscapes.
>>745376523looks like that korean battlefield 2042 map
>>745397669灵魂
>>745389865>SGA has fans for sureI'm one. It's a case of the highs being just as high as SG-1, but the lows being much, much lower. There's a definite imbalance in the casting with some characters going woefully underused (and some just getting no good writing at all despite their apparent importance to the setup), and some being forced to carry too many episodes. You really need to like McKay and Shepard for Atlantis to work for you. Much like SGU the show squanders its premise (stranded in a different galaxy, surrounded by ancient mystery tech), though it doesn't do so quite as quickly as Universe did with the fucking stones.Still, lots of interesting storylines, kino moments, great aesthetics, cozy atmosphere. Atlantis itself starts to feel like home and a respite for the viewer as much as for the main characters. If SG-1 were a strong 9/10, Atlantis is a respectable 7/10. Both shows ooze sovl.

>>745398923ngl even if they aren't actively stealing, brownoids are unsightly.probably smells too.
>>745388005That's the same when you live in any country with a uniform architectural style. But you still can't not admit that it's pretty, unlike if you like in the US and are surrounded by cheap boxes for buildings.
>>745386403coping so hard you have to make up future scenarios
>>745398978Dunno, granted it was dark, but I see maybe one or two.Travel instead of gobbling down /pol/ propaganda. Jesus, landing in America feels like the pilot made a mistake during my sleep and the flight was redirected to Africa or something. I swear one of two people are a shade of brown.
>>745397483It's from the Cities Skylines 2 trailer lol.
Americans really will sit in dilapidated shitholes where everything is crumbling around them and look at amazing buildings from around the world and say "heh... enjoy that crumbling and falling apart!!!"
>>745390973Would fit in rollercoaster tycoon
>>745398923>>745398978NTA. Visited plenty of European countries and cities, live in Yurop, and the Paris is kinda shit. The city is still (mostly) pretty, I mean it had been for a long time one of the prettiest cities in the world, but the population is nasty.To be fair, I went in 2015? So during the start of the migrant crisis. The entire car ride from de Gaulle, every single building was slathered in spray paint. That was the first thing that stood out to me, because it wasn't just one building, it was practically every one surrounding that main road. When I finally got in the city—I don't recall which arrondissement we entered— There were literal roads filled with tents and massive piles of garbage from the refugees living in them. And I truly mean mounds of garbage. I'm sure that doesn't exist anymore, but those refugees no doubt got housed somewhere in Paris. Beyond that, the arrondissement we entered, you could tell the buildings were supposed to be pretty, but they looked partially run-down. Ragheads were sticking their heads out of windows, ethnic and arabic signs and shops everywhere. Vibe was completely low vibrational. Finally make it past that and into the prettier center. Go toward the courtyard and it was a good hotel, but right outside was a homeless man how decided to call a corner in the courtyard home and it smelled of piss.Put my stuff in the hotel room and leave to check out the city. Leave the courtyard and first thing I see on the street corner is a gypsy and gypsy child begging for money. The second nobody's around, the gypsy pulls out a phone more expensive then mine. The gypsy was asked to leave the corner by a policeman, and I watched the gypsy get up and the second the policeman left, go back to the corner and sit back down. My first lesson on how incompetent police are in Yurop I guess.(1/2)
>>745399649>>745398923>>745398978Anyway, beyond that, I was almost scammed and pickpocketed by gypsies trying to enter the Louvre. An ethnic driver offered my family a ride to the Eiffel Tower and stated a price outright, but once they arrive hiked up the price and tried to scam my family. Blacks in front of the Eiffel Tower were harassing my mother. When I went to Disney with my father and younger sibling, the metro stopped working so we had to go above to a literal sea of thousands of people (really bad public transportation issue these days) and was shocked to see a literal sea of black faces on part with or probably even worse than Atlanta.I have a high tolerance for bullshit, but I quickly realized why the Japs get their hearts crushed by the reality of Paris. It's coasting purely off of it's beautiful heritage architecture and that's fine, but the people in this city are atrocious. The white Parisians are fine, but they're not quire so friendly either so that doesn't help.
>>745399245Factoid for foreigners: Paris, during the summer months is not populated by parisians, because they all left on vacation elsewhere, but by tourists rich enough to take a trip to expensive Paris. That being said the rich parts of the city are way prettier all year round, assholes or not they sure take care of their urban image.Paris is comfy, a chilled coffee and a gourmet sandwich at the café is comfy. But we've got to get rid of the cars.
