I think art deco is one of my favorites. It still has a clean, modern look that ages surprisingly well, even a century later.

Yeah, art deco is definitely high on that list. Also brutalism. I especially love brutalist interiors.
Living in Germany I can’t stand any more brutalism. It has become the “standard” because it’s just the cheapest to leave the raw concrete exposed.
Fair enough, to each their own. Although brutalism is more than just exposed concrete, that is definitely the signature thing.
More often than not Brutalism is nowadays used as an excuse for minimizing cost here. While some of the pictures shown here can look appealing, the style just doesn’t sit well with me considering how it is (mis)used here.
That’s fair, taste is subjective and formed for lots of reasons, I’m not telling you you’re wrong or anything.
Yeah I just don’t want to come off as crapping on an art style for no reason.

Ah yes, the evil villain hideout style. Not a fan of it myself but it does have something cool about it.
Fair enough. I also love it for office buildings and such, like in this example from The Oldest House in Control, or Luthen’s shop or Coruscant in Andor.
Honestly it does look good in a way yeah. Especially for the mega structures. Nice
Brutalis Style
Definitely Brutalism. There’s a new thing where they can grow stuff on the concrete now, so I propose Eco-Brutalist as a new (not new) thing.
Thats a good thing Eco brutalism! One day i have enough money and will build a house i brutalism 😃
Affordable Housing
Big beautiful brutalistic concrete block with some fucking space!
Cool, if it’s also Art Nouveau.
too real
Give me 2, but less mirrors- I’ve spent enough time in hotel lobbies, thank you. But if it were more theatre lobby than hotel lobby, I’m all for it.
Art Nouveau. It looks so whimsical. I’d also like a Gothic/Gothic Revival.
I just want a diversity of architecture styles to be common, I love areas that are an eclectic mix of styles; it makes me feel like so many different people care about the area.
It also shows the strength and resilience of an area. Places like that have weathered many booms and busts. It’s particularly interesting when one building has many styles, having been continuously occupied for hundreds of years. Or in some cases, even longer.
@Wahots @apt_install_coffee Universities are good for that. Nothing that old here but my one had 5 buildings from different times (oldest being Victorian era) joined together, using a mixture of direct joins, a shared lobby, and enclosed bridges
Universities are like little cities. I love all the different styles they have :)
Renaissance exterior of building. Carvings in concrete. Stone block buildings. Gargoyles. Corner decorations on ceilings.
Idk about regular houses but I wish factories were still styled like they were in the Victorian era. There’s a reason so many got converted into offices and apartments
Yeah, Victorian industrial is where it’s at. Especially if it looks a bit run down and has faded lettering still barely visible on the bricks.
19th century german architecture + red brick Gothic.
Art deco. And I need it to get going yesterday so the place feels even more like fallout after ww3
Any style older than 60 years that is not brutalism.
Things used to have decor before, we’ve moved to a functionality only infrastructure, it’s always done in the cheapest way possible and it’s sort of depressing
I’m reminded of this video about how changes to the construction industry starting in the '50s resulted in the loss of ornamentation in architecture
Cool, yet unfortunate.
Art deco rules so much
Anything but brutalism.
Something that doesn’t look or feel like it was made at a factory
Waterfall. Agile is a mess.
Nice.
