Original question by @Wahots@pawb.social
I think art deco is one of my favorites. It still has a clean, modern look that ages surprisingly well, even a century later.

Not at all dead but I’d like modernist style to become more popular again.
Googie. It harkens to the hopeful celebration of the future during the Space Age.
I admit it’s not my favorite, but I do still love that it’s actually distinctive and has a specific “vibe”. You look at it and you know exactly when it’s from and what it’s about.
I can’t think of any ‘style’ in the last 20 years that has that.

Any. Very few modern buildings can be said to have any style at all. They are just functional blocks.
Mud buildings
Not sure what it’s called but I’d like to see buildings looking like this again
This is the Library of Congress in Washington DC

Tudor-style wattle and daub, timber framed houses with thatched roofs.
It’s relatively environmentally friendly and sequesters a lot of carbon, and is well insulated. Willow coppices can be grown just about anywhere too.
Art deco for sure, possibly turn-of-the-century industrial as well.
Seriously look at this steam engine. It looks like it belongs in a massive cathedral or something.
Victorian homes like this
Googie. The Seattle Space Needle is a design of this style.
I always called this “The Jetsons style,” I had no idea there was an actual name for it.
Whatever architectural style the Weekend at Bernie’s is:
Looks like brutalism to me. Not sure if there might be some more specific subcategory I’m not familiar with, but generally anything using big geometric slabs of concrete is brutalist.
And the Art Deco crowd wins the poll!
Had cousins whose entire home, bar the sun room, was Art Deco. Not just the furniture and paintings, even the magazines and lighters and ash trays. Quite a collection!

I am 100% with you on Brutalism. It is often vilified but I think it’s beautiful.
i would like more brutalism because my country desperately needs affordable housing…
I’m a deco man myself. The world should look like the futuristic vision of 1920s and 30s sci fi movies.
The interior design of the brutalist era was often very interesting. That is probably what I would bring back.
