I think art deco is one of my favorites. It still has a clean, modern look that ages surprisingly well, even a century later.
Waterfall. Agile is a mess.
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
Check out art deco metal band Imperial Triumphant

Cool, if it’s also Art Nouveau.
too real
Big beautiful brutalistic concrete block with some fucking space!
Mud huttingdon:
I fully expect that to make a comeback in the aftermath of the climate wars.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Mud walls are great insulators, and keep really cool during the intense summer heat
Actual decoration instead of just cheap sheetrock and Metal fixtures.
Also houses for everyone
Brutalism and Art Deco, not together obviously, but +1000 points to Affordable Housing @supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz lol
Yeah, art deco is definitely high on that list. Also brutalism. I especially love brutalist interiors.
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.
Art Deco and Art Nouveau both are great in my eyes. (Neo-)Gothic cathedrals and churches are also wonderful.
But one more regional thing: I really like the Brick Gothic style. It is robust against wear and tear and still looks great.
I love this style of modern architecture from the late 1960s to early 1980s:
Iono, the first two are a bit much, but I do love the 3rd.
Aw man, I was about to praise the first two.
The first two remind me of tacky mafia style hotels and maybe Miami (Tony Montana) or Las Vegas “classy”.
I was thinking the tacky, overly-ostentatious decoration style you see in Russian government buildings, but yeah that fits too.
Art Nouveau. It looks so whimsical. I’d also like a Gothic/Gothic Revival.
Hey I love Union Terminal! Great museum. And you’re right, the building is beautiful. The massive mural in the entrance area is my favorite piece of any building I know of.
Second Art Nouveau. Art Deco is nice, but I think over played as a throwback.
Also a fan of a neoclassical Italianate style. Square columns, low flat roofs, towers and tall thin windows. It can vary, but when done in a clean and simple style, it’s very nice IMO.
The full swathe from Art Nouveau/Jugendstil through Art Deco/Moderne and Bauhaus functionalism through to 1950s modernism. If I had to be more specific, I’d focus on British interwar modernism.
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
