They've got a bunch of those outside the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, whatever the artist's name is. Some lady I think?

I'm a big fan of some lady's earlier work but in her later years you can tell she was just phoning it in

Super Waffle posted:They were all originally painted white to keep the heat down, these were all built pre-air conditioning days. There are no restrictions on paint colors for the protected buildings these days, but they mostly fall into one of two categories: 1) keep everything as original as possible, and 2) use the pastel paint scheme developed by Lenny Horrowitz in the 80's: Help, I can't stop staring at these colours and feeling nostalgia for something I discovered five minutes ago

Yeah, I did a work trip to SoCal, then played GTA V a few weeks later and was like "I recognize a lot of this stuff!" Also  ?:

I saw the thread title and though "That's the University of Toronto Referance library isn't it?" and yep. It's like someone tried to make a building from 2000AD but didn't have an eagle for reference material so they choose a turkey. Some other interesting to say the least, Toronto buildings Ontario College of Art and Design  I used to work right down the street from it. It was like some crazy techno spider built by a guy into ska. Royal Ontario Museum  The old building caught a case of crystalitus, luckily they managed to get it under control. Though not before it disfigured the building permanently. I can accept the funky shape, but inside you end up with these odd shaped rooms and walkways, empty space in the odd angles. Though the exhibits in there are fantastic. The dinosaur fossils on display are done in the best way, where you can walk around them rather then being mounted on the wall like when I was a kid. The Hudson's Bay Company at Bloor and Yonge  just a big rear end slab of concrete in the middle of the city. Canadian Brutalism at its finest.
