I like cool buildings, and I bet other people like cool buildings too. Post pictures of cool buildings you find so that other people can see them and say "that's a cool-rear end building" My cool building today is the former ministry of transport HQ in Tbilisi, Georgia.   It is hella cool especially given when and where it was built. Also not entirely impractical given that it is built on a big slope so it allows access from both the top and the bottom of the slope.  I love how it just rises out of the forest.

There's birds living in sufficiently large big box stores so yes, probably. It is pretty cool, reminds me of the science wing from Control, would be nice if it could have comparably tall trees.

Huh, there is no way I would have guessed it was on the roof of a building from the eye level photos. Reminds me a lot of some of the 60s and 70s developments in london which are similar concrete park style things with lots of water features. I really like the concrete and greenery aesthetic generally, blends in well with the sort of brown stains concrete tends to accumulate after a while.

Milo and POTUS posted:On to something much holier, the Temppeliaukio Church in Helsinki is pretty neat. Instead of flying buttresses and ornate features you'd associate with more southerly (and -catholic-) churches, this Lutheran number is built into the rock itself and it's definitely interesting to look at. Peter would be proud It's also interesting in that it doesn't have a big "HELLO YES I AM A CHURCH" sign on it anywhere. Normally you would expect either a steeple or a big ol cross somewhere that you can see for miles. I would probably think it was a car park looking at it from the outside. Also ^^ yes the long lines building is great and I love that they just lifted the exterior (and extrapolated it to the interior) design whole cloth for Control.

Hell yeah I like those old fashioned mid-high rise buildings, not sure what you call it, it's got classical elements but it's a lot nicer than palladianism.

The scale of the tunnels didn't quite click until I saw the small car driving through the base of one. We have covered alleys in the UK but never seen anything that grand.

I have read all of that but I still just see concrete and go "that's brutalism" because architecture words are too complicated. I know this is because they are trying to communicate a very complicated and specific series of ideas, but big concrete make brain happy that brutalism yeah

Local one that I meant to post last year but forgot: Used to be a coal bunker for the steelworks and was sadly demolished last year when the government stripped the preservation order because it was in the way of some developer or other.

The steelworks is largely defunct so it wasn't in use, it was just a cool part of the local skyline, would have liked to see it preserved but the government are oiks. There's plenty of land nearby so I think it's just that they didn't want to pay to preserve it.

Being a big thing you can see from some distance away. We have plenty of those and a lot of them are less pleasant to look at and also have less history or meaning attached to them.

BigFactory posted:Ah, the wonders of coal. The town was built around the industry, it's a gigantic part of the local history, a lot of people even today are still very attached to it, there's a reason the preservation order was put in place to begin with. That same name is on the sydney harbour bridge because the steel was made in that factory, genuinely it is a better monument than most of the actual monuments we have.

Yeah there's a couple of places that have done that with their old gasometers, makes more sense if you have a nice brick ones but round buildings are cool too.

I looked it up hoping to find an explanation but instead:quote:The principal building, the ubosot is an all-white building with fragments of mirrored glass embedded in the building's exterior. The ubosot embodies design elements from classic Thai architecture such as the three-tiered roof and abundant use of Naga serpents.[3] "Inside the temple, the decor swiftly moves from pristine white to fiery and bewildering. Murals depict swirling orange flames and demon faces, interspersed with Western idols such as Michael Jackson, Neo from The Matrix, Freddy Krueger, and a T-800 series Terminator. Images of nuclear warfare, terrorist attacks such as the World Trade Center attack, and oil pumps hammer home the destructive impact that humans have had on earth. The presence of Harry Potter, Superman, and Hello Kitty confuses the message somewhat, but the overall moral is clear: people are wicked.[6]

They're not especially common in towns built after the widescale adoption of natural gas or electricity because they were more necessary when they had to produce the gas from coal and store it locally. Nowadays you generally put the giant tank of gas somewhere else and pipe it in under pressure.

Windows constructed with the patterns on the glass are usually called leaded windows https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadlight they are made by sticking lots of bits of glass together with lead. So you would want diamond leaded windows. Weird to see one in that orientation though, it's usually done with the diamonds facing the other way.
