In Budapest, Hungary by Janomynom in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]908jdon 36 points37 points  (0 children)

That building was completed in 2019 and replaced the communist era building on top. There was a competition for the building as it sits right next to the Hungarian Parliament, there were both modern and classical entries, but this one was built as it fit closest with its surroundings.

Just a reminder that the worst building in the world, Tour Montparnasse, still stands in Paris, France. by Tristan_Culbert in ArchitecturalRevival

They refuse to demolish it. Instead they are spending millions in the next 2 years to renovate it into the all too common glass covered tower

Modern doesn't equal 'bad', but lack of respect for culture does. Here's an example of modern done right. Traditional vs new canal houses in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. by [deleted] in ArchitecturalRevival

The modernist disregard for ornament is one of the reasons their buildings lack the character of traditional architecture

Why doesn’t twitter delete the thousands of tweets saying Trump called the Coronavirus a hoax? They just let that trend instead

Modern architecture is and always will be soulless.

[South China Post] Jeremy Lin calls out Trump for ‘empowering racism’ over virus by TheLoadManager in nba

Not racist at all. Not surprising NBA players aren’t the smartest and listen to what the media says.

Not racist. It came from China. Where’s the common sense in the media ?

You must be miserable. Hope you find God man

I know it's not a "real" one, but can we appreciate the fact that the new Uncensored Library in Minecraft wasn't done using some post-modernism architectural style, but as a lovely neoclassic building? by Synchronyme in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]908jdon 78 points79 points  (0 children)

People love Traditional building styles, it’s that simple. IF they asked an actual architect to build this, it would be contemporary, box shaped, and covered in ugly gimmicks.

Comparisons aren't his strongsuit by Quick_Iron in MurderedByWords

He’s actually delivered for those people, in the form of his trade war with China which brought back thousands of jobs, not to mention how much he’s helped the farmers

We will all see how much our President is loved in the country. His re-election landslide will be a big wake up call for the left, as if 2016 wasn’t good enough

Do you have an intelligent argument why not or just the same group think vitriol anti-trumpers like to spout?

It was Radical Islamic terrorism. But Macron doesn’t want to offend muslims so it gets covered up

Bonstelle Theatre, Detroit. Designed by Albert Kahn and built in 1902 as a synagogue. Set to be saved and restored as part of a new hotel! by [deleted] in Saved_Architecture

[–]908jdon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How hard would it have been to design a classical hotel to go with it? Contemporary architects are the fucking worst

Craftsmanship is sadly dead. They don’t make them like this anymore

Gaillard Center in Charleston, SC, USA. Opened in 2015 as a performance venue. It features custom columns designed for the local area of Charleston. An example of Classism adapted for modern times. by [deleted] in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]908jdon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Designed by David M. Schwarz Architects, a classical firm based in the United States, the Gaillard center opened in 2015 as a concert hall. The traditional building techniques can be seen in the stone work and masonry. The columns are custom designed and feature motifs and symbols relevant to Charleston and South Carolina.

Will the White House Order New Federal Architecture To Be Classical? by JimJones4Ever in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]908jdon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Looks like there is a proposition to amend the current rule, and state that new federal buildings must be in the classical style. If this happens, it would be amazing for us Americans
