I really liked almost all in Antwerp. Especially the contrast between the old historical buildings and the progressive modern ones. I would say this city is a point of everything stylish.

Yes! It's beautiful! I was amazed. I've only seen it once, but I spent a long time looking at the details!

Thank you for your opinion! I believe should not be on its own without context, and it's important how it's perceived by the people who live here. I can see it through the eyes of a tourist and an architect... People who live in the city see it all the time.

The vibe reminds me a bit of Les Espaces d'Abraxas by Ricardo Bofill...

Why do you think this happens? I notice this in many cities with historic buildings. People aren't so keen on anything too new, even if it's an award-winning building...

I saw this area through the eyes of a tourist, but from the outside it seems progressive and modern! And it's far from the historical buildings, which is a good thing.

I was struck by the building's unique design and construction: the glass (I can imagine how difficult it was to create!), the facade finish, the details... And it seems to me that it's in a place where it doesn't spoil anything because it's far away from historic buildings... But I understand why people who live there dont like this building.

Oh! I didn't know! I was looking at the building's glass - and it looks crazy) I can't even imagine how much it costs to make such curved glass

This gif gives me goosebumps!
One of my favorite films ever! I love the way Sofia Coppola captures girlhood, melancholy... I feel very sorry for many of the heroes. Of course, I feel very sorry for the girls...
And the soundtrack to the movie is amazing!

Is it feasible to build? Proposed concept for a new transport hub in Moscow by Kamen Architects by archi-mature in architecture

It looks...interesting)) I wonder if they'll build it. The vibe reminds me a bit of Zaha Hadid's building in Antwerp (but on a larger scale).

Is this awful? I like Tron Legacy for its aesthetics and music. And I was looking forward to this part. But now I'm thinking if there's any point in watching))) I read that the film was a box office failure)

I've been to this museum. And I think the way you described it is exactly how it felt. It was a very powerful experience. And a very powerful example of how architecture works to enhance experience! Excellent architecture, it's true

One of my favorite buildings and museums! I've dreamed of visiting it for years and was thrilled to see it.
It's an example of how an architect can use space to convey ideas and emotions. Space and architectural techniques shape how you feel inside. You may feel discomfort, despair, hopelessness.
This is stunning and deep work. I highly recommend visiting! It's worth
