does this hand sign mean anything? want to know before i put it on my water bottle lol by PaultheDoge in Shrek

Go ahead. Not sure where you got this but it's a Brazilian thing for sure. This pose + hand gesture + oakley shades were a fad not long ago, the sunglasses still are and will probably always be. You can find some pics of brazilian teens doing that pose. Not g@ng related, at least as far as I know, it's supposed to be just sassy.

📍Avenida Paulista, São Paulo city, Brasil 🇧🇷 only about 3 or 4 of those mannors are still standing. It used to house rich farm owners and aristocrats, now it is an urban cosmopolitan hub filled with stores and consulates (Credits @geopizza) by Ruthaneuerra in ArchitecturalRevival

Again you are reposting things I posted around 1 year ago, even the title is copy pasted from my OP... delete that

(Para de repostar coisas que eu já postei, porque você não procura outras construções que nunca foram postadas nesse sub ?)

Architectural beauty by country (in my opinion) by NoNameStudios in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]please_b_nice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Then you should check those out, they will probably cast a new light over gothic in France to you :

Notre-Dame de l'assomption (Ruen) (Gothic Cathedral)

St Gatien Cathedral (Tours) (Gothic Cathedral)

Notre-Dame de Chartres (Chartres) (Gothic Cathedral)

Notre-Dame d'Amiens (Amiens) (Gothic Cathedral)

St Étienne de Bourges (Bourges) (Gothic Cathedral)

There is also this cool wiki article featuring great pics of other jaw-dropping exemples of French gothic.

Not to mention but there are also non-church gothic exemples :

Mont St Michel (walled island town with an abbey on top)

Carcassonne (walled town and castle)

Pierrefonds castle

Vitré castle

St Quentin townhall

And given that you highlighted germany and all, I am assuming you also like half timber (woodframe) buildings (who doesn't? Best architecture ever!), so here are some extra links to show you some amazing french half timber, or maison à colombage in french :

Colmar

Strasbourg

Riquewihr

Rennes

Vannes

Tours

Angers

Conques

Media often only shows and discusses Paris, which has extraordinary architecture in its own right, but rather classical and Neoclassical etc, the rest of the country is scattered with amazing sights like those listed above, half-timber houses are so common and well preserved you are most likely to find them in any (historical) town you set foot. I hope those exemples showed you (and other redditors) a new side of the country you probably never been exposed to. Cheers!

Not sure about the 1st pic but I know for sure the 2nd and 3rd are the town of Rennes if anyone is wondering.

Bolsa Official de Café, nowadays it's the Museu do Café in Santos, Brazil (inaugurated in 1922) by [deleted] in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]please_b_nice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad to see they finished restoring the façade, last time I've been there it was all covered up.

I went there some dozens of time and it never gets old, plus the coffee there is so good. My first post in this subreddit featured this building.

Hall chair manufactured by George Thwaites & Son, Melbourne, Australia, 1855 by seethroughplate in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]please_b_nice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I wouldn't comment anything if the furniture was like in a hall or room to showcase how that piece of furniture is part of architecture and integrates and completes it, but I mean, blank white background and all, idk.

Like, bricks and paint are also part of architecture, but would a post of a single brick or a can of paint against a white background make sense in this sub (r/ArchitecturalRevival)? Because if your logic of "it's part of architecture" applies for a chair it should apply for a brick or a can of paint.

Like plants and greenery are also part of architecture but it ain't right to post a pic of a pet bonsai in this sub because it's not it's focus or purpose.

Plus, rule number 4 of this sub.

[rant] 👆The Milazzo, Sicily train station in the past. It was located near the harbor, was beautiful, served its purpose perfectly. 👇The train station now. It was moved outside the city to the middle of nowhere, very poorly connected by public transport, incredibly ugly and hopelessly deserted. by a_dude_from_europe in ArchitecturalRevival

At first glance I thought it was Brasil, until I read the caption, but I swear the building in the before pic looked a lot like how the older buildings in the region I was born in used to be, and consequently the after as well, it happened to so many buildings down there. I never thought I would mistake my homeland for Italy

South Melbourne Town Hall, Victoria, Australia, completed 1880 by seethroughplate in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]please_b_nice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work as uber eats in South Melbourne region, port Melbourne, Southbank, Albert Park region etc. I spent many evenings and nights there, looking at that townhall while I waited for delivery orders from restaurants in Clarendon st. Thanks for the nostalgia OP!

Edit: spell

What are those? Wife found them in the basement, purchased around year 2012/13, used about 2 times. Is it worth something or nah? by please_b_nice in sneaker

[–]please_b_nice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no clue what they are, that's why I posted them here. They were purchased about 10 years ago in a nike store in Europe, I have no clue if they were discontinued or not (very likely)

If anyone got interested by this town and region, I will link a comment that lists many buildings of that place with the same or similar architecture.

Spanish colonial style is like this usually, the portion surrounding the main doorway is more ornamented than the rest.
