The Architecture Thread

Danny Himself · 05.20.2008, 07:00 PM

I don't think we've discussed this in great detail yet! Architecture is something surprisingly important to me- though I've not really studied it as much as to be able to name many architects. I just hate to see bad architecture. One thing I hate about living in Liverpool is the terrible record the city has for the demolition of beautiful should-be-listed buildings. What was once a city full of victorian and georgian flourishes is now full of those awful 1920s and 60s pre-fabricated cube houses and ugly new apartment towers.

Here's some sexy exciting architecture that I wish I lived amongst.

Go forth, post your musings. If you will.

i think architecture is one of the most fascinating arts. i can't tell you why i think that, or anything about it in detail since i just started to study it. my friend just graduated from art school with a degree in architecture.

HECKLER SPRAY · 07.15.2008, 05:13 PM

Danny Himself · 07.15.2008, 05:17 PM

City Hall for Buffalo, NY. I love Art Deco.

there's a house just like this last one on the beachside near home- it's near impossible to drive up to, but the drive is worth it. for terriblecanyons, this one.

Danny is overusing "sexy."

Um, more of the obvious: FLW for the house in Bear Run, PA and the NYC Guggenheim. Gehry for the Guggenheim Bilbao in Spain especially and Utson for the opera house in Sydney.

For now I got two more source material words for you folks:
Kyoto Gardens
