    Finally a thread like this was made
    Here are some of my favourite gems from Madrid, which is fully packed with gorgeous architecture:
    Gran Via(GOATed avenue for architecture, one of the best in the world):

    Banco Espanol del Rio de la Plata(mouthful but this building has such good detailing it's insane):

    Palacio de Comunicaciones(windows and spires are buff):

    Edificio Telefonica(art deco at its finest):

    This pretty, but can't shake the feeling that a lot of it is thanks to Franco

    Most architecture was made under questionable working conditions too
    I just appreciate the craftsmanship and effort of the workers and the design of the architects

    Unironically loved the domes and organic shape concepts Kanye prototyped. Does anybody know of any architects he worked with? I know James Terrell provided the inspiration for natural light/open roofs

    No overhead and grass would be the LIONed combo imo.

    Itā€™s not actually a place where people live. Theyā€™re allotment gardens ā€” i.e., a place for people who live in apartments in the city to have a little plot of land where they can do some gardening in the spring and summer months. Generally, there are laws that prohibit people from living in them full time

    Crazy good looking house
    Always felt like sharp architecture with contrasting materials and colours like this should've taken over as the new "modernist" movement, it's way more tied in with classic styles of architecture and felt like a respectful continuation to them

    That is insane! I didnā€™t expect this at all

    I havenā€™t been back to LA in years. Have they retained a lot of these Victorian buildings or did they get torn down?

    Not a lot of them
    Downtown still retains a surprising amount of old architecture but it's limbs compared to how massive LA actually is
