I think art deco is one of my favorites. It still has a clean, modern look that ages surprisingly well, even a century later.

I just want a diversity of architecture styles to be common, I love areas that are an eclectic mix of styles; it makes me feel like so many different people care about the area.
It also shows the strength and resilience of an area. Places like that have weathered many booms and busts. It’s particularly interesting when one building has many styles, having been continuously occupied for hundreds of years. Or in some cases, even longer.
@Wahots @apt_install_coffee Universities are good for that. Nothing that old here but my one had 5 buildings from different times (oldest being Victorian era) joined together, using a mixture of direct joins, a shared lobby, and enclosed bridges
Universities are like little cities. I love all the different styles they have :)
Yeah, art deco is definitely high on that list. Also brutalism. I especially love brutalist interiors.

Ah yes, the evil villain hideout style. Not a fan of it myself but it does have something cool about it.
Fair enough. I also love it for office buildings and such, like in this example from The Oldest House in Control, or Luthen’s shop or Coruscant in Andor.
Honestly it does look good in a way yeah. Especially for the mega structures. Nice
Living in Germany I can’t stand any more brutalism. It has become the “standard” because it’s just the cheapest to leave the raw concrete exposed.
Fair enough, to each their own. Although brutalism is more than just exposed concrete, that is definitely the signature thing.
More often than not Brutalism is nowadays used as an excuse for minimizing cost here. While some of the pictures shown here can look appealing, the style just doesn’t sit well with me considering how it is (mis)used here.
That’s fair, taste is subjective and formed for lots of reasons, I’m not telling you you’re wrong or anything.
Yeah I just don’t want to come off as crapping on an art style for no reason.
Something that doesn’t look or feel like it was made at a factory
Mud huttingdon:
I fully expect that to make a comeback in the aftermath of the climate wars.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Mud walls are great insulators, and keep really cool during the intense summer heat
Affordable housing after the water wars
I have a really big thing for 70s PNW homes done really, really well. The vaulted ceilings, open concept main areas with multiple levels, the sunken living rooms, the cedar used everywhere… just leave out the shag carpet and I’ll be A-OK.
Waterfall. Agile is a mess.
Nice.
Haussmanian , as in multi-story mixed use buildings : 6 or 7 floors. Bottom floor is for businesses. Top floor is subdivided in small but cheap one bedrooms. Built in an H, O or U footprint with a central courtyard for the whole building to share. Facade can have art nouveau architectural elements but whatever is cheap is good.
Art deco. And I need it to get going yesterday so the place feels even more like fallout after ww3
Prairie and Craftsman Bungalows. Unfortunately, I don’t think that either is a particularly energy efficient design.
Brutalis Style
Definitely Brutalism. There’s a new thing where they can grow stuff on the concrete now, so I propose Eco-Brutalist as a new (not new) thing.
Thats a good thing Eco brutalism! One day i have enough money and will build a house i brutalism 😃
I love this style of modern architecture from the late 1960s to early 1980s:
Iono, the first two are a bit much, but I do love the 3rd.
Aw man, I was about to praise the first two.
It’s architecture/interior design, taste is subjective. Like what you like, I’m not here to yuck anyone else’s yum, just expressing my own opinion.
And I like 1 and 3, but not 2. It’s cool.
The first two remind me of tacky mafia style hotels and maybe Miami (Tony Montana) or Las Vegas “classy”.
I was thinking the tacky, overly-ostentatious decoration style you see in Russian government buildings, but yeah that fits too.
Idk about regular houses but I wish factories were still styled like they were in the Victorian era. There’s a reason so many got converted into offices and apartments
Yeah, Victorian industrial is where it’s at. Especially if it looks a bit run down and has faded lettering still barely visible on the bricks.
Art Nouveau. It looks so whimsical. I’d also like a Gothic/Gothic Revival.
Art Nouveau. So much beauty, style and experimentation in only 20 years.
Art deco.
Use LotR to tell the difference. If it looks like it was made by the elves, it’s art nouveau. It if looks like the dwarves cranked it out, it’s art deco.
Squares are a dead give away for dwarves. Knife ears don’t like square corners.
This is a really good comparison :)
I was actually responding to OP’s question. I k ow the difference between them 😅
Yes please. Fuck the white grey and black colour scheme of todays interiors.
