What's your favorite architecture style?

Post Reply New Topic

For example, Medieval Gothic, Baroque, etc...

I'm quite fond of the Rococo style that was prevalent in the early 18th century.

Queen Anne. That's an initial impulse. I could reconsider over time and post again.

I like the Bauhaus school of thought, although not as much for its architecture. I can find something to like about every style of achitecture, though. I think every style has its place.

Geometric, but still somewhat organic. Very much like FL Wright, or Atlantis in Stargate.

Art Deco and Bauhaus

neoclassical. elegant and simple.

Victorian, Art Deco, and whatever else strikes my fancy...

Moderator edit, March 31st 2013:
The site containing the image which was linked in this post caused Chrome to issue a malware alert, which in turn prevented it from loading this page of the thread - consequently, the site reference is now redacted.

This appears to be a false positive because the site does not exist and there is no DNS record for it either.
The IP address which was once assigned to it is now assigned to someone else.
Google's "Safe Browsing" diagnostic page indicates that there was once an issue with the site - more than 90 days ago, as at this edit - but as it no longer exists the malware alert is not significant and was triggered by the site name alone.

Implausible, chaotic structures with portals and bridges in silly places.
Mild example: Hamoukar, with entrances on the roofs and ladders by every wall.

But it's all good.

I was going to ask Postures where in the world that interesting photo was taken (people here seem to love posting photos without titles!) but I have (ingeniously) managed to find out it's from the island of Kizhi off Russia. Excellent!

It is excellent indeed! Russian churches are so pretty.

i see now you beat me to it, Postures. Your Russian house is maybe nicer than the ones i found but here they are even so




Vytegra



New Jerusalem Monastery



St Basils cathedral

what also struck me was Japanese castles. here's the Himeji





and for the western tradition what for some reason struck me was the Rietveld-Schroeder house (The Netherlands), where perhaps the inside is nicer than the outside.

Woodfish those are really pretty!

I also like these:

St. Petersburg




Fili


Moscow

And many, many more

Ascetic.

Ice-needles Gothic




Modern chrome-and-glass, simple, not extravagant
