These designs are awesome. =) I love classical architecture; one of my professors once stated that he believed pre-modern architecture should just remain in the past and be forgotten. But, I love the history and detail hidden within it. Those cube-like buildings also remind me of a design I made in studio a while back; maybe I'll post some of those projects later.

That last image is also really cool.

That cathedral is pretty cool! :oldthumbsup: I'm used to seeing them in the traditional elongated, cross-shaped design. That first picture is awesome as well, it looks like someone threw paint on the building lol; I like the facade too. =)

I was looking for more Autumn buildings and this is what I came up with!

Again I love when things like this coverbuildings and houses. I think it just gives it an extra beautiful vibe.

These next few ones have nothing to do with fall but I found them in related pins!
@Anthony7 this one is called "Abandoned Victorian" but look at all the glass structure:
da91f56bcb3bfad86f770f2d171056ab.jpg

I know it's worn down but it just kind of makes me wonder when it was first built like was it a green house? Who used it and what was in it? And I wish someone would restore it back to it's natural beauty!

Those are really awesome as well :D And I love glass structures like that, it does certainly look like a green house. =) It kind of reminds me of the Crystal Palace in London:

The Crystal Palace is beautiful! :bigeye: I would spend all day in there I think. All the more reason to take a trip to England. :D

Found this building (Centre Pompidou) when searching for photos of the Crystal Palace; I remember first hearing about it in one of my classes:

Haha I gotta admit... It's actually kind of cute. :bigeye: I'm wondering in the last photo if those are windows in the white pipe things? Very interesting design here. I wonder what exactly they were going for. It kind of looks like a hodge podge of things all mixed int one one building. Maybe it's suppose to look like the inside of a machine or something?

Is that a staircase on the outside of it? Interesting!

I would love to see the Crystal Palace myself in person. :clap:

And I'm not sure, I think they are just vent covers, to prevent people from climbing in lol; maybe the vents are just for decoration? :sorry: I think the building was a museum / gallery, and wanted to showcase it's structural system (which is really interesting, because buildings usually hide structure). The stairs are on the outside, and I know color played an important role too. It was designed by a very famous architect as well; that's all I remember about it. :p

Soooo when are we going?! :p

Haha well that's a bit awkward. So I guess I was kind of right when it looks like they wanted to show the system from the inside outwardly.

Woot! Sounds great. I don't think we should even pack, we'll just buy stuff when we get there. You know, like the cool kids do. :satisfied:

The 4th picture kind of reminds me of like a man cave or something, haha.
