The Architecture Thread

[Orange Crow]

my two cents.. This is the city that I get to live in, wide and spacious and always looking for new ways to display architecture, especially after it was bombed in WW2. Love it.

Stumbled upon this building again yesterday; I love the sense of verticality, and the overall feeling it invokes as you walk in:




Also, really liked the texture the architect used on the wall here:


Added a bit of interest to an otherwise bland passageway.

Where is that? I like that pool a lot.

It's in Texas, I can give out the exact location in PM. =) Here's a few more photos of the water feature inside the building - it actually connects with another water feature outside of the building.

Totally understand, thanks for the pics. I like that pool a lot.

Haha well I was suppose to be posting snow/Christmas type architecture but I got distracted with pretty.

 

[LadyOfMystery]

Okay I'm going to -try- and not get distracted with other pretty buildings and post some more Christmas style ones!

I think that last photo is gorgeous. I love windows like that, very unique! It reminds me of Australia...

Also some of those last photos were taken in Austria and I just love that style of architecture and those castles. I would love to visit there and see them in person.

@SweetCarolina Some of those castles are in the Black Forest, Germany, right? My 3 x? Great grandmother apparently had rights to a castle there, though I haven't been able to find which one yet. They look amazing

I'm not sure, I remember seeing Austria as a location for some, but I don't remember seeing Germany, but some weren't captioned with a location, and you know some could actually be wrong with where they are. So they very well could be in Germany for all I know.

But that's really nifty about your Great(x3!) Grandma's castle. Was she royal?

Last (but certainly not least), Church on the Water by Tadao Ando:

fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. ='(

I'm not wild about the aesthetics he uses, but he does have an interesting design philosophy.

I'll admit, I have a weakness for epic treehouses:

I've always been intrigued by Richardsonian architecture - a revival of the Romanesque style, based on Henry Hobson Richardson's interpretation. This style usually featured thick, varied masonry walls / facades; asymmetrical masses; short columns; cylindrical (or sometimes square or polygonal) towers with conical roofs; and round Roman arches. Many buildings also included red sandstone and green roofs.

I like Richarsonian architecture too though I have to admit I had no idea that's what it was called till I read this post of yours.

Yeah, I don't think that particular style is too well known. I do like modernism, but I'm really fond of classical architecture in general.
