The Architecture Thread

[kay]

Relevant to the thread, has anyone been watching "The Brits Who Built The Modern World" on BBC? It's all on the iPlayer at the moment... three hour long docs on the Hi-Tech generation, Nicholas Grimshaw, Norman Foster, Richard Rogers and a few others. Amazing to see quite how much of modern London they built between them... and how far afield their influence went.

Bah. I posted about it 2 pages ago.

That's pretty ugly. Probably the ugliest building you've posted so far.

Ah well, can't please everyone! I can admit that that style is pretty divisive. The interior is sick too, but wanted to keep it more about the outside.

they a bit harsh tbh. and i appreciate everything bauhaus, functional, minimal etc..

The inside looks more promising from what I can see of it. The outside's just a bit too 60/70s for me. Also, the outside could do with a wash.

For real, balcony needs a jet wash!

Here's the inside:

Inside is nice but a bit keyboard-tie and shoulderpads imo

I reckon annie lennox could be popping out from either corner any moment, if not that creepy guy she's always with

Except that in the summer, that surface will likely get so hot your skin will literally blister off your feet.

in summer i would live in the pool

[nowaysj]

I know, just getting out of it may be torture.

But in the southwest, when it is 115degF, I don't know dude, I think you might want shade over that pool. The scene is beautiful, beautiful lines, colors, textures, contrasts, forms, space, all that. Just that a human in that space, in that environment may not work.

Looks very un-lived-in

[nowaysj]

Gonna have a design aneurism, I swear to god.

Sorry! I've developed a terribly impolite habit of only noticing words next to pretty pictures in threads like this.
