What architectural style would you like to see come back? (lemmy.ml)

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

Yeah, art deco is definitely high on that list. Also brutalism. I especially love brutalist interiors.

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.

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

Yeah I just don't want to come off as crapping on an art style for no reason.

Ah yes, the evil villain hideout style. Not a fan of it myself but it does have something cool about it.

[–] Libra@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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
