That building is in Melbourne, right? I was walking to the Docklands and I saw that and just thought "Fuck, who would seriously make that into a building?"
 
the manchester war museum is pretty bold, there are loads that i like but can't think of the names...probably infulenced by my dad who is an architect though...

again repping some old stuff, although architecture is not in a similar slump as general art is. maybe because those projects are very expensive and not every fuckhead gets a chance at realizing their dreams.

so, i have seen all of them in real life and because of that i like them. its really hard to get that feeling from pictures:

awesomely, huge building when you see it in real life, most people dont like the "newer" green-white facade, but i think it fits quite well. dome in florence

this is a very nice church in ravenna, san vitale. its very old (like 400-500) or so if i remember correctly.

quite recently, st cajetan in munich, very "weird" approach for a baroque church being kept in white, white everywhere.

for other reasons, st laurentius and st. sebaldus in nurembed. see how stuff looked after 1945:

(well this is actually taken from the top of the towers of st. lawrence, i cannot find a good picture of the interior destruction, but you get the point, the restauration efforts were extraordinary in a time without much money and workforce.

and now (only st. lawrence), but st sebaldus was hit harder. pictures are just hard to come by.

AHAHAHAHA! Of course they do!

Build-ability seems to be something that a lot of "good" architects neglect. They don't have a problem coming up with cool building shapes and innovative materials they want to use. They do have a lot of trouble combining those together.

For the most part I'm into classical/renaissance/gothic architecture because all form in these styles is based on function and mathematical principles. Also the Architects designing these building managed the construction of them which adds another level of respect.

Brian Mackay-Lyons.

Small world. He is currently one of my professors. I've stayed at those cabins (2 weeks ago was the last time I was there actually).

He is unarguably the most prolific/famous Canadian architect east of Montreal.

Here is his website if you want to check out more.

Eero Saarinen's "Yale Whale" is a pretty neat building. I don't really like much of Eero's work though, most of it is pretty dry.
