Creative Architecture Thread

[Techno-Druid]

As of late, I've had an interested in looking st weird architecture, whether it's a fully finished building, concept art and blue prints for planned buildings or even digital art of hypothetical buildings.

Anyone also interested in creative or unusual architecture and/or got pictures?

Not really, but this house looks like it has boobs...



Which is odd, as I have boobs that look like houses.


I don't really. Or do I? No.

It's a donut shop with a big ass donut on it. It's like Andy Warhol art.

There is not one building shaped like a sexual organ in that link, stop trying to derail Atethecat's thread.

You should stop talking.

Unless this donut shop was the first one to ever come up with the idea of making a sign in the form of the product that´s being sold there´s nothing creative in it.

You don´t even see what a ridiculous comparison a donut shop sign to andy warhol art is.

To be fair, Warhol art is commercialised crap, it was even intended to be commercialised crap, so a comparison to a crappy donut shaped advert on top of a donut shop is fairly close to Warhol art.

Well unless the donut shop was putting that thing up there to highlight it´s crappy donuts, then it might be a proper comparison, i somehow doubt that.

The Gherkin thing in London is interesting. But generally I'm anti-modern when it comes to architecture. A lot of it looks to gaudy or ugly to me.

I am not sure if Randy Donuts are going to be top quality, it would most likely be a name of a dodgy strip club in Britain.

How far back in the modern scale do you set the threshold?

This is considered modern, and it's a little older than a century


this is post-modern or something

modernist architecture architecture generally is a 20th and beyond movement architecturally. Yes, Post-Modernist too is OFTEN not to my liking.

Modernist and Post-Modernist are stylistic terms, not specific.
