The second building looks nice but anyone using the term trad should not be listened to ever
is this r/europe but vaguely fascist pictures of european city centers all the time instead of just weekends?
It sucks the right wing is like this because massive housing blocks in the soviet style built using gothic architecture would be awesome
It's not a ruse. That is their politics. They genuinely get really mad about this shit.
And it's so superficial. I guarantee nothing in the materials or construction of that building was 'traditional'. Finished 2019, in Dresden? This thing was made to fit a budget, not to be an actual building.
Likely built by an underpaid polish company headquartered in Legnica or something too - not by German craftspeople
:frothingfash: These multicultural BIKE LANES make me sick, trad pedalheads fight for positioning with cars like our grandfathers did in the 30s before mumbles nevermind
I suspect the correct answer in this case is "When it's in a very small town, in a country with one of the world's lowest fertilty rates."
Even those places won't repurpose shit because they have a surplus of abandoned buildings, because there's no fucking people.
Also, places seeming to become ghost towns don't build new schools cuz they already have enough schools, so what's the point of the whine?
Oh and of course ghost towns in Europe wont let immigrants move in either.
Bonnewitz appears to be just over an hour away from Dresden by transit (half of that if you have a car), so I guess at some point it could find new life as a "commuter suburb of last resort," depending on what housing prices in Dresden are doing. I just hope no one with kids moves there because apparently they're not very serious about keeping schools open!
It has higher fertility rates, but even now schools are closing because there are literally no children to go. East Germany, and particularly Saxony continues to suffer the consequences of reunification.
School buildings are torn down and rebuilt from scratch every summer without anybody knowing 👁
honestly it's incredible that they go to the trouble of sourcing all the new-old-stock lead pipes, asbestos insulation, and moldy ceiling panels.
This is one of those subs that popped up around 2015 and the groypering of reddit. They would try to take over other architecture subs. There was one sub of old images of building compared to new. Any time something popped up of a renovated building they'd be there to start their cryptofascist shit. Eventually the mods had to step in and stop the antagonistic posting. r/architectural revival was a spin-off sub they made because they were kicked out of other subs.
They just feel like culture warriors out of time. Even Trump couldn't be bothered to give much of a shit about it, he just demanded federal buidlings use the neo-classical style. Something I'm sure will just go away and nobody will ever care about.
This is a total relic of 2014-2018.
It sounds like they tore down the top building to build the bottom one? There's nothing "sustainable" about any of this, because I guaran-fucking-tee the bottom one will also get torn down to build something else as soon as it's convenient to do so.
starting to feel like architecture fandom was a mistake. like where did all these removed who think that the most important part of a building is the visual aesthetic (especially the outside) come from? Like I know actual architects do more than that, but somehow we've got all these internet shitheads who presumably go about 90% of their daily life in their american vernacular single family suburban home in Cockasuckee, WI absolute assblastin' FURIOUS that steel and glass exist.
I know you're joking with Cockasuckee but uh, you're not too far off lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coxsackie,_New_York
Can a Midwest Girl and an Upstate Girl Really Fall in Love!???
this is much closer to the opinion I've gotten from the architects that i know
Building big peaked steeple-roofs but failing to include any insulation in my new constructions, because I understand why architectural decisions are made and what purpose "traditional" forms of construction served.
I think the little yellow German school building probably is well insulated
Maybe. I see plenty of "Traditional" buildings with the steeples or greek columns or whatever built up in Houston. They're all paper thin and insulate as well as a sieve.
Compare that to the modern construction. I guarantee those windows are multi-pane and made with tempered glass. The extra natural lighting, the underside parking, and the flat slanted roofs all work to maximize space with minimal energy costs.
Like, there's a reason we've updated construction designs over the last 60 years. Its not just because we hate "traditional" aesthetics.
I believe such things exist in Houston and also (though much less) in Saxony I just do not believe this is an example of that. I quite like it personally. I bet its also double-glazed which is standard in Germany
I mean, as a historical relic, its fine. As a new construction? Its just very strange to fetishize building and materials techniques that were superseded a century ago.
Barring certain extremes, like US automobile-centric design seen in shit like fast food restaurants, it's pretty rare for architectural decisions to render a building unable to be repurposed.
Not sure where the building in the top image is located since the grammar in the whole post is very stilted and unclear, to actually see how realistic that it is, or how realistic the need to repurpose it would ever be considering it was build to that scale to begin with, but that's my general analysis.
some remodels you might as well tear down and rebuild like if you have to run a bunch of plumbing and shit.
idk what the fuck is goin on in the tweet because OP is a :LIB: and didn't post the link
Are they whining because the building at the top has windows or something?
