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

Big beautiful brutalistic concrete block with some fucking space!
Art Deco and Art Nouveau both are great in my eyes. (Neo-)Gothic cathedrals and churches are also wonderful.
But one more regional thing: I really like the Brick Gothic style. It is robust against wear and tear and still looks great.
You can’t go wrong with brick!
Yeah, art deco is definitely high on that list. Also brutalism. I especially love brutalist interiors.
Ah yes, the evil villain hideout style. Not a fan of it myself but it does have something cool about it.
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
Mud huttingdon:
I love this style of modern architecture from the late 1960s to early 1980s:
Iono, the first two are a bit much, but I do love the 3rd.
The first two remind me of tacky mafia style hotels and maybe Miami (Tony Montana) or Las Vegas “classy”.
I was thinking the tacky, overly-ostentatious decoration style you see in Russian government buildings, but yeah that fits too.
Aw man, I was about to praise the first two.
It’s architecture/interior design, taste is subjective. Like what you like, I’m not here to yuck anyone else’s yum, just expressing my own opinion.
And I like 1 and 3, but not 2. It’s cool.
Any style older than 60 years that is not brutalism.
Things used to have decor before, we’ve moved to a functionality only infrastructure, it’s always done in the cheapest way possible and it’s sort of depressing
I’m a sucker for that 60’s retrofuturism. The sleek, clean, and curved design of it all with such an optimistic view of the future is such a satisfying and happy vibe
I do love the happy vibes of that, and googie! Both are cheerful aesthetics :)

Gorgeous brutalist, not “let’s cut corners and costs” Soviet brutalist, but Le Corbusier tier.
Brutalism. The few brutalist buildings in my city are a welcome respite for the eyes against the blinged out crap they’re building nowadays.
Good brutalist architecture can take your breath away. It’s so solid, so permanent, so delightfully uncompromising.
We have some here! Unfortunately, it’s the Soviet style, “cold” brutalist architecture that feels quite hostile. I like the “warm” aesthetic like the DC Metro with the light playing across the waffle ceiling, and the warm, brown hexagonal tile underfoot. This picture appears to be artificially brightened:
Waterfall. Agile is a mess.
Brutalism and Art Deco, not together obviously, but +1000 points to Affordable Housing @supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz lol
Why not together? I can definitely see Brutalism exterior, Art Deco interior. I can slightly imagine some mutant fusion exterior but I’m no artist.
exterior interior ill grant you, mutant exterior… not enough drugs XD
Not yet.

Second Art Nouveau. Art Deco is nice, but I think over played as a throwback.
Also a fan of a neoclassical Italianate style. Square columns, low flat roofs, towers and tall thin windows. It can vary, but when done in a clean and simple style, it’s very nice IMO.
The full swathe from Art Nouveau/Jugendstil through Art Deco/Moderne and Bauhaus functionalism through to 1950s modernism. If I had to be more specific, I’d focus on British interwar modernism.
Idk about regular houses but I wish factories were still styled like they were in the Victorian era. There’s a reason so many got converted into offices and apartments

Cubism. Just to convince people it’s not about designing things any 5yo can build in Minecraft.
