lol, save the gizz for this one. great engineering that one's gizzin too! sounds lame, but i only like designs that marry form AND function..... with an emphasis on the latter. too much sculpture out there (e.g., starck) with superfluous curves and surfaces....... what really gets me off (pardon the image) is when i come across a minimalist kick-ass design where the structural integrity / practicality of the interior remains intact. instant winner. like the new MoMA do post some of your drawings if you have any. you've got an audience here. |

Amazing pics. Nice thread Garcia. Keep it all coming guys. Rockwell in Makati City Manila - the interplay of lights on skyscrapers emphasize the somewhat usual architectural design, sleek but stunning, an understated elegance. Can’t wait to see it when other buildings are finished.  Makati City with the proposed supertall.  One Legazpi Park  Along Ayala Avenue   |

To accompany the art thread, post pictures of architecture you think is, good, bad, interesting, abstract....etc. This includes buildings, interiors and street furniture. from any era. I will post these examples of concrete structures as they are already on my computer:  I think this is montreal right? |
