    I unironically love this building. It’s brutalist, but with flair; most (not all, but most) brutalist architecture is also minimalist, which I find depressing. This is brutalist but absolutely not minimalist; it’s almost whimsical. I respect and applaud the architect for the wacky combination.

    I wonder if it’s technically Bauhaus; I’d expect more glass and less concrete.

    Is there an architect in the audience?

        Wouldn’t that be an exciting project to work on? Maybe it’s different for blue collar folks; I’ve always valued projects that weren’t the same thing I’ve done a million times before.

      It can’t be brutalist, it isn’t ugly and boring

      /s, but not really

        there are quite a lot of interesting brutalist buildings in the Netherlands. Betonbuurt in Amsterdam and Apenrots in The Hague come to mind

      I remember watching a video about a new funny shaped building in my city and they were interviewing the structural engineer. He said “There were only two 90 degree angles in the entire design and when we mentioned that to the architect he changed them straight away.”

    This is one of my favourite buildings. It’s all broken up from a distance, so it doesn’t look like just another one of the blocky skyscrapers from that area, and the glass is all tinted sky blue so the amount of visual pollution it causes is so minimal.

      Yeah, there’s no way all those seams are gonna hold in the AC/heat, and I would bet there’s sub-optimal insulation in all the floors and ceilings exposed to outside air.

    Here’s Montreal’s version

    There’s usually listings on realtor.ca if you want to look inside, sometimes it’s of units that have been kept as they were built!

    Also lets take a moment to appreciate the sheer waste of space that is this building. Sure, large concrete cubes are boring, they are however space efficient.

    I really hope that by the time my kids grow up I hear the words “We need to go shopping, our new place feels so empty”

      To be fair it’s half corpo cube. Check out some more pictures, just Google Valley Amsterdam.

    But it’s so cool! It looks like some brutalist paranormal manifestation. Like, I bet the distorted part of the oldest house (from the game Control) looked like this from the outside.

    If I were in trades, I would love working on things like this, because you couldn’t just work on autopilot. You’d have to think about everything you were doing. That’s much more engaging than, say, cutting a hundred 2x4s to all be exactly the same length.

      Joined 11 months ago during rexodus?Has over a thousand comments and almost zero posts? Follows gaming news mostly? Follows pc stuff - but not any of the LINUX stuff lemmy is known for. Also doesn’t participate in any of the large Star trek communities - because redditors are star wars prequel memers.
