That sounds more like a condemnation of 20th Century buildings. That thing looks like someone fricked up a 3D Tetris game.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder though. I mean, even Whoopi Goldberg gets sexxed every once in a while.

Others have mentioned Art Deco and I do like that style. It works well on large projects---high rises, office buildings, clubs, etc. but I don't see it as a great alternative for building houses.


I agree with that. In my head I thought of the OPs question in terms of larger buildings not houses.

I disagree, I’ve never seen a brutalist building that I’ve liked. The one you posted is no exception. Concrete, especially in the flat bland brutalist style, is not something to be showcased. It’s ugly and depressing. Every brutalist building makes me feel like slitting my damned wrists.

For Louisiana, I would love to see the classical or a French creole vernacular in commercial buildings. Something stately - not the crap designs like the downtown library. Imagine if that library was like an old antebellum home in downtown by the river.

ETA - big 3 or 4 story with wrap around balconies on each level overlooking the river.

An architecturally significant structure
(One of the distinct characteristics includes painted PVC pipe.)

It doesn't surprise me that this would be your favorite style of architecture.
