Rating "Traditional western architecture" thread because why not, here we go wheeee
(this is all subjective opinions and I am just a very pretentious layman)
I like vertical lines
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1264601336357756930
idk about that one, looks like a very convenient photo tbh
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1264568062918955017
- no good verticals, only stressful horizontals
- soulless
- this sucks, they are correct
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1264543980064251904
+ effort
- looks stressful
- unnecessarily crony

it's McMansions, all takes are obvious
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1264231112898826240
+ verticals, all horizontals broken up, very stable feel
+ good partitioning
- a bit too straight, I miss some slight queerness in the structure

overall fine
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1264527998432227328
+ this goes up up, I like buildings that go up
+ original
+ overall just stimulating to look at
- looks like a penis

ehhh?
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1264330425633210368
not much to argue with, this is just amazing
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1264313773071966208
+ this looks livable, people with actual souls live here
+ buildings look slightly withered

comfy, true
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1264280172582318081
+ basic people's houses
- basic people's houses

This is totally fine and comfy, but nothing to get nostalgic about
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1264181761229144065
+ vertical, up, I like
+ pleasing structure
+ not chaotic but not boring and straight either

this is awesome, can not argue
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1264142855410520065

I kind of agree with that to the degree that the samey corporate shit could disappear
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1264124318964989952
+ huge and impressive
+ vertical up up
- churches are tacky
- wayyyy too crony
- I don't like huge churches, they always just look like they were built by a rich person with an inferiority complex
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1263941942288711681
+ this looks comfy and all
- but we can't completely neglect utility, who tf wants to live on a street like that
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1263910768367546369
+ original
+ fun
+ looks absolutely real
+ probably fine place to be in

I really don't understand their problem, this is amazing
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1263903511898664960
I'm fine with changing tacky shit to livable houses, though a bit too corporate, give em that.
Probably fire spot for parkour and skating now
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1263885341326487553
this is somewhat correct, you shouldn't build places around practicability only, but pretentious neoclassical trash wouldn't save modern cities either, even though they like to pretend it would
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1263590358585233409
THIS FUCKING IS MODERNISM
+ skyscrapers vertical, I like skyscrapers
+ shapes varied enough to not look boxy

I like
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1263560301020172291
+ unique
+ fun
+ texture pattern all over this
+ feels glass-ish but not like everyone can look inside, probably liberating to live in

10/10
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1263231111586623489
+ interesting pattern
+ feels stable
- wasted potential verticals
- kind of tacky and unbalanced

idk bout this one
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1263220318560272384
+ gives symmetrical building necessary queerness
+ sharp line go up
+ glass glass glass

This is cool lol
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1263183870947721217
I don't understand, don't rly care, but I hope this is ironic
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1263182173714157573
+ impressive and solid
+ interesting and intricate
- feels unbalanced and chaotic
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1263141936325554176
the new one breaks up the horizontal structure better than the og does, and has a lot of up up lines, that's all that counts for me
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1263125536043339776
+ lines go up
+ clocks
+ gothic
+ intricacy gives necessary queerness

I agree, I like this
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1263076883379478533
giv back 20th century. bad meme
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1263025738984370176
+ homely and comfy
- seems like a place a witch would live
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1262862287020396556
+ seems asymmetric but not chaotic
+ intricate
+ livable
- feels unbalanced

don't know about this one, don't destroy it, but also no reason to go back to this
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1262845215137767424
- bolsterous
- tacky
- just a brick

don't like
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1262838177473138688
obviously I love this, but do they know what concrete is
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1262758435151466501
- very horizontal
+ but pattern makes it look not so dashed
+ pattern feels naturalistic
+ floaty
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1262725326846689280
just fuck off with this one, honestly
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1262336963035697152
+ skyscraper do go up
- looks out of place
- heavier on top than on bottom, wtf is this structure
- looks awfully horizontal for a skyscraper

someone just had to be able to build a skyscraper I don't like
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1262089024614944770
never understood the Notre Dame hype, hope a postmodernist gets to rebuild this into a less tacky shape
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1261719397053407232
are these fucking reactionaries really complaining about this...
*sigh* I won't get into it, just adopt another political stance
https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Arch/status/1261666527457271808
+ supposedly designed after the pantheon
- lacks the soul

more often than not, neoclassical buildings are nothing but a facade that fails to capture what it's actually supposed to be like, also why isn't this colored like the Greeks would have
that's it for today, I've had enough of this
