  ...And even when your hope is gone

  move along, move along, just to make it through

  (2015 self)

  I like the Bagahus fortress, especially it's large northern tower.
  
  Dunno what the name for that architectural style is, but that's my favorite.

  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  Gothic, Metabolist, Victorian, Art Nouveau, Byzantine and Moorish architecture are all  pretty cool.

  brutalist architecture is kinda cool.
  
  If your building complex is large enough, though, having a mix of styles is kinda cool too.  So you can walk from one gothic building to a modernist building with just a hallway as a transition.  Think of it as a screen transition as the CD loads.  Imagine that the two buildings have different background music.

  it gets a bad rap

  
  

  due to the name

  
  

  (*the name actually comes from the french for "raw concrete", not the english word brutal*)

  Whores! we want "poems that kill."
  Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
  guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
  and take their weapons leaving them dead

  I kind of like modern Bauhaus stuff?
  
  Architecture's not my strong suit

  ^{i will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch}
  

  i'm not good on terminology
  
  i like the blend of classicism and modern design found in Giles Gilbert Scott's projects
  
  and Moorish architecture is amazing

  Bauhaus and Art Deco, much to the surprise of absolutely no one
  
  Also, Frank Lloyd Wright's stuff is nice too

  Frank Gehry is nuts.
  
  Not in a delicious way either.

  I live in a college where all the administrative bureaucratic buildings are brutalist--and yes, I know what it means. Look up Condon Hall or Kane Hall or Schmitz Hall. Man, fuck brutalism

  ⚠ THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS

  I actually have kind of a soft spot for brutalism, but that may be because one of my favorite public works projects ever, the Washington Metro, is unabashedly brutalist. (That and most of downtown DC is either that or Beaux-Arts.)

  Gothic is good too.

  "It is a matter of grave importance that Fairy tales should be respected.... Whosoever alters them to suit his own opinions, whatever they are, is guilty, to our thinking, of an act of presumption, and appropriates to himself what does not belong to him." -- Charles Dickens

  Gothic in brick or stone. Art Deco looks good in metal and glass, or at least a damn sight better than the ornament-hating pathology of modernism. Maybe concrete buildings should be Neoclassical.
