Those "mansions" that imitate european lower-nobility/gentry estates do look like shit.whoch makes sense because theyre not authentic. They dont have a courtyard with stables repurposed as a garage, but a garage made to resemble a stable etc. They also obviously dont use authentoc materials but are typical shitty burger plywood with a stone facade, which just stands out as fake. Not to mention that they dont fit their environment.
Burgers should stick to making large mansions in their own style or where they dont have one, just make them modern so they actually look good.

Most of these houses don't even look half bad. If you want to see some really ugly fricking houses go to any upper middle class neighborhood with a large asian population.

They look pretty much the same. The difference is that in Asia it’s considered prestigious to have your house on a busy road for some reason, so you’ll have a lot of poorcel shanties and then just a row of hideous McMansions built by chink spies and street shitters, and it ultimately looks a lot worse.

Oh yeah, mcmansion heck based on that blog run by a "im with her, she/they'er" from baltimore in the part of the city ruined by hipsters.
While shes mostly right about mcmansions, shes still an r-slured c*nt.
Shes with the democrat socialist party, so you can understand why she hates mansions.

Whenever a dramatard talks about their finances they always turn out to be some suburban trust fund loser eagerly waiting for grandma to croak so they can inherit the mil she saved up in bonds. They absolutely consider owning a shitty Swiss cheese monolith to be the epitome of success.

Many such cases. I assume half the dramatards trying to make themselves look rich and/or claim to be successful homeowners are larping. From 3 years ago, but there's also this. (outdated, I'm certain things have changed)

It's an offshoot of mcmansionhell.com, where a snarky mayo foid critiques bad suburban architecture.
It's funnier when she does it though, because she knows architectural terms and also doesn't use too many words. I wouldn't have such a positive view of Kate Wagner except I really love brutalist architecture, and she does too.

brutalist architecture was literally created to build cheap, afordable housing
even if you like the style, saying you like the architecture is disgusting

These are cool (except for the first result), but isn't brutalist mostly rectangular government buildings and tenements? Just boring cement boxes.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Good brutalist architecture isn't just a box. To my taste, it should be something huge and concrete that makes you feel like it actively hates you and wants you dead. Which I love, because I think that's exactly the vibe government buildings should give. There's an honesty about a building that houses people who hate you looking like it's a building that hates you.
Same goes for a good brutalist tenement. It shouldn't just be depressing, it should be visually oppressive. When you stand at the foot of the structure you should be able to easily imagine a sound-proofed room with no windows at its center where they torture children "for the good of mankind" like in the Le Guin story.
Anyway that's why I like it. I know the root of the name "brutalism" doesn't have to do with "brutality" but I really feel like the ideas are inexorably linked now. It should be awe inspiring in the way that a Godzilla would be awe inspiring.

Joining the pretentious circlejerk that is contemporary architecture's love for brutalism is a quintessential redditism. They want to be out of touch with normal people because it makes them feel special and sophisticated, and every time it's brought up you'll find some tool going 'Actually, I like brutalism because...' followed by unbearable babble.
I'll give it to you that you at least realise it's terrible and like it for that reason. Regardless, it's too late, I already portrayed you as the soyjak.

I didn't realize it was in vogue, though that makes sense. Both for pretension and probably nostalgia? Lots of brutalist stuff in 1984 and Blade Runner.

The roof is a bit flat with how you can see snow on the mountains in back, but I like the multilayered material look and the view is nice. Maybe a window above the garage to break up the flat space a bit. I like the small lawns with the natural vegetation around.

It's cope. I used to do a variation of it when I was young and poor and car insurance was expensive. See a nice car and I'd tell myself it looked ugly or the wheels were too big or it was a garish colour and that only knobs would ever own it.

The repeated eaves look awful, especially with the part on the side that sticks out at a shallower angle. It'd look way better if it were symmetrical with one normal set of eaves. The part where they intersect at the top is a mess too.
