This, my friends, is the poetic beauty of modern architecture and city planning. The democratic way of building.
Unlike the architecture of tyranny (pic 1), build under the yoke of a monarch, citing older architectural styles from eras of even worse suffering, reminding the working class of the suffocating power of their masters, pic2 presents us a liberated classless blissful society.
Light and air for everyone. Wide streets for modern forms of transportation. Ornamentless stricly functional building design unspoilt by symbols of feudal oppression. The architecture of democracy and freedom. The architecture of a bright future.
Thank you for bringing modern city planning into the world. Thank you, Le Corbusier. Thank you, Switzerland!
This effect is known in Germany as “British city restructuring”
There was a time for that, and there’s a time this. Looks like they managed to double the usable surface area, and get rid of a white elephant (a big-ass fountain) in one swift move. The buildings are a bit boring, but I’m sure they’re functional.
Do you have any idea how expensive it is to keep on of them in good condition? We have thousands of them
maybe, just dont bomb it?
For 5 mins I thought I saw the bottom one walking through the northeastern part of the city
That’s what carpet bombing does to a city.
Could genuinely be a picture of my city. Sure Hitler did a good job bombing it but the council did way more destruction in the 50s and 60s. But now nimbys put a stop to any actual development to recover the beauty in the city
Wow, it’s uglier than what we build in Belgium! Bravo
Yes, yes, yes, and it still goes on like this. New houses look like bunkers from 1944, cities are ugly like shit. I don‘t know what architects in Germany learn at universities but I would send them all to Italy or Spain for learning beautiful building that feast the eyes.
Descendant is gonna be Muhammad, so it’s fine, he’ll destroy it anyway
Because after WW2 æ, architects said “We need a clear distinction between new and old” and that’s why modern buildings look like shit.
I would expect this from the Belgians, not the Hanses, so I say this is fake.
what do you mean, that is a perfect location for consuming illegal narcotics
i Mean, Blame barry or some Dimitri
At First I thought it was Roma Tiburtina metro lol
We’re bequeathing climate controlled interiors, fire-safe building construction, and flush toilets. They will thank us every time they don’t have to carry a basin of their piss and shit outside every morning.

Wasn’t Hans, it was Barry
Dresden especially brakes my heart when visiting
Don’t start shit, don’t get flattened.
Simple as.
Coventry sends its regards.
Hannover or Mannheim?
Or.. dare I speak this unholy invocation.. Ludwigshafen? *shudders*
