    Original question by @[email protected]

    I think art deco is one of my favorites. It still has a clean, modern look that ages surprisingly well, even a century later.

    The interior design of the brutalist era was often very interesting. That is probably what I would bring back.

      Googie. It harkens to the hopeful celebration of the future during the Space Age.

        Not at all dead but I'd like modernist style to become more popular again.

          Art deco, deco noir, and deco Gothic.

          And whatever the style is named for the hyper themed buildings. They were popular in LA for a long time and then spilled out in the 80s and 90s until the mid 2000s.

            Frutiger Aero. This is what the future should have looked like. It's a beautiful balance between nature and technology. I love the glossy, transpartent, rounded nature of it all. The colors are bright and fresh but relaxing at the same time.

            I'm also a big fan of mid century modern. It does a good job at incorporating a natural look. On the outside, the buildings are usually low profile and blend into the landscape well. On the inside, there's a lot of nice, quality natural materials like wood and stone that are used throughout.

              Ecclesiastical Art Deco. There are surprisingly few examples of this. Boston Avenue Methodist Church in Tulsa is probably the best one.

              That's where I had my senior <whatever non-denominational church thing right before you graduate> ! Stunning, inside and out. Much pink!

              Google says: Baccalaureate service. ? Sure doesn't sound right to me.

                And the Art Deco crowd wins the poll!

                Had cousins whose entire home, bar the sun room, was Art Deco. Not just the furniture and paintings, even the magazines and lighters and ash trays. Quite a collection!

                  I admit it's not my favorite, but I do still love that it's actually distinctive and has a specific "vibe". You look at it and you know exactly when it's from and what it's about.

                  I can't think of any 'style' in the last 20 years that has that.

                    Brutalism always fascinated me, i tried to model some building in 3d modeling tools in this style, churches public squares you name it. These huge, empty and vast monuments to the industrial nature of a building are like monolyths in a city. They claim their existance and you can't ignore them.

                      Not sure what it’s called but I’d like to see buildings looking like this again

                      This is the Library of Congress in Washington DC

                      Neoclassical, palladian, renaissance. The majour difference from similar archictectural styles is the geometric perfection of the spaces and the lack of irregular features. Opposite of that, baroque is all about overdecorating things and having irregular features, like a non spherical 'barrueco' pearl. Hence the name.

                          Beaux-Arts, I just think it’s beautiful and intricate. I’m also a fan of Frutiger Aero and Googie mentioned already, which seems contradictory. Is there an architecture style that somehow combines Beaux-Arts with either one of those?

                            I wonder how bad those big white renders would look IRL after some use and wear. Great opinion, though.

                              Yeah, one thing that I'm not a fan of with some of the pictures that I selected is all the white. I like it better when there's other colors and white is just the accent.

                                More Frutiger Aero photos because I can't stop thinking about how beautiful it is:

                                One thing about it is that it ain't the most homely of aesthetics and architectures. It's almost always in the context of a workplace, airport, shopping center, etc. In an ideal world I'd live in a mid century modern house and work in a frutiger aero workplace.

                                Edit: just found this really cool website https://frutigeraeroarchive.org/

                                      Cyclopean. We just don't make 'em like we used to; with big, irregular stones and zero mortar.

                                          I think art deco is one of my favorites. It still has a clean, modern look that ages surprisingly well, even a century later.
