What architectural style would you like to see come back?

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

wrote on last edited by [email protected]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?

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.

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.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]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.

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

I enjoy the Art Deco look. Sleek yet confident.

Those ai generated plants and hallway wall things bother me a bit.

I am 100% with you on Brutalism. It is often vilified but I think it's beautiful.

i would like more brutalism because my country desperately needs affordable housing...

After looking more closely, some of them do look AI generated. I still think the idea of the images is nice but it is annoying to see how it messes up the details.

Yes.
This is one of my favourite styles!
There was a very prolific architect in Sweden back in 1890-1915, who designed several iconic buildings of Stockholm:

He designed these absolutely gorgeous gasometers:
Just look at the drawings!
Here are drawings of other utility buildings at the same gas works also designed by him:
He also designed the fire station in Gävle, which as far as I can see is still in use:
https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gävle_brandstation
He designed this water tower in Stockholm:

There are plenty of other architects, but I just love that era of Ferdinand's work...

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Roman revival... most anything with arches, pillars, ashlar, obvious lentils, a strong sturdy feel.
But also high tech / structural expressionism.

Tudor-style wattle and daub, timber framed houses with thatched roofs.
It's relatively environmentally friendly and sequesters a lot of carbon, and is well insulated. Willow coppices can be grown just about anywhere too.

The city I'm in has a ton of art deco buildings, I didn't even realize until I was an adult that it wasn't normal.
I would want art deco everywhere, it's probably nostalgia talking, but I think it's hella classy.
