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

      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.

            Neofuturism.

            Example of Neofuturistic architecture, floors form a structure similar to a ribcage from a central elevator shaft. The Marriott Marquis in Atlanta GA.

              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.

              Frutiger Aero was heavily used in Elite Dangerous for a faction's ships. I love that look! Didn't realize it had a name.

                I knew I regonized that structure. Read the caption you put and yep, I've been there. Absolutely awe inspiring piece of architecture.

                  Googie. The Seattle Space Needle is a design of this style.

                    I always called this "The Jetsons style," I had no idea there was an actual name for it.

                      I'm a deco man myself. The world should look like the futuristic vision of 1920s and 30s sci fi movies.
