Boston City Hall

[Blocko 3D]

It looks boxy and retro if you look at it right.

It's another one of those attempts to make something out of concrete that didn't look like a box, and instead it turned out as one of those 60's/70's architectual monstrosities.

You're from the area too?

It's called Brutalism, and it's really hit or miss.

I really like the Habitat 67 in Montreal though.

I'm not sure of the architect's name but he's designing the 9/11 Memorial, and his track record for buildings is terrible. He's like an autistic 6 year old with megablocks.

Habitat 67 is amazing, and I'm not from Massachusetts. I just love the Boston City Hall so much, Brutalism is probably my favorite architectural style.

It's from 1969...

Art changes obviously.

That's pretty cool, there's a lot of interesting shapes created from just lots of cut out rectangular areas. Elements of subtractive sculpture are pretty cool.

Crappy cellphone image from a while ago but I made this my first semester, the goal was to break out of a 12" cardboard box and create something using cardboard as the medium. It was the only one that ended up being displayed in the gallery for over a year.



It's like that on the otherside, and even the underneath is designed to be displayed like it's sitting, the underneath is a triangle and the bases of the rectangles with the circular cut-outs are the feet.

It is odd looking, but neat.

I do love me some Brutalism.

One of the dorms at my school and several other buildings on campus use the style.

I remember you linking this, then there was an SA thread on architecture and it was there too.

Here's our new building.

Hank Hill is the best philanthropist.

The huge glass front is actually pretty cool looking in person. The new building is also for my department, eat that you loving mechanical cigarettes.

I like the bottom floors and they look good but the two rows of windows by the top it just looks like the dude got lazy and I don't like that at all.

Generally Brutalist architecture is associated with the awful blocks of flats erected as cheap housing. Having spent a lot of time in south-eastern london with my ex-girlfriend, I've come to dislike the entire style, I can't really escape the vision of the run-down shells of buildings that pepper the Bromley area.

City Hall??? In my city??? heck no

I like our State house better. Gold Onion domes.
