  1. Does FCG stand for "fuck commonsense geometry"? Two bog-standard office buildings connected by a bunch of tinkertoy-looking stuff which is too narrow to contain actual offices -- can't see any practical function for it except maybe to give employees some walking exercise when they go from one part to the other. Then the big spherical thing that has nothing in common with the rest of the architecture. I can only assume it's an alien spacecraft that teleported there and accidentally impaled itself on the tinkertoy.

  2. Of course, the Russian one would be the ugliest. I'm not in love with any of them.

    2. How funny it is to read your impotent anger))) and if you were smarter, you would know Soviet and Russian architects and would know what Soviet brutalism is, as well as Soviet monumental classicism, or the Stalinist Empire style in architecture)) you are stupid and can only spit poison))

  3. + La Città Nuova, Messaggio per Milano.
    Antonio Sant’Elia e il suo manifesto di architettura futurista portò avanti il suo concetto di La Cittá Nuova. Sant’Elia era più noto per i suoi concetti avanzati che per ciò che effettivamente construì.

  4. The Russian brutalist apartment is brutal in more ways one, even deadly.
    With Russia being the world’s largest producer of asbestos, you bet this brutalist building is chock full of asbestos from its structural concrete, cement and insulation to its indoor ceiling tiles, flooring and walls.

    1. You live in the last century and are not aware that much, if not everything, has changed in Russia)) and you should get to know Russian legislation better, where it is forbidden to build apartments less than a certain standard)) and I think asbestos is in your head, it hasn't been used in Russia since the collapse of the USSR, you shit your pants if you think otherwise)) in general, I'm just amazed at how dense Western people are in their ideas about Russia, how strong propaganda is, it's amazing))

  5. GET OUT with Tokyo and Hong Kong... WOW. And that Russian piece of crap... I bet living in that thing is hell with shoddy workmanship and crappy materials.

  6. I like the TGV station. The soaring entrances remind me slightly of Eero Saarinen's Ingalls Hockey Rink at Yale University, a building that you might consider featuring in the future.

  7. FCG is the Fuji tv studio and hq building.
    That Russian high rise is like those dumps in Pyongyang North Korea where there are either no elevators or they don’t work and the place is ready to burst into a fiery conflagration from an electric short.

  8. Thanks to the author for sometimes posting photos from Russia, it's funny)) The funny thing is that of course these are old classic buildings of the USSR, in fact these are photos from the past, and have nothing to do with what is now. And it's very funny to read the comments of those who hate Russia, Russophobes, you are so funny and funny when you spit poison)) Hello to all normal people from Russia, the city of Perm, in the foothills of the Ural Mountains, we have a wonderful morning today)) And the author is also very interested in seeing the cross-section and attitude of the gay community in the United States, to President Trump, and to religion. I don't agree with many of your posts, but it's interesting.

    1. Juri - Thank you for your comment. I'm sure Russia is everything you say it is. People are people wherever they are.
