So tired of all these buildings, that look the same inside and out. I really love the small details that reigned throughout older architecture. Not sure when they dipped out, but probably in the 70s? I am going to guess a lot of the handiwork I've admired is probably from the 1930s and before. But also I am not in Europe, I am in America. So I only know the architecture inspired by the og stuff (because I haven't been yet, but will go someday I'd imagine - health and $$$ permitting). I actually do like some post-modern stuff very much. I am not sure what these new complexes are in style, but they're like...capitalist modern. They feel soulless, tacky, and outright awful. People applaud them for adding multi-unit living spaces to cities, but who can afford to live there? And renting them feels like Russian Roulette thanks to market priced leasing. Eh. EH! Getting grumpy thinking about it.

So let's talk about these cool cat styles I've seen. American gothic styles, everything feels like your soul is damned and those little gargoyles are coming to get you. Choice! Neo-classical, where am I - in ROMA!? Marble, nice shiny and smooth marble. Don't like it on kitchen countertops, but man it's some kind of beautiful on monuments and other important buildings. Plus you feel like you're tap dancing 24/7. Art deco - man how these buildings take up space. I once seen a custom built art deco house that made me want to slap somebody cause it was so beautiful. Took a picture and I still have that mugger fugger where as so many have fallen off. Dream house! Dream style. Some kinda wonderful. Everything looks like the Emerald City. This style knows how to command space. And nothing needs to be this extravagant, but it is. And I like that. It's kinda like - you smell the cologne/perfume on this one. It's ritzy. Hell it might have literally been the reason for the invention of the word. Classy!

I like Prairie school stuff too but it's just kinda like if you took Japanese architecture and smashed it together with post-modern ideas. Eh! It's cool though.

Also I've always figured that if we're nature infinitely attempting to recreate itself - that buildings are just like...trees/hollows. So we're just making a bunch of steel trees. Meh!

Enjoy this word diarrhea. Enjoy it good.
