If there's something to take away from this video, it's that 'blue-glass' architectural aesthetics on some buildings are butt ugly. Lmao.
Hey architecture student from Poland: you choose really good examples from Poland

Radio tower on one the mountains in the background!
30:29 as an architect im tottaly alligned with your thoughts on the strenghts and weakness of post-modernism, deconstructivism an that trend that we call "faux-vieux" in french "fake old" wich is very common and of poor design from the 90's onward, always top quality content thanks brother !
The hardest episode to watch by far.. But now I know the name of style (or lack thereof) in architecture that I've always hated the most. Its everything that's wrong and visually horrific in modern Polish cities to me.
This whole series lives up to the quality of a university lecture and course; it's as if I will to have to take an exam after the end, it's fantastic
nice episode as always
Wow, I thought these ugly buildings were characteristic only of post-Soviet countries. It turns out that in Central Europe they also built such things. Today in Russia we call this style "capitalist romanticism of the 90s". Just google "капроманти́зм".
would love to know what that building at 10:20 is called and if its available in the workshop :)

@@Akruas thank u lots man! love ur content
I kinda thought the new building with the lake could be a retirement home of a Comfort Care Home for terminally ill, since it's so close to the hospital
If only all postmodernism could be as good as those churches.
everysingle building i saw being built in this video killed atleast one of my braincells each. Except for the red parkinglot that probably killed 10 itself. The video was great tho truly showing the uglyness of early post mordernism
I really enjoyed this episode! As a true classical architecture lover, perhaps I like postmodernism a little more than I'd like to admit :) (except deconstructivism, I still hate it)
12:51 as someone who quite regularly goes to the library there I just wanna say, stuff changed a lot in the neighborhood of it in the last what 10 years since the google maps satelites images were made of this place
this decade has LEGS. i hope there is several episodes of these weird creations
HONEY, TURN OFF EVERYTHING! AKRUAS UPLOADED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Train and cars clip at 7:49 😭
Nice. Keep it up please❤
Awesome video, great Infos and builds🎉
Idk, some of these building look horrible to me, while others are beautiful. I really like the ones with the nature part. The churches look amazing.
I can’t wait for it to get up to modern day!
Fantastic episode, I really appreciated the breakdown of the architecture. Can't wait to see how this escalates and grows in the 2000's Keep the great videos coming 👍
Interesting thing from Supreme Court of Poland building and just a cherry on the top of its storytelling - that picture from 15:45 was taken at its back-entrance, away from streets, behind underground garage ramp - basically the most utilitarian, technical side of the building. And that one entrance gets this - chaotic, deconstructivist space with randomly wandering caryatides of Themis and absolutely silly skybridge. A complete subversion of the seriousness of the front facade. So as a pedestrian you approach this massive, pompous front, communicating the authority and justice of the law. But then, if you get into that one side where there's "nothing to see", a backside where stitches are showing. you find absolutely jumbled mess. It's almost a joke - like behind all that seriousness, law is without much coherence or direction, a tower of duct tape, barely performing its function.
90s post-modern architecture that you've presented is mostly horrible but there are gems, like the library or the court house in Poland, or the hungarian wood churches
Another Altengrad, another good day
I was so waiting for this episode. Tackling all those more or less controversial projects was so good to listen and watch.
The Bank building in Ústí nad Labem is designed by architect Michal Gabriel and i have talked with him about it in his office few months ago. He is a funny guy. Also i think that this bank building is the best and most joyful posmodern 90s architcture piece in Czechia.
I really do enjoy hearing you talk about architecture whilst making custom buildings. (same goes for everything you talk about in your videos, it's fascinating)
In Russia that kind of architecture is called “Luzhkovsky style”, named after a Moscow mayor Luzhkov who really liked that thing. Now Luzhkovsky style is a synonym of dull taste in architecture. Take a look at Nautilus mall in Moscow, this is truly terrible
Yep, and also "Caprom"
12:20 I'm so proud that you featured the University Library, one of my very favourite buildings in Warsaw! I highly recommend touring the roof gardes to anyone visiting the city. 24:43 I'm not the greatest fan of the style but the Lehel Market looked so interesting! I think maybe the mistake of other architects of postmodernism was chickening/cheapening out on such outlandish and fresh details and the many, many crazy decorations. The "normal" kitsch for me just projects creative bankruptcy while this example is the exact opposite. It has as many thought out details as a gothic cathedral. It definitely suits it's use - a true temple of consumptionism. It's honestly how I would imagine the Wonka factory to look like :D 19:42 The Church of Holy Spirit in Paks was also similarly striking. I don't think I ever saw anything like it. It's so beautiful and alien despite being made of a really down-to-earth material. For the greater part of featured examples, the less said, the better, I think - as you put it in 12:08. As you can tell, I'm super pumped for the slideshow lecture format. I think you are a very knowledgable person and you have a lot to share with your audience. I learned a lot because of this series and it changed the perspective with which I perceive buildings and cities I visit. So, thanks for your work!
You should do a video based on the rise of corruption and crime in the 90s.
Below the small German town of “rinteln“ at the river “weser“ is a office building from the company “wesergold“ it looks like some pictures. Can somebody tell me, if it is postmodernist?
I absolutely love this series, it taught me so much about architecture and just the world around me. Now walking around Wrocław I can at least know what I'm looking at. Btw, for 2000's era buildings you could look at the Wrocław University's main library. It's always been a weird building for me, some sort of a mix of brutalism and postmodernism as I've read in some article. It's certainly monumental, inside and out, especially with a "corridor" leading between two sections.
Palms in central Europe? Surprisingly, its actually, possible, I have seen recently some windmill palms in the gardens in southern Moravia and western Slovakia, it would be possible to plant them with only small protection during the strongest winter in the mildest places. But those are definitely not the tropical ones as those in front of the hotel :-)
:-)
thank you once again for the architectural tour :) always informative and interesting
Another great episode that was really informative and love what you're doing in cities skylines as well.
I know it's still early in the 90's for Altengrad, but one thing I would like to see in this decade is the crumbling of the social welfare programs and public works. Like old hospitals rotting away and tramlines becoming rolling museums or being ripped out to make way for more urban freeways would be interesting. Love the series and can't wait to see where you'll go with it!
Where were tram tracks removed for urban freeways in the 90s?
What mods are used? Looks completely fine! Stunning!
My college had Walter A. Netsch Jr design 3 buildings on campus; the art building, music and library. They were only made out of 45 or 90 degree triangles. No other shapes, no square rooms. Multitiered because of how hilly my campus was but the library was a literal labyrinth. 😅 It's Wells College if you're curious, the Long Library, they have 3D tours. Sadly my school closed just recently.
Finally the plot in front of the church is filled up! Super cool editing of the building to make it organic. Very nice.
It is intresting , especially for prestige stuff aswell as creating a better connection between the person and features of the building than a giant block, but some things are just easier and cheaper to maintain
Feels so great seeing Lehel piac mentioned in this episode! I can see that building daily from my balcony and i love shopping there! Also I've studied at ELTE and those two campuses were my buildings :D
WOW man! You have a talent to make complicated buildings in this game with PO! Love your CS1 Series! :)
Tears of joy may fall on one's face when seeing a new Akruas/Altengrad idea
After using the M1 metro line in Warsaw between Politechnika and Świętokrzyska stations multiple times a day throughout last week I'm getting flashbacks every time I see pink structural elements...
Nice job
Last time you posted in this series was like 3 years ago I really like that you are using architecture and a theme that most other would not use
I'm posting in this series every two weeks
Best sentence this time: "Propably a place used by the 90's business men and politicians doing 90's stuff". Really cool episode, enjoyed it very much.
akruas is my summer school that i did not sign up for but i love
