    If there's something to take away from this video, it's that 'blue-glass' architectural aesthetics on some buildings are butt ugly. Lmao.

    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.

    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".

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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 :-)

    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!

    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.
