Since housing twitter is talking architecture lately, here's some Western architecture with Chinese characteristics: while in the 2000s & 2010s, China was known for copying European buildings, local architects have since invented new designs that literally take it to new heights.pic.twitter.com/BA0Qfa3Zjw
Like in America 100+ years ago, colleges are some of the leaders on this architectural style. The "Chinese Hogwarts" is the Hebei Academy of Fine Arts, while the giant brick campus is the Sichuan College of Civil Aviation.pic.twitter.com/dyhzKufrna
Hotels are the other type of building that likes to go for castle-style architecture. On the left is a hotel in Dalian, while on the right is a hotel in the Huaguoyuan district of Guiyang, which was built entirely in the last decade or so.pic.twitter.com/JfVTTM5NnF
Chinese-style architecture also gets the large-scale treatment, such as the Hongyadong shopping mall in downtown Chongqing.pic.twitter.com/HY7bVZM8jX
some less glamarous stuff: it looks like China has also discovered the tower-on-parking-fortress design. Unlike it's American Sunbelt counterparts, this one doesn't have windows (perhaps only electric cars are allowed inside)pic.twitter.com/ubsuOl8x2U
Castle-style highrises were common the US about 100 years ago. Today they are rare, but some examples still exist, such as these recent buildings in Berkeley, California and Grand Rapids, Michigan.pic.twitter.com/duiybNFDPa
Yeah just stretch it out. Every iconic European building but stretched out. We should emulate this in the USA with single family houses. Just keep the craftsman, bungalow, cape cod etc. design but add like four more stories to make it a dense multifa@ily dwelling.
There are plenty of recent examples in the USA as well, such as this apartment building in McKinney, Texas, and these dorms in Provo, Utah.pic.twitter.com/ZWL0gkxaHr
For the record, I'm saying the discourse sucks. Don't care about the buildings.
