Is the first one Poultry Place by the old English dude who would torture his students by making them draw their axons upside down and backwards. James Stirling, that's the man. Is that his building? I remember seeing it the last time I was in London. There was a Roman archeological site nearby.
It would be funny to "infect" all of the other threads on Archinect with this sick, hot, illegal postmodernism, so that when Paul comes back, it's all over the place.
Laugh all you want, but future architects will surely be signing petitions and holding up picket signs to save many of these buildings (I think it's already happened in the case of Piazza D'Italia).
wow, Steven... that monstrosity has been inflamed in Louisville for only 10 years? I'm hoping to visit Louisville sometime soon, as I've heard it's a nice city and a cool place, but sorry to hear that Louisville was still caught up in the worst of postmodernism so late.
Also, I agree that some of the postmodern buildings posted aren't as bad as I might have once said. Still, some are horrible. Just like modern architecture or vernacular architecture, what good architects do with a style is not the same as what overreaching mediocre architects do.
Paul isn't around! So, post the sickest, hottest and most illegal post-modernism you can!
Get it before it is gone!
OMIGOD, I DONT KNOW WHETHER TO VOMIT OR GET AN ERECTION.
UNF UNF UNF
SWEET JESUS, THAT'S NASTY!!!
NSFW!
POMO GANGBANG. OR IS IT A DAISY TRAIN?

THE COMPLEXITY... THE... CONTRADICTION.
OH NO? OH YES!
JOHN HEJDUK WATCHES YOU MASTURBATE.
Unicorn Ghost, I love you.
except for #2, a lot of these don't suck as bad as i remember.
but i see this one too often to have learned to appreciate it. still made that it was allowed to be inflicted on our city, even 10+ years later:
This one gets me excited....
The rendering....
The reality....

Some more Graves to throw on the fire... my sister used to live near this:
...and I got this in a garage sale for 3 bucks :)
and again, thank you mr. graves
this one time i went to italy. the girls weren't nearly as naughty as this little creature.
Yep, some of these are awful, but I'll always love the Portland Building. And I have a soft spot for PPG Place, for sure.
Oh Donna... This is just for you!
My dad used to work in One PPG place.
But Unicorn, I hate that building - though it never fails to make me giggle when it shows up here!

Lest we forget Philip Johnson's 500 Boylston and International Place in Boston.
that last Philip Johnson one I don't find too bad but ooh boy that Libeskind is an eyesore huh?
Another jewel from my old stomping grounds
ok, whoever designed the one with the giant ionic column should just be shot....now excuse me while I go puke in a bucket.
LESS TALKING... MORE WHIPPING OUT OF BIG, HUGE AND THICK POMO SKYSCRAPERS.
