Postmodern Architecture: Discussion thread.

^ I didn't really like the Liberty Place that much when I first saw it in a skyline shot of Philly, but I really have turned to like it, after I have seen more and more different shots of it. I really hope they continue to stay as the tallest in Philly, because I think alot of those towers that are planned to be built there are really ugly.

Another Post Modern tower that I really think is one of the best looking of the era is Two California Plaza. I really think this one stands out among the crowded skyline of LA..

This is so calles Dancing house, Prague, by F. O. Gehry and V. Milunic, built 1994-97. The site was empty for half a century, as preceding building was destroyed in 1945 air raid on Prague.

Ah postmodernism, the idea that classical is a style to be imitated instead of a system to follow. The results speak for themselves, even the best examples shown here are mediocre. The quiet, dignified buildings standing next to Gehry's torture victim above explicitly demonstrate that classical only succeeds when genuine.

This building is located on the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina and combines old with new arcitecture.

I personally love Postmodern Skyscrapers, but I never really cared for low rise buildings in the style.

Anyway, here are some excellent postmodern skyscrapers in Orlando, Florida.



The Bank of America Building.



The Orange County Court House.



This is the tallest building in Orlando, but I always for get what it is called, Lol.

Oh my, I love postmodern architecture. Unfortunately, the area I live in totally missed out on it because the economy bottomed out in the eighties.

It decorative, yet not gaudy. Its functional yet interesting.  I love the combination personally.

 

Hail to the postmodern tower!!!
