I like mordern style architecture, lots of interesting forms, in collusus buildings, the Gerkin in London falls into this category, so does the Eden centre in cornwall. There are now so many diffferent forms of architecture that everyone perceives a building into a category that they feel is fit.

Georgian is wonderful, but I am al about the heavy ornate over the top Baroque and Rococo style especially the rusian version.

I like the old buildings best. Would really like to have a plopable cathedral large enough to see some detail. Those buildings, if you look at pics of the cities they're in, really dominate the skyline.

I like Gothic architecture. My university has some buildings built with Gothic architecture, and I find them to be really interesting.

Art deco and certain modern buildings. But I'll be the first to say that I HATE buildings that try to be too modern. Ya know, the ones with all the totally weird designs. To me, they've always been architecture's version of "modern art" (ie not really art).

Neoclassical forms of postmodernism, as long as it is applied in a tasteful manner. Oh, and as long as you don't use any of that EIFS crap...


SC4, Forevermore!

Currently preoccupied with architecture school...lurking with caution.

High Rise:  Gothic Revival, with Art Deco as a close runner-up.

My favorites are art deco, prairie school, arts and crafts, shingle, and 1960's era contemporary. That kind of contemporary has a wort of warm feeling that you don't get in modern contemporary.

I love Greek and Roman architecture, the arches, the columns and the statues. They are magnificent

I like good architecture!

Definition:

Good architecture = architecture I like :-)

If I had to decide I woul choose the "form follows function"-approach, like Bauhaus-architecture.
