On the one hand it is so breathtaking that I could see it still admired as an architectural marvel in 400 years. On the other hand it looks not even remotely like its architecture belongs into the year 2007, or whatever 15th Century year the muslim calendar that is. Imagine someone building a new cathedral and choosing to build it completely in gothic style. I would consider that bad taste and a lack of imagination. Architecture of sacral buildings has evolved, so why would someone build a mosque in a style that was modern 1300 years ago? Here is what I mean: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faisal_Mosque#/media/File:The_Shah_Faisal_Mosque,_Islamabad.jpg That is a mosque that looks like it belongs into the time it was build in. If only our post modernist architects would take note. London is a collection of eye sores.

That carphone walkie-talkie monstrosity would look better if it fell into the Thames. Hideous.

Postmodernism is the worst or one of the worse trends in design and architecture. Things that make no sense, odd mashup of styles. Bothers me plenty. Edited April 7, 20206 yr by Kpeters

Funny isn't it. I'd say we are now coming back to the Art Deco style. It is difficult to combine your mostly old culture (building style doesn't adapt along the way), usually the rest does. But a building is mostly a ways to an end nowadays.. Victor Roos

April 10, 20206 yr FS20 will redraw the map of our flying ! I think that Namibia is going to a favorite destination. Love also the pic of Nebraska which is a little boring today in OLC NA. Who would have thought that Namibia and Nebraska would become attractive places to fly 😋 !
