Architecture
I like looking at pictures of buildings sometimes so I thought we could have a thread for that.

It's not bad imo, I like glass buildings a lot because they will generally age well. Nice and shiny. Since you mentioned new libraries I would like to post our new one as it is impressive imo, opened 2013 and looks a bit like a cake, or a gift or something: Sometimes they change it to different colours, one time they changed it to claret and blue for Villa (I took this pic): This was for the Sikh festival, Vaisakhi, : For LGBT: I like it. It kind of reminds me of a fireplace. |

It's pretty cliche tbh.

It's in a modern style but come on, it's not like that concept hasn't been executed a million and 8 times in the past. Kind of like how Pollock ripoffs are generally more lazy than creative.
