MODERATORS
The full swathe from Art Nouveau/Jugendstil through Art Deco/Moderne and Bauhaus functionalism through to 1950s modernism. If I had to be more specific, Iβd focus on British interwar modernism.
I want anything that isn't low effort, bland, inoffensive. I hate modern trend towards boring. I love everything that isn't landlord white.
Second Art Nouveau. Art Deco is nice, but I think over played as a throwback.
Also a fan of a neoclassical Italianate style. Square columns, low flat roofs, towers and tall thin windows. It can vary, but when done in a clean and simple style, it's very nice IMO.
Art Nouveau. It looks so whimsical. I'd also like a Gothic/Gothic Revival.
The. Constructivist Era of the Soviet Union; abstract art meets cubism meets the proletariat.

Iβd like for Baroque furniture to come back. Hella sturdy.
Hey I love Union Terminal! Great museum. And you're right, the building is beautiful. The massive mural in the entrance area is my favorite piece of any building I know of.
Generally speaking, art deco, for houses specifically, Georgian.
19th century german architecture + red brick Gothic.
Brutalis Style
Definitely Brutalism. Thereβs a new thing where they can grow stuff on the concrete now, so I propose Eco-Brutalist as a new (not new) thing.
Thats a good thing Eco brutalism! One day i have enough money and will build a house i brutalism π
Art deco rules so much
Something that doesn't look or feel like it was made at a factory
Check out art deco metal band Imperial Triumphant
Likewise, it's beautiful, so elegant.
There's some good Art Deco in Guillermo del Toro's Nightmare Alley
I might have to check it out, thanks!
Anything that is not a square shaped shit brick like so much of the past 50 years.
