Who here are fans of buildings? Architecture fans rise up and rejoice.
Haven't set foot in an IKEA since I found out about the Nazi skeletons in Kamprad's closet.Well, that'd be an IKEA fan... You build it yourself!
Prior to that, I frequented the cafeteria in the Costa Mesa/Santa Ana location. And bought a number of items from them. It's because I miss their Swedish meatballs that I invented Nordic Turkey Balls.
I haven't set foot in one in more than 30 years. Don't have one near me, but I couldn't pass up the joke with the perfect setup!
Another interesting video
I like A frame houses too
I think the application of this material will have significant impacts in Architecture & most Structural Building designs, especially in High Humidity or Near Water Front areas, public infrastructure.

The Temple of Venus has its own secrets:
phys.org
The ultimate building would be a quarry inside something like Ship Rock…a volcanic plug—carved into this:
The quarry is like a pit, with bookshelves on each terrace. Ancient concrete outside to weather the elements, modern UHPC for the interior, along with metal and wood:

I have seen mine fires where steel puddled but wooden beams remained.
The exterior of the plug coated in pitch, then glass. Drains at the base—-still above the desert floor.
The idea is a super-library…something that could hold the Clock of the Long Now.
Even if the Earth broke up—the building/batholith might remain intact as a spaceberg.
Osmium subfloors…lunar dust in the concrete mix with clinkers.
Impressive

Secret behind Temple of Venus's resilient construction uncovered
The material used to build the Temple of Venus in Naples has remarkably endured even as Earth's surface around it sank from volcanic activity, and researchers were curious to know how.

The quarry is like a pit, with bookshelves on each terrace. Ancient concrete outside to weather the elements, modern UHPC for the interior, along with metal and wood:
Would UHPC concrete render all bunker buster essentially obsolete
Normal structure concrete used in average building has compressive strength of around 5000 PSI, the biggest bunker buster in existent now can allegedly penetrated around 60 m of 5000 psi concrete. However, against 10000 psi concrete that value reduced to merely 8 m. However UHPC concrete...

Think Neo-Futurism is also a pretty cyberpunk-ish style.

Taipei 101 and The Chard are two examples, think this style, while maybe not universally liked, may still be considered more pleasant to look at than brutalism..

Interesting and they didn't go down any kooky roads
Ooh Prisons
It looks more like a shopping mall.
The architecture of building an interstellar generation ship
I'd disagree with a lot of those looking evil. They all look ready to be used in films, but not evil.^^ Cool
A list of evil looking buildings, not sure the architects were actually going for that effect but still..
50 Of The Most Evil-Looking Buildings In The World
As famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright expressed, the environment and architecture should organically blend into each other. But the designs you're about to see could only blend into the dark pages of a supervillain comic.www.demilked.com

Brise Soleil are the "modern" take on awnings - I guess they cast a less "solid" shadow
