again repping some old stuff, although architecture is not in a similar slump as general art is. maybe because those projects are very expensive and not every fuckhead gets a chance at realizing their dreams.
so, i have seen all of them in real life and because of that i like them. its really hard to get that feeling from pictures:
awesomely, huge building when you see it in real life, most people dont like the "newer" green-white facade, but i think it fits quite well. dome in florence
this is a very nice church in ravenna, san vitale. its very old (like 400-500) or so if i remember correctly.
quite recently, st cajetan in munich, very "weird" approach for a baroque church being kept in white, white everywhere.
for other reasons, st laurentius and st. sebaldus in nurembed. see how stuff looked after 1945:
(well this is actually taken from the top of the towers of st. lawrence, i cannot find a good picture of the interior destruction, but you get the point, the restauration efforts were extraordinary in a time without much money and workforce.
and now (only st. lawrence), but st sebaldus was hit harder. pictures are just hard to come by.
