I’ve never understood the fascination with communist-era and brutalist architecture among Western Europeans and Americans of a particular political persuasion. There’s so much more to Middle and Eastern European architecture than that. But I guess it’s not cool to go around photographing the beautiful 18th and 19 century architecture all the capital cities in that region have.
- golemiprague 5y agoI have found them both fascinating, the city centres are beautiful and the soviet era hoods also have their own charm and it is very interesting for someone who haven't seen it before. It is just natural curiosity and has nothing to do with political affiliation.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoI’m in this camp, so I can tell you one perspective. It’s got nothing to do with political persuasion. It has everything to do with novelty and curiosity of the strange and different.
