It looks like poorly poured concrete...

That is objectively one of the bleakest pictures I have ever seen.
This is supposed to be International Architecture Award Winning Quality?

Who knew that half the buildings in Mirny, Siberia were considered works of art worthy of International Architecture Prizes lol.
- donkeybeer 2y agoAre you from a country where houses are made of wood? Brick and concrete is the common house building material in many parts of the world.
- donkeybeer 2y agoThe Siberian buildings look much different from the examples you gave. They look like generic rectangular apartment blocks. Whereas this for example looks not much different from the old European tile roof houses https://www.theplan.it/images/stories/gallery91318/design-department-sichuan11000px.jpg https://www.theplan.it/images/stories/gallery91318/design-de...
- vonneumannstan 2y agoI genuinely weep for the soul of anyone who sees this: https://www.theplan.it/images/stories/gallery91318/design-department-sichuan11000px.jpg https://www.theplan.it/images/stories/gallery91318/design-de... and thinks "Ah yes this is worthy of an International Award in Architecture"

- turtlebits 2y agoThe "poorly poured" looks like board formed concrete, which IMO looks better than a single form. It's also for a stone sculpture museum, so fits the theme?
