As an European, seeing modern American airports with Greco-Roman architecture makes the environment tacky as hell. As something from Las Vegas.

- ericmay 10mo agoAs an American I think they’re tacky too. That style of architecture for an airport doesn’t make sense really. Well. I bet it could be pulled off. But the “architects” designing the airports are the same people designing Greco-Roman architecture on disfigured American McMansions.
- anthk 10mo agoArt Decó, on the other hand, would look pretty Americana and elegant for your buildings. It's basically the classical American city depiction for Europeans (noir movies, Superman, old comic strips from newspapers...)
- ericmay 10mo agoYea I don’t mind Art Deco at all. I think the car company Cadillac, which is based in the Detroit area, which is in my mind where I think of as the home of that style (even if it’s not), started including Art Deco as part of their design language and I think it’s a good use.
