I think art deco is one of my favorites. It still has a clean, modern look that ages surprisingly well, even a century later.
I’m a deco man myself. The world should look like the futuristic vision of 1920s and 30s sci fi movies.
Neofuturism.
Ecclesiastical Art Deco. There are surprisingly few examples of this. Boston Avenue Methodist Church in Tulsa is probably the best one.
That’s where I had my senior <whatever non-denominational church thing right before you graduate> ! Stunning, inside and out. Much pink!
Google says: Baccalaureate service. ? Sure doesn’t sound right to me.

Any. Very few modern buildings can be said to have any style at all. They are just functional blocks.
Googie. The Seattle Space Needle is a design of this style.
I always called this “The Jetsons style,” I had no idea there was an actual name for it.
Brick gothic
And brick factories with high arches windows and rounded roofs
Yes.
This is one of my favourite styles!
There was a very prolific architect in Sweden back in 1890-1915, who designed several iconic buildings of Stockholm:

He designed these absolutely gorgeous gasometers:
Just look at the drawings!
Here are drawings of other utility buildings at the same gas works also designed by him:
He also designed the fire station in Gävle, which as far as I can see is still in use:

He designed this water tower in Stockholm:

There are plenty of other architects, but I just love that era of Ferdinand’s work…
Brutalism always fascinated me, i tried to model some building in 3d modeling tools in this style, churches public squares you name it. These huge, empty and vast monuments to the industrial nature of a building are like monolyths in a city. They claim their existance and you can’t ignore them.
I am 100% with you on Brutalism. It is often vilified but I think it’s beautiful.
i would like more brutalism because my country desperately needs affordable housing…
I think Art Deco or Art Nouveau. I love both.
The city I’m in has a ton of art deco buildings, I didn’t even realize until I was an adult that it wasn’t normal.
I would want art deco everywhere, it’s probably nostalgia talking, but I think it’s hella classy.
Is your city called Rapture?
Victorian homes like this
I enjoy the Art Deco look. Sleek yet confident.
And the Art Deco crowd wins the poll!
Had cousins whose entire home, bar the sun room, was Art Deco. Not just the furniture and paintings, even the magazines and lighters and ash trays. Quite a collection!
Roman revival… most anything with arches, pillars, ashlar, obvious lentils, a strong sturdy feel.
But also high tech / structural expressionism.
(Uniklinikum Aachen, Germany)
Tudor-style wattle and daub, timber framed houses with thatched roofs.
It’s relatively environmentally friendly and sequesters a lot of carbon, and is well insulated. Willow coppices can be grown just about anywhere too.
Art deco for sure, possibly turn-of-the-century industrial as well.
Seriously look at this steam engine. It looks like it belongs in a massive cathedral or something.
