Favorite Architectural Styles?

[Queequeg]

I think thread title is pretty self-explanatory. 

I like Art Nouveau, Brutalist, Byzantine, Romanesque and traditional Russian and Armenian architecture a lot.  Brutalist sticks out, but I like the combination of harsh geometric lines with an affinity for complexity that you don't see in the International Style or Bauhaus.  Armenian is probably my personal favorite; a large part of my appreciation of Armenian art and culture came from my love of pictures of the ruins of Ani.

I quite like traditional Muslim architecture. I enjoy other old styles (classical Greek, Egyptian, Japanese).

As for newer stuff, I'm a big fan of Minimalism.

Are we talking Andalusian, Iorm?  There's quite a bit of difference between Turkey, Grenada and the Taj Mahal.

I like Brick Gothic as it reminds me of my hometown.

I like Pretensionism.

That'd be my favourite too. Especially the columns.

The Prairie School.

If we talk more monumental stuff, I'm unsurprisingly partial to Art Nouveau.

I like Pretensionism.

Just because someone can appreciate something you don't understand doesn't make it pretentious.  However what is damning is some of his choices.  Brutalism?  Rusisan?  Bleh.

If my hometown could be a woman, you'd be all over her.

My home town ain't much to write home about, so to speak; in the 1970s the planners decided it need a bypass (relief road), so they built it right through the middle of the town.
