Okay so this is really bugging me because people on Tiktok seem to not know what Gothic Architecture is for some reason and keep arguing about it and not admitting their wrong so...

Gothic Architecture:

Gothic Architecture is very old, some examples being from the 1200s to the 1600s. Some examples are Cologne Cathedral, Canterbury Cathedral, and lots of other Cathedrals in Europe.

And NO it does not have anything to do with the modern goths and stuff, it's an architecture style. Which confuses people for some reason.

And no, for some reason people think just because its a church or cathedral means it isn't Gothic Architecture when ALMOST ALL Gothic Architecture examples ARE Cathedrals and religious buildings. It's a building style, just because its a religious building doesn't suddenly mean it's not Gothic Architecture.

I love Gothic Architecture and some people are very uneducated and like to speak on things they don't know about even if it can take only a single Google search to prove them wrong. Please educate yourselves on something as simple as architecture before claiming some building isn't Gothic. Thanks

If you'd like to add something onto this post or correct me on anything, feel free :))

How has “cottagecore” come to mean fantasy billionaire’s dollhouse dreamland for royalists?

#how the heck is THIS “cottagecore”? #I don't understand hashtags any more #I mean yeah it's pretty in an Architectural Digest sort of way #but it's NOT what I associate with (checks notes) the “simple country life” cottagecore allegedly espouses

I had this idea for a while now but I didn't really have time to go shoot photos, so finally I just digged through my old photos and found something I could use.

Postcards from Revachol vol. 1

The technique is digital painting on photos (photos are mine as well), don't worry I didn't paint all that

The thoughts behind this project (or a deep and thorough analysis of Revacholian [suppposed] architecture and urbanistic, long):

Ever since I played the game I have been thinking of how Revachol reminds me of my birth city (where I have been living for past 25 years) and I couldn't really get why. But then I started to think. And oh boy, not in a long time was I this happy to be an actual architect.

I know we have never seen any of Revachol besides Martinaise but what we know is that Revachol have been founded around 380 years ago. If the cultural/architectural periods in Elysium are comparable to what happened in our world, that would mean the city's beggings were in something baroque-ish, and it's golden age was probably at the turn of baroque and classicism. What is important is that Revachol is not a medieval city. There is no old downtown with a city wall and narrow, curvy streets. Baroque and classicist cities were all about good planning, composition, wide streets, representative buildings in strategic places, and later also good functional layout and generally being a good-to-live place. We know the city must have been a great, rich place, very representative, as it was said to be the capital of the world. It was a monarchy until the communist revolution some years ago, before the events from the game. What this pattern reminds me of, is actually the history of Saint Petersburg. Also a baroque/clacissist city, also a capital, also got through a communist revolution.

We also know that Revachol, or at least it's parts were based on a mashup of Paris and Tallin (the latter I don't know much about, unfortunately) with some 90's post-communist CEE climate sprinkled on top. Paris has been re-built at some point of its history (around 1850), the streets have been widened, the city structure got more organised, the facades of the buildings gained a characteristic style (there was an actual law how they should all look but it didn't work very well honestly, but still gave the city a more consistent style)

Okay. That was about St. Petersburg, Paris and Tallin. Where is my city in all this mess?

Let me explain.

My own city isn't one of those cities with old boulevards and medieval centers. It was a small city until 1820, when somebody noticed its potential and started to build factories. With the factories, there came workers and with the workers, a need for places to live in. The city developed quickly, but at that time the cities didn't really grow in an uncontrolled manner, it had to be planned. And those plans were mostly inspired by Paris and Saint Petersburg. The tenement houses in my city were practically copied from those one in Paris and the whole urbanistic design of the city was based on the urbanist laws in St. Petersburg. So now you can see why that was important.

Another thing is that both Revachol and my city are cities of immigrants. My own city at some point was said to be "a city of four cultures", are there was a similar number of Jewish, German, Polish, and Russian inhabitants. People came here to work in the factories from all over the country (or rather what have been the area of our country before the annexation, as there was no country of Poland in the XIX century) and they stayed, started families, and started to be from here.

And then, after WWII my country fell behind the iron curtain. In the communist times there have also been major architectural changes in here. Some of the buildings in city center were knocked out, some typical socialist architecture started to appear. In the pretty much city center there is a high-rise residential area of concrete blocks that are 20-something floors high. And looking at those blocks in the distance here really, like really reminded me of this part of my own city. And here we come to another point of this ridiculously long essay, but I guess that is the last of the important ones.

There are no modern-looking skyscrapers in Revachol. Taking the technological level of development on Elysium seems similar to the ~90s in our world, there should be technologies to build high. The thing is, there is either no money for that or no need (or both). I know this is a general tendency of European cities (Paris, Stockholm or Amsterdam doesn't have any modern American-style skyscrapers too), but this was something I noticed about my own city a long time ago before I even considered studying architecture. The highest buildings are those high-rise multi-families, churches, and chimneys. In Revachol we see the chimneys of the power plant as the most prominent thing in the city panorama.

One more thing is the socio-economical aspect of my city. The golden age of the city passed with the XXth century. The city was poor, neglected, and dirty, the city center was a place where people were actually scared to go in the night. There still are parts of the city where I would rather not go after dark. Times have changed, but the renewal of the city takes time, and what we still have, are tones of half-empty tenements, with closed or barely-alive little shops on the ground floors, tired people, and a lot of graffiti everywhere. And especially hearing of Jamrock, I just couldn't take the visions of familiar places I walked myself thousands of times off my head.

(The last one teeny-tiny detail. Unimportant. But if anybody got here, I have to mention it. Remember how I mentioned the industrial character of my city? It was actually mostly the fabric industry.

And we know Precinct 41 has its seat in the old silk factory. That's all. That's all I had to say).

Even though Łódź is not nearly as big as Revachol, I feel like there are particles of her. They are hidden under the roofs of tenement houses, in the abandoned shops, in the smoke of the cigarettes of strangers at bus stops. They are not easy to find and most people will pass by not even noticing. But if you know where to look, maybe they will let you find them.

Or maybe she will find you.

Detailed felt OC comm for @TrueStarlink (on Twitter), thank you very much! cx

#it was a challenge to balance the simple and detailed on this structure #bc the Big Ben has many many tiny details #so for the felts and the chibi of the comm I had to simplify it #but make it detailed enough so it doesn't look naked or lacking #I really enjoyed doing this comm c: #hopefully with the ongoing course I'm taking I will be even better at drawing architecture #chibi #cute #felt #crafts #bigben #londonclocktower #london #art #illustration #oc

Minimalism is currently a nightmare brought to our reality. Fuck greys and whites and shit.

Give me drama.

Give me pastel colors in houses again. Stop making HOMES look like HOSPITALS.

Give me multichrome and iridescent characters. In fact, give me character designs that are SO over the top that you almost HAVE to love them. Fuck the "mary sue designs are bad" bullshit.

There's nothing inherently wrong with minimalism itself, the problem is that Capitalism is using it to wash away color from our world, and it's changing how we judge the things around us.
