RE: [Slice of HOME] Standing still for 5 seconds
It would be so nice if town planners thought like this today and built places that were more homely that we would like to stand and absorb the beautiful lines.
There's a lot of bad housing being built, but also some very beautiful examples I've seen recently. Playing with different colours and textures on the facades for example - I really feel the boring times are over - at least a bit, and at least here in the Netherlands! But yes, I think some of the older types of architecture have a special charm that's harder to find nowadays.
I'm a big fan of the older architecture although I have seen some amazing buildings in Dubai.
London has a mixture of both but the new housing in the UK is generally soulless. Just boxes for living in.
