Architecture Wall of Shame

La gaze normativul este complet absurd

Let's switch to English. Here is another example of stupid gas installation regulations, in Fagaras (Transylvania):


(they require that each flat should be connected individually and the gas counter must be placed at street level in order to be easily read)

Now let's look at another sample of modern architecture, a new "style", commonly found not only in Bucharest but also in Turkey and ex-Soviet republics (especially those ending in *.stan):



This building was apparently built with no permits about 8 years ago. It still stands, alive and well...

O pensiune din Busteni, constructie din zburdalnicii ani '90:



E amplasata vis-a-vis de palatul Cantacuzino.

Cah, tear it down!

[Rodeo]

A really bad idea of extending liveable space in Tecuci.

Looks as a store extension.

[Rodeo]

No, not the white building which is the public toilet of the railway station, but the balcony on the third floor which looks to have been closed with... mud? over iron frames and some odd-looking windows which could be reclaimed from another project.

[V. T.]

Oh, sorry, now I see. As in many other places the lack of education and poverty are the root causes of these problems.

[Rodeo]

I agree with you. And a total disregard of building codes and city regulations. The problem is that petty crime is tolerated in this country and I would loved to see a Rudy Giuliani's style "zero tolerance even on small offences" approach. More details on that can be found here.

This in our "original democracy"
Let's look at another masterpiece of naive architecture in Bucharest, near the new Basarab bridge:


(Look at the stairs, they have no railing and the rainwater pipes join in a peculiar way)



Of course, in the yard we can find an advertising panel:

In the old part of Sinaia town we can find Rowa Dany hotel, a very cheap looking building with white plastic windows and horrific green tar-tiles:



Look for comparison at the neighboring villa, see the beauty of the natural stone, wood, metal and the skill of yesterday's architects and craftsmen:





That hotel just does not belong there.

An those new villas from behind the old one

I hate almost all new buldings. The modernist style sucks + the new materials and interior styles makes a lot of bulding to look inside like a cheap bulding.
If you are trying to reproduce and old bulding is hard job, because you may have the same style, but the materials have and different look, so you have something that looks old, but dosen't gives you the feeling of an old thing.

And allmost all new apartaments (flats) buildings are looking as bad (or even worser) then the commie blocks!

Stadionul Dinamo a ajuns intr-o stare umilitoare. Din cate am putut eu sa vad, intrarile in complex sunt construite candva intre anii '20-40 si nu li s-a acordat deloc respect:





S-au autorizat tot felul de monstruozitati pe terenurile din jur.

[noikia2010]

Clădirile de la Stad. Dinamo nu au cum să fie din anii '20 pt. că în 1928 pe acolo încă era o groapă de extragere a nisipului (de unde şi porecla de "Groapa" dată stadiounului). În anii '30 a fost înfiinţat un velodrom acolo, însă cele mai vechi construcţii de la Dinamo cred că-s de la sf. anilor '40 - anii '50.

[Somebody902]

Eu m-am luat dupa ramasita aceea de catarg, precum si dupa tigla mediteraneana, populare in acea perioada. A fost doar o estimare.

Romanians strike back.

Oameni simpli care si-au dorit toata viata o vila maaaare cu WC in casa.
Vorba unui verisor pe la inceputul anilor '80: mamaaaaaa, am fost la X si am facut caca in casa
