The most peculiar part of the architecture is the collusion of the ancient russian monastic architecture and the Baroque style, but it works out very well.

By the by, this interiour dome is made out of wood.

Very difficult to achieve.

But now, back to Based Modernism

Heydar Aliev Culture Centre, Zaha Hadid, 2012

Very good formwork, hard to do so without the modern 3D digital monkeying.

The main concert hall

Absolutely hideous

I wouldn't say I disregard this opinion on the subject, but only in respect of your feelings.

The only good pic is the inside of the orchestra building

Ye, glulam should be more used in constructions like this, especially considering its bendable properties.

like on the outside it looks hideous

Fair, matter of opinion.

What do you think of the New Jerusalem?

Strange name

but the only thing I find iffy is the blue

other than that pretty nice

It has quite a bit to do with the proclivity of Russian Orthodox architecture towards colour in churches.

Visited it during winters only, so that was covered up by snow, beautiful stuff.

Here's something else you might enjoy

*Unknown*, Kizhi Transfiguration Church, 1714

Made from only wood, no glue or nails.

Very empty floor plan, making the management of the load of the timber structure all that more amazing

Is there a greater architectural tragedy than this

Looks very nice, also post the pictures of the inside.

I swear to god man

your taste is cucked as all hell

it...basically just looks like a copy of the white house
