ConstantineK 26 | 1,284 11 Mar 2009 / #1I have seen an accusing post about Stalin's architecture in one of my off-topic thread. what do you think about it. May be you have your favorite pieces?
OP ConstantineK 26 | 1,284 11 Mar 2009 / #6I don't have possibility to see your photographs, but think one of them is Stalin's skyscraper in Warsaw? But why you can revere baroque, refusing the same Stalin's patterns?

time means 5 | 1,309 11 Mar 2009 / #11i remember seeing the tv tower (top dome) decked out as a football for the 06 world cup and the toilets in the ufo bar are funny.
OP ConstantineK 26 | 1,284 11 Mar 2009 / #12Funny? Why? Stalin's architecture was not dedicated to be fun!I turned the set with pix on my phone. (to pawian)
z_darius 14 | 3,964 12 Mar 2009 / #13I didn't realize there was such a thing as "Stalin's baroque".Stalinist architecture strikes me as similar to Nazi architecture. Overblown, huge, inhuman. It has certainly little to do with baroque. If someone has any idea what baroque is, that is.

OP ConstantineK 26 | 1,284 12 Mar 2009 / #15Something like this, yes? :)Nope, it is neo-baroque style.I didn't realize there was such a thing as "Stalin's baroque".Oh Brat, you don't have any specimen of Stalin's baroque buildings, may be except Treptov park.
