They don’t build ’em like they used to! Architecture is a fascinating topic because it’s not just theoretical—it’s all around us and impacts us every single day. Depending on whom you ask, you might get the feeling that buildings used to be constructed with much more creativity, flair, and grace in the past.
One subreddit, which unites millions of architecture fans from all corners of the internet, shares photos of the most impressive buildings from all around the world. Today, we’re featuring some of their newest finds. Scroll down for a huge dose of artistic inspiration. Don’t blame us if you suddenly feel the calling to become an architect and/or start hating modern designs!

Trinity College Library, Ireland
Jeolas1 1 year ago
I visited this summer. Most of the books have long been removed, the shelves are empty apart from the first couple or so. But they had a huge planet earth installed, hovering high above people's heads, rotating slowly, glowing in the semi-dark. Very atmospheric art installation; meaningful, strangely touching and also saddening! https://www.visittrinity.ie/book-of-kells/gaia/

It’ll come as no surprise that our environments shape and affect us. Not just physically but mentally and emotionally, too. Overstimulation can be exhausting. Meanwhile, gray, drab, boring, purely functionalist surroundings can be extremely demotivating. On the flip side, we can feel inspired by truly aesthetic works of art, nature, user-friendly urban design decisions, and architects who see the need for balance between beauty and function, not just the latter. How you build and design cities matters.
According to the American Psychiatric Association, over half of the world’s population lives in cities, and this number will only increase in the future. “Living in urban areas has been associated with increased risk for mental disorders, including anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia. Research using functional magnetic resonance imaging has identified changes in the brain indicating that urban upbringing and city living are linked to social stress processing.”

While I always admire Beauty, whenever I see a truly opulent building anywhere in the world, it always reminds me of the unequal distribution of wealth. How many people who were living in poverty might have had better lives if the money had been directed toward them?
Cee Grant 1 year ago
A lot of these seem to be listed here not because of architecture but because of design details, with emphasis on quantity and complexity of the details. I'd call it "decoration" and definitely not "architecture." p.s. I prefer decoration over architecture most of the time.
The APA states that city living is linked to worse air pollution, increased noise, crime, social inequality, stress from sensory overload, and a lack of open space. On the flip side, cities can also provide various career opportunities, better education, proper healthcare, and social interaction.
In the meantime, one study noted that urbanization brings with it social, economic, and psychological changes. Urbanization affects mental health via increased stressors from polluted and overcrowded environments, less social support, and higher levels of violence.

Hallway To Mysore Palace, India
Kamal Hasan 1 year ago
The hallway to Mysore Palace in India is a magnificent journey through time and opulence! It’s like stepping into a grand tapestry of vibrant colors and intricate details, where every inch of the corridor tells a story of royal splendor. The gleaming marble floors, the stunning frescoes, and the majestic arches combine to create a pathway that is as much an artistic masterpiece as it is a historical wonder. Walking through this hallway feels like being part of a regal procession, with the echoes of the past whispering tales of grandeur and elegance at every turn. Truly, it's a dazzling spectacle that leaves one in awe of its sheer beauty and the rich legacy it represents.

The Courtyard Of A Traditional Mansion In Shiraz, Iran
Kamal Hasan 1 year ago
The courtyard of this traditional mansion in Shiraz, Iran, is nothing short of mesmerizing. It’s a symphony of colors and patterns that effortlessly melds with nature. The intricate mosaic tiles, each painstakingly placed, reflect the rich history and unparalleled craftsmanship of Persian architecture. The tranquil fountain at the center adds a soothing ambiance, inviting you to sit, reflect, and soak in the timeless beauty of this enchanting space. The surrounding lush greenery creates a serene oasis, making it a perfect retreat from the bustling world outside. This courtyard is a true testament to the elegance and cultural heritage of Shiraz.

Shame it's in such a s****y country. I'll qualify that for the simplistic idiot who called me a bigot. There are multiple photos from Iran in this article, which I find slightly strange. I have no doubt there are many decent right minded people who long for regime change, but until that is achieved, it is a terrorist state run by religious fanatics with nuclear ambitions, and needs to be stomped down hard before they release hell on the world. All of their friends are enemies of the western world and James Bondian states. So, yes, lovely architecture, but it's never going to be on my tourism list until they sort their problems out.

This Gothic-Art Deco building is amazing. The pinnacles at the top look straight out of Oz. I'm into architecture, this building is covered very well in Wikipedia: The American Radiator Building (also known as the American Standard Building) is an early skyscraper at 40 West 40th Street, just south of Bryant Park, in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. It was designed by Raymond Hood and André Fouilhoux in the Gothic and Art Deco styles for the American Radiator Company. The original section of the American Radiator Building, a 338 ft-tall (103 m), 23-story tower, was completed in 1924. A five-story annex, to the west of the original tower, was built from 1936 to 1937.

The Rocchetta Mattei Castle near Bologna, Italy, is like stepping into a whimsical fairy tale brought to life! This architectural marvel is a delightful fusion of various styles, creating a unique and enchanting atmosphere. The castle's eclectic design, with its blend of Gothic, Moorish, and Medieval influences, makes it a true feast for the eyes. Each tower, arch, and mosaic tells a story of creativity and imagination. As you explore its winding passages and hidden courtyards, you're transported to a world of fantasy and wonder. It's not just a castle; it's a magical journey through the mind of a visionary. Absolutely mesmerizing!

These vertical axis windmills were built to grind grain.

Most of the timbers are medieval and the clay structures are older, if I remember correctly. There's a good Still Standing video on YouTube about them.

I like the look, but I wonder whether those materials will tarnish badly. TOO shiny. Also, I doubt the rooms are that efficient - wedge-shaped doesn't work well with most human needs (let alone furniture).

It was also used (and designed for) use as an air-raid protective shelter, so bunker seems appropriate.

Agreed, but, the old beautiful buildings were often built with the wealth of Empire. Or the rich building houses on ther backs of the poor. The cost of such detailed and time consuming work in modern times with more equitable wages is often prohibitive. Which is a shame, but also a good thing.

Islamic art and architecture is some amazing stuff. As an American, it is truly sad that we are unable to truly appreciate such things because it is "different" from the Judeo-Christian-Conservative "normal" that runs this country.

I'm glad to see someone has some taste. The first one was cool, but they all basically look the same and they're horribly unfunctional in real life.
