CopenHill deserves a mention, although it would be nice if it were more of a blueprint for industrial architecture going forward, rather than a wonder unique to one progressive European country.

A true wonder!

Any time someone sees it they will wonder "why did someone build that thing?"

[-] Drewelite@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 month ago

I'm sure wondering why they built that.

I wanna work in a fish shaped building lol

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I definitely like the fish way better than that stupid church.

I can't think of a single thing built in the last century that will still be there in a thousand years. We may still build some cool stuff, but none of it is durable anymore it seems.

Hitler's flak towers are not going anywhere. There's other 20th century buildings which can last a thousand years with occasional maintenance, but those flak towers, nothing will take them down.

Most very old buildings that survived to this age, survived because the locals had a use for them and maintained them, or because they had a pyramidical shape. The colloseum was a castle, the parthenon a church, ... Without that usage, we'd only have the foundations and a few basements left.

The whole of Benidorm is a modern Wonder

When you get home you wonder why you went, why you didn't catch any diseases and why you went to so many drag bars

Insert Mr. Crabs "Money" meme here.
