I think art deco is one of my favorites. It still has a clean, modern look that ages surprisingly well, even a century later.

    Frutiger Aero. This is what the future should have looked like. It’s a beautiful balance between nature and technology. I love the glossy, transpartent, rounded nature of it all. The colors are bright and fresh but relaxing at the same time.

    I’m also a big fan of mid century modern. It does a good job at incorporating a natural look. On the outside, the buildings are usually low profile and blend into the landscape well. On the inside, there’s a lot of nice, quality natural materials like wood and stone that are used throughout.

      More Frutiger Aero photos because I can’t stop thinking about how beautiful it is:

      One thing about it is that it ain’t the most homely of aesthetics and architectures. It’s almost always in the context of a workplace, airport, shopping center, etc. In an ideal world I’d live in a mid century modern house and work in a frutiger aero workplace.

      Edit: just found this really cool website https://frutigeraeroarchive.org/

          After looking more closely, some of them do look AI generated. I still think the idea of the images is nice but it is annoying to see how it messes up the details.

      I wonder how bad those big white renders would look IRL after some use and wear. Great opinion, though.

        Yeah, one thing that I’m not a fan of with some of the pictures that I selected is all the white. I like it better when there’s other colors and white is just the accent.

      Frutiger Aero was heavily used in Elite Dangerous for a faction’s ships. I love that look! Didn’t realize it had a name.
