Artistic expressions, cultural symbols, efficient solutions, traditional visions. Architecture has given us all this and more. It is a constant learning process that presents new challenges and stimulates our creativity as builders. But beyond its natural wealth, there are many people out there who insist on categorizing architecture in terms of “pretty” or “ugly”. A classic case is Belgian architecture. Most people believe that houses in that country are ugly, and a blogger named Hannes Coudenys decided to document them. What do you think?
Of course, this curious situation leads us to an endless debate. In the past we have heard very negative expressions about brutalism, but our readers did not hesitate to express their admiration for those concrete titans, in specific regions and around the world. So, who can prevent the celebration of the so-called “ugliness” in Belgian architecture? The answer is nobody.
In fact, blogger Hannes Coudenys has done an excellent job through his official Instagram profile, and even published a book completely dedicated to these curious Belgian houses. Strange angles, excess and absence of windows, irregular roofs, “half houses”, clashes of styles, and openings that form faces are part of the list. Are these design crazes not enough for you? Don't worry, we also have Japanese bathrooms for you.
