Man this is one of my favorite series on RUclips. Hope this doesn't end soon.
Well, there’s only two decades left. Let’s hope they bring more episodes
Like he can go in to the future.❤
@@hampter8312 Im pretty sure Akruas plans to continue into future decades
1994 is 30 years ago, and probably a few more by the time he gets to the 2020s.....so the series will be fine for a while.
DONT JINX IT
Best sentence this time: "Propably a place used by the 90's business men and politicians doing 90's stuff".
Really cool episode, enjoyed it very much.
i really feel as on a lecture... with the amount of pictures it reminds me of a powerpoint presentation :D
You posted the comment 4 minutes after the video came live, and there are no pictures in the first 4 minutes of the video .... very sus, perhaps a continued stay in the dungeons is needed again
@@Akruas i had some intel from the streams... :P *PS i can look what will come when i hover on the timeline...
@@indigo_carmine witchcraft!
@@Akruas should i be burned for that?
@@indigo_carmine Guy with time machine...
Maybe i'm a sick freak but 90s European post-modernism contains some of my favorite architecture
Same!
i would not call it favourite, but it for sure has a werid charm
Lets go Jeremy is here too
Wow, you are a sick freak.
howdy jeremy thunder from the youtube channel jeremy thunder
'Luv me Altengrad, 'luv me Akruas, 'luv me postmodern architecture. Simple as.
Bosh
I really hope that the huge empty spaces left on the outskirts of the city mean we will still get a lot of episodes. I really enjoy the architecture lectures, but i hope we will get a few more special buildings in the future too. The city is kinda lacking recreational buildings and media.
For example, i think you could add:
- Radio and TV Station
- Swimming pools
- concert hall
- cinemas
- theatre
- ice hockey arena
- new football stadium
- festive plaza for fairs and such
I know we now enter the right times for that, so please consider a few. It would make the city much more lively
The road layout indicates that we are in for a lot of projects to fill up the gaps
After using the M1 metro line in Warsaw between Politechnika and Świętokrzyska stations multiple times a day throughout last week I'm getting flashbacks every time I see pink structural elements...
I kinda accept every architectural style as long as it respects its surroundings and doesn't scream for attention (only exception is when the purpose of the building is to be visible and stand out). That is maybe because I like looking at cities as a whole and appreciating a place's urbanism rather than looking at individual buildings. Therefore even though postmodernism isn't really my favorite style I can still appreciate buildings like Tančící dům or the University of Warsaw library you showed. They can be crazy and unique but at the same time respect their surroundings and fit into the existing urban fabric.
This is genuinely such an amazing series. As someone from Poland, a lot of this architecture feels very familiar, but i still learn so much from your videos. I now actually understand what post modernism is, so thats another architectural style i can start calling out when i see it :)
12:20 I'm so proud that you featured the University Library, one of my very favourite buildings in Warsaw! I highly recommend touring the roof gardes to anyone visiting the city.
24:43 I'm not the greatest fan of the style but the Lehel Market looked so interesting! I think maybe the mistake of other architects of postmodernism was chickening/cheapening out on such outlandish and fresh details and the many, many crazy decorations. The "normal" kitsch for me just projects creative bankruptcy while this example is the exact opposite. It has as many thought out details as a gothic cathedral. It definitely suits it's use - a true temple of consumptionism. It's honestly how I would imagine the Wonka factory to look like :D
19:42 The Church of Holy Spirit in Paks was also similarly striking. I don't think I ever saw anything like it. It's so beautiful and alien despite being made of a really down-to-earth material.
For the greater part of featured examples, the less said, the better, I think - as you put it in 12:08.
As you can tell, I'm super pumped for the slideshow lecture format. I think you are a very knowledgable person and you have a lot to share with your audience. I learned a lot because of this series and it changed the perspective with which I perceive buildings and cities I visit. So, thanks for your work!
Oh, what a relief! Akruas lives! I am always counting down the days until the next Altengrad video. I really appreciate what you are doing. I love building and creating different kinds of projects like cities, houses, zoos, and amusement parks. I particularly enjoy that you add an educational aspect to your videos.
I live in the Czech Republic, and I am glad that, thanks to you, I can learn something about the history of urbanism and architecture in my country's history. I really appreciate it. Please continue with what you are doing. It is truly fun, interesting, and educational content.
Another class on architecture.
25:00 This market made me dizzy with so many colors and shapes
I have been following this series for so damn long, every single upload brightens my day.
Fantastic episode, I really appreciated the breakdown of the architecture. Can't wait to see how this escalates and grows in the 2000's
Keep the great videos coming 👍
This series has come a very long way: the quality of content and information just gets better and better by the episodes. Thank you for sharing so much knowledge while building something beautiful!
The best CS city builder. Always a clear plan and thought, with lots of references and educational facts.
I always look forward to the new episode of this series, especially as a fellow Czech, its very interesting to see and hear how our country developed. Plus the occasional appearance of a building or a project I know personally always makes me happy.
Best of luck in the future episodes. I already cant wait :D
The 90s were a great time for architecture. Disney-like styles, columns, the rise of the ‘Starchitechts’. Gehry, Michael Graves, Meier. The time of Venturi’s book “Learning from Las Vegas’. Every city in Europe and the US started putting it in their city centers. I love how you build and teach and you do it in a nice, fast flow and undersrandable way. You’re good!
Finally the plot in front of the church is filled up! Super cool editing of the building to make it organic. Very nice.
WAKEY WAKEY ITS TIME FOR ANOTHER VIDEO OF ALTENGRAD!
I really do enjoy hearing you talk about architecture whilst making custom buildings.
(same goes for everything you talk about in your videos, it's fascinating)
You never cease to amaze me with your creativity and knowledge. This is my absolute favourite series on RUclips. And now as we are in the 90s, there's an added value of nostalgia, as this is my childhood decade.
I realy like this series it is very well thought out
Tears of joy may fall on one's face when seeing a new Akruas/Altengrad idea
The Bank building in Ústí nad Labem is designed by architect Michal Gabriel and i have talked with him about it in his office few months ago. He is a funny guy. Also i think that this bank building is the best and most joyful posmodern 90s architcture piece in Czechia.
praying for Althaus technoclub in an abandoned warehouse🫡
The place to be for the Y2K "NewGrad" New Years' fest at Alt-Haus techno club! Would make for a fun episode to close out the 90's.
Altengrad also needs a new football stadium and a huge convention centre to host the annual Alten-song contest. The qualifier for Eurovision.
Ahh yes, Solpol. There was a wild debate about preserving "historical" architecture when they decided to demolish it. One good thing about this place is that there is very good kebab shop on the opposite side. Polecam :)
Love this series and is great because I get to visit Prague again soon and I can’t wait to have all of the perspective you have provided on the history of that region!
I was so waiting for this episode. Tackling all those more or less controversial projects was so good to listen and watch.
I really like it when you say the names of the towns. There's no way I would be able to attempt to pronounce them but now I can!
I know it's still early in the 90's for Altengrad, but one thing I would like to see in this decade is the crumbling of the social welfare programs and public works. Like old hospitals rotting away and tramlines becoming rolling museums or being ripped out to make way for more urban freeways would be interesting. Love the series and can't wait to see where you'll go with it!
Where were tram tracks removed for urban freeways in the 90s?
@@Akruas The main example I was thinking of was in Moscow, being the line on Mira Avenue which was closed to make way for the 3rd ring row in Moscow in 1995. This was part of a wave of line closures in the 90's mainly along major motor ways. Funnily though I was mistaken and thought this happened in Budapest (I don't know why, I guess I just got my wires crossed) but because of that I looked into the history of trams in Budapest. Where starting in the late 60's tram-lines where being closed most of which where dead-end lines but other closures left certain lines unconnected, and some of the trams were replaced with trolly busses. By 1982 Budapest had closed around 20% of its lines and a further 6 lines were closed from 94 to 97. However new lines were also opened during this time and most of these closures where part of a reorganization and consolidation campaign of the tram lines. But one neat example I found was the Keleti pályaudvar to Kápolna tér line that closed in 94 where at Kápolna tér you can see the remnants of the tram station on google street view and you can also see where the rest of the tracks were and that they're now parking spots in the middle of the road. The example in Budapest is nowhere near an urban freeway, it's just a 2-lane road with a wide median now but I personally like little things like that where it's obvious the space had a different use.
@@farter-hall9681 Yes, I talked about these closures before in #80
@@Akruas Ah I didn't catch that video, so I didn't know you mentioned those closures. Love the series and can't wait for 95 and your next city!
12:51 as someone who quite regularly goes to the library there I just wanna say, stuff changed a lot in the neighborhood of it in the last what 10 years since the google maps satelites images were made of this place
Feels so great seeing Lehel piac mentioned in this episode! I can see that building daily from my balcony and i love shopping there!
Also I've studied at ELTE and those two campuses were my buildings :D
WOW man! You have a talent to make complicated buildings in this game with PO! Love your CS1 Series! :)
When ypu finish this series please continue with some video essays about urbanism and architecture and great episode as always!
This whole series lives up to the quality of a university lecture and course; it's as if I will to have to take an exam after the end, it's fantastic
this series aways makes my day better
Interesting thing from Supreme Court of Poland building and just a cherry on the top of its storytelling - that picture from 15:45 was taken at its back-entrance, away from streets, behind underground garage ramp - basically the most utilitarian, technical side of the building. And that one entrance gets this - chaotic, deconstructivist space with randomly wandering caryatides of Themis and absolutely silly skybridge. A complete subversion of the seriousness of the front facade.
So as a pedestrian you approach this massive, pompous front, communicating the authority and justice of the law. But then, if you get into that one side where there's "nothing to see", a backside where stitches are showing. you find absolutely jumbled mess. It's almost a joke - like behind all that seriousness, law is without much coherence or direction, a tower of duct tape, barely performing its function.
90s post-modern architecture that you've presented is mostly horrible but there are gems, like the library or the court house in Poland, or the hungarian wood churches
My college had Walter A. Netsch Jr design 3 buildings on campus; the art building, music and library. They were only made out of 45 or 90 degree triangles. No other shapes, no square rooms. Multitiered because of how hilly my campus was but the library was a literal labyrinth. 😅
It's Wells College if you're curious, the Long Library, they have 3D tours. Sadly my school closed just recently.
I absolutely love this series, it taught me so much about architecture and just the world around me. Now walking around Wrocław I can at least know what I'm looking at. Btw, for 2000's era buildings you could look at the Wrocław University's main library. It's always been a weird building for me, some sort of a mix of brutalism and postmodernism as I've read in some article. It's certainly monumental, inside and out, especially with a "corridor" leading between two sections.
Let's goooo!
This "1990's" in the thumbnail somehow reminds me of Friends lol
Sir. You are a talented artist and one of the most unique additions to the CS community ❤
Great Video! 😀👍 Had to laugh, when you mentioned that you built an archive. I had the thought, when i saw your thumbnail "Oh he built an archive there"... I litte sad though you didn't mention Aldo Rossi as one of the "leaders" of Postmodernismm but as long as i know, he didn't do any projects in the former east so... 💁♂
Greetings from an Architect and Cityplaner.
Your videos are amazing! I love how you build but also teach the audience something about history
I can’t wait for it to get up to modern day!
Loved the video! This style was also applied in some places in southern Europe, although we aren't eastern block we have some buildings and neighborhoods inspired by buildings in the eastern block, here in Portugal they were built especially during the New State dictatorship, where the main idea was Family God (catholicism) and Work. Some neighborhoods are even "repeated" around the cities, for example Encarnação and Beato, in Lisboa. We have a metro station I think @Akruas would like to check out, its the Olaias metro station, maybe even take a look at the neighborhoods of Chelas, Bela Vista and Olaias, all in Lisboa, they were all refurbished for the world expo in 98, to make the city more presentable
That's an interesting metro station indeed.
@@Akruas Its on the subway line I take the most, the head turns are great
thank you once again for the architectural tour :)
always informative and interesting
Another great episode that was really informative and love what you're doing in cities skylines as well.
akruas is my summer school that i did not sign up for but i love
i love these buildings irl, they're so awful that you kinda love them
Postmodernism can be a mixed bag. Some of it just looks insane (that Lehel market-“What Lehel is that thing!?”). On the other hand, I find that library in Warsaw to be beautiful. Maybe it’s all the plants. Cover just about anything in enough plants and it starts to look good. The green facade goes well with the green plants, but does have enough of a stately, classical appearance to befit a storehouse of knowledge like a library.
30:29 as an architect im tottaly alligned with your thoughts on the strenghts and weakness of post-modernism, deconstructivism an that trend that we call "faux-vieux" in french "fake old" wich is very common and of poor design from the 90's onward, always top quality content thanks brother !
Awesome video, great Infos and builds🎉
Radio tower on one the mountains in the background!
gosh... you need an emmy for these series man❤️
By the time you need new low-floor trams to replace the old 2-wheelers.
Would be a cool gimmick if your Tatra trams become colourfull and
wrapped by advertisements due to the 90s capitalism 😉
It's great that someone is building a realistic city in Cities Skylines.😉The Silesian Library in Katowice is also a very good example of postmodernism. I recommend watching it 😀
this decade has LEGS. i hope there is several episodes of these weird creations
Hey architecture student from Poland: you choose really good examples from Poland
Idk if it is 90s or early 00s but Hotel Galeria in Bratislava deserves to be on the list. 😎
It is intresting , especially for prestige stuff aswell as creating a better connection between the person and features of the building than a giant block, but some things are just easier and cheaper to maintain
I love this series!
Another Altengrad, another good day
Last time you posted in this series was like 3 years ago I really like that you are using architecture and a theme that most other would not use
I'm posting in this series every two weeks
love your content bro
great video as always, also: drink a shot every time Akuras says "post-modern" lol
I really enjoyed this episode! As a true classical architecture lover, perhaps I like postmodernism a little more than I'd like to admit :) (except deconstructivism, I still hate it)
Idk, some of these building look horrible to me, while others are beautiful. I really like the ones with the nature part. The churches look amazing.
I kinda thought the new building with the lake could be a retirement home of a Comfort Care Home for terminally ill, since it's so close to the hospital
12:21 get into the library Shinji!
Palms in central Europe?
Surprisingly, its actually, possible, I have seen recently some windmill palms in the gardens in southern Moravia and western Slovakia, it would be possible to plant them with only small protection during the strongest winter in the mildest places.
But those are definitely not the tropical ones as those in front of the hotel :-)
:-)
Bro putting in some serious research. At this rate said bro might become an architect some day
He's an engineer already
I don't know if Akruas ever mentions it in the vid cause I'm writing this before finishing it, but my favorite semi-facetious name for 90s-early 2000s East European postmodernism is caprom (capitalist romanticism)
caprom is ex-USSR, not really done further west
@@Akruas eh, because it was coined by Russian urbanists in the 2010s, not because of the fundamental differences. It's still a very naive and romantic fascination with freedom of expression, almost childish use of colors and forms, ridiculous mix of traditional elements with modern materials. It took more drastic shapes in post-USSR due to corruption, rapid accumulation of obscene wealth and ability to disregard building codes or opinions of locals altogether, but East European postmodernism and postsoviet caprom are two sides of one coin
If only all postmodernism could be as good as those churches.
“I came to see gameplay, not a documentary about Poland’s buildings. Come on, play more!” 🎮🏢
nice episode as always
one of the cities of all time
IDK about the rest of the bloc, but in Poland a lot of "unprofitable" train lines were cut, leaving the towns to use the bus. Even I experienced this - the rail connection to my city was restored only a year ago.
Watching your videos is always an unique experience! Love the effort you put into editing and research! The build ist great too although for my taste, the national archive looking building would look much more 90s without this patterned concrete facade, as it strongly reminds me of some communist or modernist era style.
You should do a video based on the rise of corruption and crime in the 90s.
Nice. Keep it up please❤
God i need to visit this places irl ❤
Will there be eventually a download for the map including a list of mods and assets?
There is one from the 1930s you can use it to build your own Altengrad (which I’m doing atm).
Bro can you make a airport
Could u also talk about Rotterdam? because that city has a lot of post modernism buildings.
Interesting video, however you should do something that actually happened in these countries, for example Poland or Eastern Germany (Especially Dresden)
And that is rebuilding older buildings
I mean most of the historical Dresden is rebuilt, same with Warsaw
Also I love your series, it is absolutely realistic and beautiful
Two cities are not the whole region.
@@Akruasofc not but they are in the same region and it happened in more cities too
Just these are the main examples as they were rebuilt a lot in this period and much more than other
Happened in Berlin and Budapest for sure too and other cities
Now that would be just in the pre war area for some buildings, or other important historic buildings, not all of it or new districts
would love to see a pack of Portuguese traditional architecture, and paviment.
Mate, this is set in Central Europe. Portuguese buildings wouldn‘t make any sense here at all
@@bahnspotterEU mate, im not refering to THIS set, im refering a new one in the future, so your reply dont make sense at all to what I said.
Yeah? Well no one cares about Portugal 😡 (jk) @@Luzitanium
@@pokemilfhunter622the ignorant ones dont, like you.
Nice job
Postmodernism for me is cringe, Maybe because I grew up in the early '90s in the docks of London as it was completely regenerated with this style, but I think it all looks so cheap and tacky. And they have not aged well. But saying that I still really enjoyed this video, as always another masterpiece and very informative. Thank you 🙂
"...probably used by '90s businessmen and politicians doing '90s stuff." Such as NOT having sexual relations with their secretaries.
Thank you for showing us such brilliant po-mo from your end of the planet. I find most of it in Canada is extremely boring, and really only stands out as something interesting when it's beside a boring modernist box. I wish Canada had gone more with the bonkers, childish, colourful, playful end of the movement. So much steel and grey stone really wears you down during an 8-month winter.
In Russia that kind of architecture is called “Luzhkovsky style”, named after a Moscow mayor Luzhkov who really liked that thing. Now Luzhkovsky style is a synonym of dull taste in architecture. Take a look at Nautilus mall in Moscow, this is truly terrible
Yep, and also "Caprom"
11:59 Dear god, i thought I've seen ugly...
Building a city archive by the river doesn't sound like a bright idea (looks at one of the next episodes with the flooding)
God I hate 90’s architecture. Great episode! Haha
Kinda hardest episode to watch for me so far.. loaded to the brim with the kind of architecture I've always disliked the most.
Even if functionally it had some advantages its enormously negative visual impact to every Polish city today cannot be ignored.
would love to know what that building at 10:20 is called and if its available in the workshop :)

oufff, scathing. but yeah, a lot of people needlessly do the "old man yelling at cloud" when it comes to architecture, a few youtubers i otherwise like come to mind.
i think its sad people just write off entire styles and periods as "concrete bad" when there is so much depth and history to be uncovered.
16:23 is just a frog that's celebrating something
