Sometimes you see weird buildings, buildings you just have to photograph.

You wanna see some whacked out architecture, go to Beer-Sheva, the Ben-Gurion University dorms at miyonot gimel.

But then again, just about everything at Beer-Sheva is wierd.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

I'm a fourth year architect at university, so I've got some good photos :D. Here's a fairly random selection of photos I took when I was in Berlin and Amsterdam.

These ones are from Berlin, I was sending them to a friend so they're already named:

Onto Amsterdam/Rotterdam

These houses feature in a Jackie Chan film, "Who am I?" IIRC.

These are of some incredible council housing in Amsterdam. The blocks cantilever straight out, and feature on both sides.

I got plenty more if you like. I would have posted some from Barcelona, but I can't find em.

Most of those buildings are such a fucking eyesore. I hate that randomly bizarre architecture.
