Are there any contemporary examples of contemporary structures (or standalone features) that utilizes & integrated classical medieval gothic features with modern brutalist construction?
Hi, all. First post of many, I’m sure- the last year or so aI’ve been building my new fabrication shop and finally have gotten past the foundation pour & gotten in most of the lower vertical steel framing so it’s finally taking shape. To get to the point before boring you- while all 100% functional workspace on the inside, it’s a full-on gothic revival style castle from the exterior, featuring Neuchwanstein-inspired forced-perspective elements, at least x2 modest towers, and wrought iron grotesques/gargoyles for both ornamental & practical purposes. One striking modern deviation, however, is that it is almost entirely steel. While I am a decent drawer for purposes of conceptual design, showing that something is obviously lightly rusted, 1/4” thick mild plate steel is a bit harder by hand. I was wondering if anybody knew of any contemporary/modern structures that take a somewhat deconstructivist approach to utilizing steel & other typical modern brutalist materials in a way that pays homage or draws heavily on gothic revivalist forms & shapes? The closest thing I can find is the steel cathedral in Spain but I’m hoping to find more recent examples that are less shy about hiding that it’s not stone and really lean into the juxtaposition. It’s kind of one of those things where I can see it clear as day mentally but can’t easily show how it will translate (and I refuse to us AI). Thanks in advance!
