Calling aromanians,greeks, germans and jews gypsies is not nice. Aso, confusing.

Emyhatsich@reddit (OP)

these are not gypsy houses. they were built by romanians (except for the buildings from Oradea/Nagyvarad)

The first building is in Galați and it was built in the early 2010s. Apparently it's a dental clinic.

Absolutely horrendous architecture and uglier than the commie blocks surrounding it.

No it is not when you see it in person

It is like a gypsy castle and the walls look so… out of ramen made.

You’re the type of person that hates tigans so much he will call Gaudi’s houses gypsy palaces

[-]

NatureRiver@reddit

Wait are we bot supposed to hate the cigans?

[-]

plmcoae@reddit

Not to the point they’re in your walls. I for example tolerate most gabor tigans, but they’re an exception

Its absolutely beautiful and very unique

It absolutely isn't. It's kitsch, incomparable to the real art nouveau buildings of Romania.

It is not when you see it in person. While the architecture is interesting, the quality of the walls is kinda meh. Of course, in photos it looks beautiful

Is it “allowed” for art nouveau to look so baroque? I have no idea, educate me

Unrelated to the houses, but I was recently in Romania and, as a BMW fanatic, I felt right at home there — it’s like every other car is a BMW; our Romanian brothers never disappoint.

YEs Brother, in BMW we must and in German we trust.

A taxi driver left me a wonderful quote

"Whatever the germans make,say amen"

I may just be Romanian and not a Benz Albanian

phinkz2@reddit

That gives me Gaudi vibes. Like the houses he designed in Barcelona.

In any case, it's gorgeous :)

[-]

TemperatureXtreme@reddit

Was about to say!
Totally casa batllo vibes.

Jealous-Evening5662@reddit

I remember I thought the same first time I saw buildings like that in Romania. Gorgeous like you said.

[-]

UNIntelligent-Issue2@reddit

No, they are a dentistitry cabinet from Galati, used to live near it.

The 9th is Beaux-Arts architecture apparently, not art nouveau.

[-]

I'm not sure what the first 6 images are but they're absolute crap. Why did you even add them when there's actual real nice art noveau architecture and the ones I personally prefer the Neo-Romanesc architectural style from the early 1900s which also falls under the Art-Nouveau style.
