Just got back from London last month 🗺️ and I'm still buzzing about all the sick new architecture projects popping up! I mean, have you seen the V&A East Museum? It's gonna be HUGE 💥. I heard it's designed by those genius architects O'Donnell + Tuomey... can't wait to check it out.

And of course, who wouldn't want to visit a gallery in LA?! 🤩 Peter Zumthor is known for his stunning designs, so I'm sure the David Geffen Galleries are gonna be on point. But what's really got me excited is Skate Space 50 in London... it's like a playground for skaters! 😎 Can't wait to grab my board and hit the pavement.

And have you ever been to Barcelona? 🤗 The Sagrada Família is like, one of the most iconic buildings in the world... can't believe it's finally opening its doors after all these years. And Google HQ in London? Not bad for a company that's always pushing the boundaries of innovation, right? 💻
 
Just had to check out what's new in the world of architecture 🤔... I mean, who wouldn't want to see a V&A East Museum in London? Can't wait to see how O'Donnell + Tuomey bring their unique style to the city. The LA County Museum of Art is always on point with their exhibitions and it's no surprise that Peter Zumthor is behind this one... his designs are just so sleek and modern 📚

Skate Space 50 at the Southbank Centre sounds like a sick spot for some urban vibes 💥. And have you heard about the reopening of Antoni Gaudí's Basilica de la Sagrada Família in Barcelona? The hype is real! I've always been fascinated by his work and to see it up close would be an experience of a lifetime.

Lastly, Google HQ in London... can't wait for that one to open its doors 📈. Bjarke Ingels Group and Heatherwick Studio are like the dream team for architecture enthusiasts 😎
 
🤗 I'm feeling a bit excited thinking about all these amazing architecture exhibitions coming up! It's like, have you ever walked into one of those museums or galleries and just felt this overwhelming sense of wonder? 🌈 Like, your mind is blown by the sheer scale and beauty of it all? That's what I'm expecting from these openings. O'Donnell + Tuomey at V&A East Museum sounds incredible - I've heard their designs are so thoughtful and human-centered. And then there's Peter Zumthor's David Geffen Galleries... he's like the master of minimalist cool, you know? 🙌 Skate Space 50 in London is also really fascinating to me - it's like a playground for adults! 😂 But what I'm most looking forward to is Basilica de la Sagrada Família in Barcelona... there's just something so magical about Antoni Gaudí's work. Can't wait to see them all up close and personal! 🚀
 
man, architectural exhibitions are like time capsules, you know? they let us experience the past and see how far we've come with design and innovation. but at the same time, it's hard not to feel a little nostalgic when you're looking at old buildings that were meant for new eras.

i mean, take the v&a east museum in london - it's like they took all the best bits of the original v&a and mashed them together with some modern flair. and peter zumthor's david geffen galleries are gonna be straight fire, no doubt about it. skate space 50 on southbank centre is also gonna be lit, i love that they're pushing the boundaries of what a gallery can be.

but what really gets me is basilica de la sagrada família in barcelona - it's like antoni gaudí took all his crazy dreams and poured them into this one building. and google's london headquarters? wow, bjarke ingels group and heatherwick studio are killing the game over there
 
omg have you seen those architectural designs for museums 🤯 they're so cool! like what's with the V&A East Museum, it looks like a giant bookshelf 📚 i'm literally imagining all the exhibits and how they'll display them on these huge walls... and then there's that skate space in london, can you imagine going to an art exhibition and it's basically just a big skate park? 😂 idk about the basilica de la sagrada família though, isn't that one like super famous already? 🤷‍♀️ anyway, google's new headquarters is supposed to be lit 🔥 i've heard it's gonna have all these crazy green roofs and whatnot... can't wait to see pics when it opens!
 
I'm low-key excited to see what all the fuss is about with these new exhibits... I mean, who needs personal space when you can have a bunch of architects trying to make their buildings Instagram-worthy, right? 📸🏢 Anyway, it's nice that V&A East Museum and the David Geffen Galleries are finally getting some love. London always had some amazing architecture, but now we get to see more. And can't wait for Skate Space 50 to open... I've been dying to try out all the trendy coffee shops in Southbank Centre 🤣. Also, isn't it cool that Google's new HQ is finally going to be done? Like, who wouldn't want to work at a building designed by two of the most famous architects of our time? August can't come soon enough... 🕰️👀
 
skipped the usual hype around all these new museums and galleries... just another bunch of fancy buildings to spend money on 🤑 i mean, don't get me wrong, they're gonna look sick and all that but what's the point? we already have like 10 museums in london alone and most of us can barely remember which one is which 🤣

i do love peter zumthor's work tho, his designs are always so... calming i guess. but hey, it's not like these new buildings are gonna change our lives or anything. just another way for architects to show off their skills and make a bunch of rich people happy 💸 also, what's up with the google headquarters? like, isn't that already one of the coolest offices in the world? 🤔
 
Ugh, architecture lovers rejoice 🤦‍♀️ I guess it's good to know what's coming up, but all this is just a reminder that time is flying by and we're getting older 💨. Like, have you seen the list of architects behind these buildings? O'Donnell + Tuomey, Peter Zumthor... they're all like, super successful 😅. And don't even get me started on Bjarke Ingels Group and Heatherwick Studio 🤯. They must be making a killing off these projects 💸. Meanwhile, the general public is just stuck with rising rents and stagnant wages 🏠💰. At least we'll have some nice new buildings to look at in the meantime 🗼️. Oh well, I guess it's something to do while waiting for the apocalypse 🤖.
 
just saw this and thought it's wild how all these cool buildings are coming out soon... like V&A East Museum is almost here already 🕰️, can't wait to check it out. also, skate space 50 on southbank centre sounds like a sick spot for skaters 👟. but what I'm really excited about is the google headquarters in london, that's going to be massive 💼 and i've heard great things about bjarke ingels group's work. and of course who doesn't love antoni gaudí's basilica de la sagrada família? 🤯 have been meaning to visit that place for ages...
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this new architectural stuff 🤯. I mean, have you seen those old videos from 2019 of David Beckham walking through the V&A East Museum when it was still a construction site? It's crazy how far they've come now! The O'Donnell + Tuomey building is supposed to open in April, but honestly, I'm more excited about the new Skate Space 50 on the Southbank Centre. I remember reading about it online back in 2017 and thinking it was gonna be a cool addition to the London arts scene 🤔.

And then there's that Basilica de la Sagrada Família project... Antoni Gaudí, the original genius, is finally getting his due recognition 🙌. It's amazing how some of these old designs are still inspiring new architects today. I wonder if they'll ever open those David Geffen Galleries in LA like it was supposed to back in 2020? Only time will tell!
 
I don’t usually comment but I think it’s kinda cool how architecture is becoming more interactive now 🤔. Like, have you seen those skate parks they're opening up at Southbank Centre? Skate Space 50 sounds like a sick spot to hang out and explore some dope designs 🏈🌆. And the Google HQ in London is gonna be lit with Bjarke Ingels Group and Heatherwick Studio on board - love how design can blend with functionality 👍.

And I gotta say, it's a bit surreal seeing famous buildings like V&A East Museum and Basilica de la Sagrada Família getting some major updates 🌈. O'Donnell + Tuomey and Peter Zumthor are no joke when it comes to creating iconic spaces that bring people together. It'll be rad to check out these new attractions once they're open!
 
I'm so sick of all these architects just getting a free pass 🙄, but I guess they're gonna need it when their designs are finally open to the public! Like, V&A East Museum is already old news, it's been in development for ages and now everyone's gonna go "oh look at that fancy museum". And don't even get me started on Basilica de la Sagrada Família, I mean come on, it's like they're trying to recreate Gaudí's legacy or something 🤷‍♀️. What's up with Peter Zumthor and his super minimalist approach? Can't he at least throw in some flair? And have you seen the pics of Skate Space 50? It looks so... basic 😴. Anyway, I'm sure it'll be lit for all you architecture enthusiasts out there 👀.
