What architectural style would you like to see come back?

I think art deco is one of my favorites. It still has a clean, modern look that ages surprisingly well, even a century later.

Brick gothic
And brick factories with high arches windows and rounded roofs
Yes.
This is one of my favourite styles!
There was a very prolific architect in Sweden back in 1890-1915, who designed several iconic buildings of Stockholm:

He designed these absolutely gorgeous gasometers:
Just look at the drawings!
Here are drawings of other utility buildings at the same gas works also designed by him:
He also designed the fire station in Gävle, which as far as I can see is still in use:

He designed this water tower in Stockholm:

There are plenty of other architects, but I just love that era of Ferdinand's work...
