I think art deco is one of my favorites. It still has a clean, modern look that ages surprisingly well, even a century later.
Neofuturism.
Googie. The Seattle Space Needle is a design of this style.
I always called this “The Jetsons style,” I had no idea there was an actual name for it.
I’m a deco man myself. The world should look like the futuristic vision of 1920s and 30s sci fi movies.

Tudor-style wattle and daub, timber framed houses with thatched roofs.
It’s relatively environmentally friendly and sequesters a lot of carbon, and is well insulated. Willow coppices can be grown just about anywhere too.
Roman revival… most anything with arches, pillars, ashlar, obvious lentils, a strong sturdy feel.
But also high tech / structural expressionism.

Ecclesiastical Art Deco. There are surprisingly few examples of this. Boston Avenue Methodist Church in Tulsa is probably the best one.
That’s where I had my senior <whatever non-denominational church thing right before you graduate> ! Stunning, inside and out. Much pink!
Google says: Baccalaureate service. ? Sure doesn’t sound right to me.

Any. Very few modern buildings can be said to have any style at all. They are just functional blocks.
Brutalism always fascinated me, i tried to model some building in 3d modeling tools in this style, churches public squares you name it. These huge, empty and vast monuments to the industrial nature of a building are like monolyths in a city. They claim their existance and you can’t ignore them.
I am 100% with you on Brutalism. It is often vilified but I think it’s beautiful.

Art deco for sure, possibly turn-of-the-century industrial as well.
Seriously look at this steam engine. It looks like it belongs in a massive cathedral or something.
And the Art Deco crowd wins the poll!
Had cousins whose entire home, bar the sun room, was Art Deco. Not just the furniture and paintings, even the magazines and lighters and ash trays. Quite a collection!
I enjoy the Art Deco look. Sleek yet confident.
Whatever architectural style the Weekend at Bernie’s is:
Looks like brutalism to me. Not sure if there might be some more specific subcategory I’m not familiar with, but generally anything using big geometric slabs of concrete is brutalist.
Googie. It harkens to the hopeful celebration of the future during the Space Age.
I admit it’s not my favorite, but I do still love that it’s actually distinctive and has a specific “vibe”. You look at it and you know exactly when it’s from and what it’s about.
I can’t think of any ‘style’ in the last 20 years that has that.
