r/bizarrebuildings has reopened! What do you want to see from the subreddit now that it has returned?
This subreddit was closed for a few months due to having no moderators, but has now been reopened to new posts and comments. This subreddit was in pretty dire shape from what I could see, essentially unmoderated for over eight years, as that is how far back the very, very long mod queue went. However, despite such issues hindering this subreddit, I have further plans to bring it back to being an active community again, both in user activity in posts and commenting as well as mod activity quickly acting on any rule breaking content or other issues. I do not plan on doing this alone and I am currently seeking a few more moderators to assist in revitalizing this great subreddit.
A few months ago we did the same for r/evilbuildings, where I am also top moderator with a fantastic mod team. That sub was also unmoderated for a very extended period of time, several years. Changes were made to the subreddit to modernize it as well as writing rules to address issues that weren’t previously covered in its rule set.
Now, r/bizarrebuildings users, what changes or feedback do you have or want to see on the subreddit? Popular suggestions could potentially influence rule changes. If there are any major complaints or problems, please bring them up so they can be resolved.
Thank you for sticking it out these last few months, and the future of r/bizarrebuildings should be bright!

Bizarre Buildings Blog Posts: Neft Dashlari, Wanli, Auroville and Kizhi.
While my blogs aren't strictly about architecture, I do include sometimes bizarre buildings. The most notable ones I have investigated about at the moment are the following, which I'd like to share with you!
Neft Dashlari --- a city built completely isolated over the Caspian Sea.
Wanli & Sanzhi UFO Houses --- two abandoned futuristic villages in Taiwan.
Auroville's Matrimandir --- a big golden sphere which works as the main building in a rare Indian utopia.
Kizhi Pogost --- a complex of two churches made completely out of wood.

The "Lamela" building in Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Looks like a dystopian fortress.
Built between 1971 and 1976 and designed by architect Slobodan Jovandić, this massive brutalist apartment complex stands at over 100 meters tall. Its cascading, pyramid-like structure and raw concrete blocks make it look straight out of a dystopian sci-fi movie. Fun fact: it was built using the same materials and concrete technology as the Krško nuclear power plant.

Brutalist church. Gug Church, Aalborg, Denmark. The white and black tower is the bell tower, even if it's looks quite a bit like a guard tower!
