Avoriaz vanguard architecture

When I still was a teenager, I was raptured by the contemporary architecture used in building Avoriaz, a brand new ski resort that sprang out of nowhere near my hometown.

While it was conceived in the mid sixties, it was inspired by the contemporary American architecture of this era. It looked radically different at the time and because of it, I kind of liked it.

Was it functional as well as good looking? Not really, the living space was restricted, to extract as many Francs as possible out of each square meter sold and the concrete construction made it all but impossible to alter the rooms as time went on.

Does it still looks good? Not really; this alas is the worst part. The wood siding looks old and in a permanent state of disrepair. Am I still infatuated with it? No, the love is definitely gone.
