I kind of like brutalist architecture, especially the interior design. It’s kind of soothing to be around, especially when it’s combined with plants.

"prime"
Uses primary colours
I see what you did there
Honestly... I like it.
and we could actually paint brutalist architecture.
Knossos reprazent.
Someone in the 1930's must have wanted to paint the Maginot Line. That was a long-ass line of brutal concrete structures. Maybe a snake, maybe rainbows. Imagine that France had a colorfully gay Great Wall.
Pst, instead of painting it, how bout you close that Belgium sized hole?
Nah we french people need that hole to buy good beers and cigarettes for cheap
Maybe a snake, maybe rainbows
This is why I never found a pot of gold.
When they were made brutalist buildings were supposed to be human centric structures. Made to be painted and gathered in.
The problem with brutalism is they are playing with space and light that can look beautiful but looks like shit the minute humans actually live in them.
Your big concrete box is cool but where do I put the fucking laser printer.
Yeah and malls were supposed to be egalitarian public spaces with plants and housing.
Can't have nice things under capitalism.
I was told living in Legoland wasn't actually an option. I feel lied to.
