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.
To me, it feels like a depressing underfunded public university
I love that aesthetic personally, especially compared to hyper clean hospital looking buildings
Not to mention, the Brutalist architecture interior will look the same in 20 years, while any other kind would just look dilapidated and aged as shit. As long as someone is living in there, concrete don't age, son. And even if it falls apart, just make some more concrete to fill it in.
Maybe this is just my Northeast prejudice, but brick is so much classier. Also concrete doesn't age, but rebar sure does
Honestly... I like it.
and we could actually paint brutalist architecture.
Gotta repaint I bet like every other year though.
Would make good communal gatherings tho
"prime"

I see what you did there
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?
Wasn't it the "impenetrable" forest that did them in?
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.
I was told living in Legoland wasn't actually an option. I feel lied to.
I think this might be Duploville.
James May tried!
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.

They are dark looming alien structures not fit for humans. If you don't believe me go live in one. Visiting (or just seeing a photo) is clearly not enough
