Post pictures of your fav brutalist architecture

Brutalism thread? I'm not going to lie - it's growing on me every day.

Giuseppe Perugini’s Casa Sperimentale, near Rome.
Built sometime in the late 1960s. It's pretty amazing, especially the wear and time on concrete that has ensued from Perugini's death in 1995.

Brutalism is like most forms of architecture. If it's done well it looks good. The standard for brutalism seems to be set higher though since the style itself is so plain and utilitarian.

Is this supposed to be communist art?

Brutalism only really works at small scales. A brutalist single family home can be a beautiful thing. Large brutalist buildings are almost impossible to pull off.

It would look so much better without that extruding portion on top.

Is it really meant to look like something from dystopian fiction?

Is there some irony here that I'm not getting?

Cheap to make, and looks imposing. Also, usually obvious where you're supposed to go when you walk inside.

I imagine it's a bitch to keep clean in wet climates.

SRSLY

It's like some horrible drug-fueled Sci-Fi future horror setting.

Like George Orwell and Philip K. Dick had a nightmare baby.

wow nice parking garages assholes

Marvelous.

brutalism is truly the patrician choice

If you're in a Judge Dredd comic, I suppose.

Holy shit this looks dope

Imagine living in such a house by yourself

I prefer Art Deco. It has some features of Brutalism, but it keeps some Romanticism.

beijing

Literally looks like the buildings from the movie Equilibrium.

Why is Art Deco the most stylin shit by a country mile?

C O M F Y

Maybe it's because it hearkens back to a time of more optimism in the United States, who knows.

art deco is sexy
