"Brutalism could be good if done correctly!"

Brutalism is beautiful

I want Erica Hartmann to crush my testicles

Imbecile.

I want to marry Erika Itsumi

Right

brutalism=/=post-modernism

brutalism is fucking awful and anyone that likes brutalism can kill himself for the tasteless, soulless faggot that he is
t.architect

Crush the degenerate
fashy war now?

> MUH TETRIS HOOSE :D

What the fuck do the 50s and gates community have to do with fascism? Stop projecting your Ameriblob fantasies onto European ideologies you faggots.

>you will never live here
Well thank god.

Does this thing have elevators? My god.

>my facade when Brutalists unironically pretend to have AESTHETIC

> he didn´t even bothered to google brutalist catholic churches

>entire thing made of fucking prefabs

What the fuck is this.

With brutalism everything looks either as a commieblock or as an artillery bunker.

>my skyline when a Brutalist applied for a permit near me

This is DesignKino, you ungrateful plebs

ok you picked a tricky one

...

function over form, nignog

1. That's not brutalism
2. It's kind of nice. Not as nice as the original but not enough of a downgade to really be worth complaining about.

What is it then?

Futurism>everything

that looks more postmodern than brutalist
looks like shit btw

looks like a slum house from Sim City

Please tell me the original was destroyed by a bomb. They didn't demolish the original to build that commie lego piece of shit did they?

The pic in the OP was taken in Nuremberg before it was bombed, the city still has a charm to it but it lost so much of its splendor and many buildings were not rebuilt according to their original style

Northern European functionalism

I don't know enough about architecture to identify it, but I do know enough to recognize what Brutalism is an isn't.

Consider pic related, and compare it to the OP. Notice how OP's pic.

neubauten ("new buildings", built after 1945)

>it's another "Veeky Forums is too autistic for brutalism" episode

why do so so many people think brutalism is communist architecture

No. If you happen to live in one of the hovering bits, you need to enter the building, walk up nine flights of stairs, leave the stairs, walk across the hall to the far stairway, walk up another eleven flights of stairs, leave those stairs through another hallway to a third flight of stairs, and then climb another six flights of stairs.

You are now imagining hauling a couch up all those stairways.

brutalism is literally autism in architecture form

because it is drab, dreary, and uncultured, much like communist countries

>t. a fuckwit

>t. cultural marxist

nope

While I much prefer traditional styles, with classic materials, resources and ornaments, I know how to appreciate the more simple styles that flourished during the XX Century.

I think we CAN'T go back to making exactly the same buildings we used to make before Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and Walter Gropius appeared, but we DO have to pass the stage in which architecture is now. Will explain it later in another post.

You're all fucking retards. Common sense you complete idiots, use it.

It's a photo composition made by surrealist artist Filip Dujardin.

>t. architect
yeah that means nothing faggot. Architects can be amazing or utter shit.

It is brutalism you ignorant assholes. Brutalism comes from "breton brute". Breton Brute = raw concrete. Ergo, EVERYTHING made mostly with raw concrete, is brutalism. However, you can find classic brutalism that followed the lines of modernism, futurism, metabolism and postmodernism between the 50s and 90s (like ); socialist brutalism that had some influence of art deco and early modern architecture, among others (like pic related, remember commies like to experiment with their architecture) and contemporary brutalism, which is obviously much more focused on shape and oriented towards minimalism than details and ornaments (like )

You can appreciate anything EXCEPT brutalism. There is nothing AT ALL good about brutalism. If you like it you are a pleb

It was an outgrowth from modernism, which was brought to America primarily by Germans fleeing the Nazis.

Fascists were way into scaled-up monumental neoclassicism, so modernism became the de facto antifascist academic architectural style.

Then when governments needed to build huge buildings cheaply out of reinforced concrete, brutalism was the modernist style ready at hand.

>living in a Brutalist apartment
>being allowed private property

Good joke, comrade

I lived from 2011 to 2014 in an apartment building that was basically a corporate copy of the Unité d'habitation, and it was very comfortable, quite roomy, and probably the most pleasant place I've ever lived.

Brutalism is probably the best you can do if concrete is what you have to work with. The quality you get out of it is down to socioeconomic strata, not the architecture.

Some of the buildings in my school are brutalist and I think they're awesome (pic related, university of massachusetts)

It's just awkward as fuck when the rest of campus is traditional New England houses or normal looking buildings with classrooms and offices.

I think you gotta commit to brutalism for it to really work tbqhwy.

Really what I'm getting at is that we need more brutalism, not less.

What a shit post

That's supposed to look like a piano also because its the fine arts building.
I think its neat.

It's worth asking the obvious question about a style's origin when it's fundamental principals align so completely along the "cheap to construct" axis. You know, bare concrete < painted concrete. Exposed pipes because you are "showing the structure instead of hiding it" < fitting them ugly thangs in walls or floors. And of course removing almost all design choices from the building allows for far cheaper design. It's beautiful in a completely cynical way. Throw up any shit you want, do nothing to make it subtle, and just say when people object "hey, it's modern, and better yet it's HONEST. Fuck ornamentation -- let's get back to the bare bones!" Go to ANY of these wanker's homes, and yeah. No way THEY are living in those concrete hell holes. But they sure as heck love to push it on everyone else.

I like them when its really simple and not try to be explicitly ''modern'', like for example using the same material as their surroundings, it could actually blend pretty good that way

In general, any style which has almost no residential examples, i.e. where the person paying for it has to live in it full time, is going to be institutional by default: forced upon those using it or living in it due to cheapness, ignorance, or stupidity, and papered over with claims of "style."

i could see the arabs being inventive with that type of style

Your example is explicitly anti-brutalist in its use of ornamentation, tiles, lattice (real or faux), curved walls like wicker, and various other touches which bring it out of the monstrous into the, at least, acceptable. It's fine to like that, but not to use it as an argument for why Brutalism does not suck balls.

better example

It's weird that they go full-on giant gold-plated space-penis ornamentation in Dubai instead.

Kolumba Museum - Peter Zumthor, built on top of a church ruin, also used for small praying space

i like how it retain the old structure

kengo kuma - onsen fujiya bathhouse

What has this thread devolved into? Just posting random buildings?

None of this shit is Brutalist art, jfc go read a book or something

made with bamboo referencing japanese traditional material

just showing how modern building could try to blend with old cities, OP pic is not brutalism btw

It's fucking hideous, soulless, dystopian, it looks like something out of a shitty sci fi movie from the '70s. If i had to walk past this I'd piss on it.

This clearly isn't brutalist, though. The only part that is is that wall on the right with a vertical slit in it.

Comfy as fug

Beautiful. I go there every few months, the exhibitions there are amazing.

You ever been there, user?

It's something that exists

Real brutalism has never been tried

>not brutalist

nice one ya hack

>not Nazi '''''architecture'''''

>t. neoclassicism fanboy

>all these plebeians

neoclassicists are truly the worst

Post good examples of modern architecture.

...

>it's another "open and democratic" concept illustration filled with latte-drinking faglords littering the public space
I fucking hate modern architecture.

lol go suck a dick

Ricardo bofill - conversion of cement factory into studio

he refer to his architecture as "romantic brutalism"; mixing medieval style with modern architecture

been there on trip, its great, even felt spiritual at times

That fits maybe 1/20th of the people.

muh dick

Simplicity is a good aesthetic.
