- Gibbon1 11y agoOh yes that's quite the nasty bit of concrete.
- Marazan 11y agoI would love to know the mindset and thought process of Brutalist architects and admirers who see that and see beauty whilst the majority of the rest of the world sees a broken down leaking eye sore. We are so far apart it is like trying to understand and alien. I have seen a scant handful of Brutalist building that I consider fine works of craft but the gob smacking majority are pitiful piles of concrete and exposed trusses.
- Khaine 11y agoI don't think I've ever seen a Brutalist building that I consider good. Worse still, stupid architects get them heritage listed so we can't even replace them with actually useful buildings (i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Offices,_Belconnen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Offices,_Belconnen)
