Nope. Most Brutalism still looks ugly and unfinished. Yeah it's cool that concrete can be made into all kinds of shapes, but I'd argue while Brutalist forms may be technically difficult they are not particularly aesthetically pleasing over the long term. I think a lot of this Brutalist revival comes from people who don't live with these buildings (not all but I think a majority.) Brutalist buildings are impressive and even bracing when you first see them, but if you are in a position to see them every day, that's when they become drab, dull and even an ugly. There's a reason they developed that reputation over time, and only now when a generation of people who aren't familiar with them and don't live with them finally rediscover these buildings they are the ones who like them. Tell me you still love them if you actually live with them every day and don't just look at it on a desktop, then I might buy that this is more than a retro-nostalgia driven fad.
