I have to disagree with the idea that brutality buildings inevitably degenerate into dank and oppressive. Those qualities are almost always orthogonal to style.

I have to disagree with the idea that brutality buildings inevitably degenerate into dank and oppressive. Those qualities are almost always orthogonal to style. Usually they have to do with pretty much universally bad design moves, like limited natural light, confusing circulation, and cheap finishes. Of course, poor maintenance can make almost any building pretty dank before too long.
