I hope my philosophy isn't Brutalism, because I find most of those buildings heinous. I'm not an expert, but it seems that Brutalism requires one to reduce all forms to their mechanical function. I think there are plenty of other good reasons to include a form, e.g. Corinthian columns are modeled after acanthus leaves, and I think that's just great. The form is telling a story about our connection with nature, and nobody is pretending that the column is actually an acanthus.
