If you are bothered by impracticality, wasted materials, pointless or cliche embellishment, etc. Brutalism becomes fresh air.
Particularly when those qualities are poorly executed, i find myself wishing for the honesty of brutalism. The area where I work is now a sea of 5 story condo buildings which try to hide their stick construction, have 4 difference facade materials, and looky flimsy like they are already decaying before they've finished construction.
I am desirous of brutal simplicity.
