> A Brutalist library can give one the sense that it houses the knowledge of hundreds of generations. Or it can resemble a turkey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robarts_Library https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robarts_Library Brutalist structures are hideously ugly and oppressive to the human spirit. Why anyone thinks architects and advocates for the dehumanizingly ugly should be allowed to use public spaces for these projects is a mystery to me. We have to share these spaces, and for people to say things like "sometimes you should feel insignificant" and then impose it on the rest of us in building form is objectionable.
