I like a lot of brutalist buildings.
If I could, I would build a brutalist building
for my home. I have my truly amateur drawings
ready. Given that I have 0 education as an architect
or civil engineer it would probably collapse before
it was ever finished.
I am only aware of one brutalist private dwelling in
Oslo, there might be more.
Another was planned but that is a long story, and it was not approved in the end.
Most brutalist buildings have some character and they
cannot be ignored
I fully understand that the brutalist esthetics is lost
for most people.
According to Wikipedia we are now in the postmodern phase of architecture.
The example buildings form makes me think that a lot of the world has not
made it that far yet.
Buildings being erected over the past 20 years all seem to be rectangular
boxes. If they want to be fancy its glass and steel.
Extremely generic. Some try to make up for it by having a lobby with a ridiculously high ceiling.
The open space is not used for anything creative or anything at all really.
The huge empty space speaks for itself.
I highly prefer the brutalist era.
If nothing else, it is less boring.
