- hellisothers 5y agoI’d say, to the average person the Brutalist aesthetic is certainly synonymous with ugly minimalism.
- granitepail 5y agoMaybe the backend was written in concrete.
- culi 5y agoI agree. Just look through some of the listed sites on brutalistwebsites.com[0] and you'll quickly realize most of these designs are NOT easy to pull off [0] https://brutalistwebsites.com/ https://brutalistwebsites.com/
- jonwinstanley 5y agoYes, and brutalist refers to French word for raw concrete, Brut, not in relation to the adjective Brutal.
- cpach 5y agoUgly? I don’t agree. I think it’s a clean and fresh layout. I don’t think it’s incorrect to call it brutalist.
- avereveard 5y ago> fresh [...] brutalist Lol
- NoGravitas 5y agoBrutalism means making the form support the function, and being true to the materials you're using. I'd say this qualifies.
- avereveard 5y agoAbsolutely not, besides, even assuming that brutalism also include function over form, the site isn't true to materials, as links and fonts are obviously fancied up, and the page structure is absolutely hidden in a sea of white. Moreover, the structure is slaved to the content and not the other way around. lol who donvoted this? you don't need more than two minutes of image search to utterly demolish the notion that brutalism is function over form.
