War babies needed to grow up, study, and gain work experience before being in a senior enough position to approve construction of a brutalist tower. 70s seems about right to me. Once there were consumers for this type of architecture, suitable producers would gain seniority as their tenders got accepted.
But I also don't buy the theory that it was the war, as I think you see similar brutal design in Nazi and Facist architecture.

- watwut 4y agoTo be fair, Nazi were formed by previous war too. But the theory is unconvincing to me too. It is not like WWI - WWII was the only period and place in producing atrocities. If there was something on the theory, you would have similar styles every after every genocide/war worldwide. Art and architecture history is way more complex then that.
