Personally I don’t like it because Britain was full of it when I was growing up (still is in places) and it was - ugly - dirty - dark - felt impersonal, not designed for people - usually smelled of piss - often associated with petty crime They create spaces that are unfriendly, often cold, wet and dark. They have odd corners and cavities hidden away from view. As a result nobody felt affection or ownership of the spaces, so they would be used as a toilet, or a site for mugging. Most brutalist buildings should be wiped from the earth. People report liking living in the Barbican, perhaps we can keep that one. Most of the rest are nothing more than an eyesore.
