Someone else already commented about how this has nothing to do with brutalist architecture.
But it also has nothing to do with brutalist websites.
There’s really no relation between this list of guidelines for brutalism and between sites that actual people would describe as brutalist.
That term has been kicking around for a few years now. Personally, I always felt it a very evocative definition for these kinds of sites:
https://brutalistwebsites.com/ https://brutalistwebsites.com/
A few other key words that come to mind are “artsy”, “experimental”, perhaps “post-modern”. And also “barren”, “self-important”, “hostile”.
What the guidelines in this article have in common is not that they lead to brutalist websites, it’s that the lead to good websites.
So why hijack a confusing term?
- mariusor 3y ago"hostile" for a website that doesn't force its users to download megabytes of javascript and images to be usable? That's not quite what I would say.
