They tend to look like something someone who didn’t give a shit made. “I just need a box for people to be in, who cares what it looks like?”
The example brutalist churches in another post here look like someone doing a horrible experiment in the Sims made buildings without bothering to use anything but some default wall texture they found buried in the dev tools that doesn’t even tile very well, because they just needed a place to torture Sims in and don’t care what it looks like.
Yeah, that comes off as oppressive.
- bombcar 3y agoThe oldest churches direct you to the heavens and God. Early modern churches direct you to the preacher. Modern churches direct you to the architect. (Or building repair services depending on whom you ask.)
- djur 3y agoI don't see it that way at all. A lot of care and thought went into these designs, and they evoke the kind of awe you would expect from a god's house. These aren't just hulking concrete bunkers like some of the institutional brutalism you see.
- snowpid 3y agoMaybe these architects should think, why their "well thought" experiments just look lazy designed.
- djur 3y agoThey don't. Are you telling me that you look at this and think "what a lazy design"? https://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2024/04/sacred-modernity-brutalist-churches-jamie-smith_dezeen_2364_col_8-1704x1363.jpg https://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2024/04/sacred-modernity-b...

- djur 3y agoThat isn't one of the buildings we were talking about. Indeed, in the post you responded to, I contrasted them with > hulking concrete bunkers like some of the institutional brutalism you see. Please make more thoughtful responses in the future.
- snowpid 3y agoWe were generally talking about brutalism and I searched shortly about sloppy designed example (besides many real life example I am unlucky forced to see) Please think more next why people disagree with your opinion. Also see it as a hind to be more thoughtful why brutalism is so unpopular.
- matthewmacleod 3y agoYeah, I mean it seems to me you just searched for some random picture and made literally no commentary about it. It looks completely fine. I always find it weird when people have this „everyone hates it“ attitude with no real commentary whatsoever.
- snowpid 3y agoI made several comments on this thread about the problem on this architecture. Do you live in a area with brutalism ? (if not , why do you like it?) Have you ask random passengers about their opinion?
