Exactly like that. Brutalism was an attempt to apply the principles of socialism to architecture. Like all 1:1 transpositions of theory into practice, it missed a lot of nuance and consciously ignored the contingencies of history -those discoveries made by trial and error that don't necessarily fit neatly into theory - resulting in terrible buildings.
