There's a quote from the photographer in the article: "Brutalist architecture in Japan might not ruffle feathers locally but it’s considered divisive elsewhere.

  Maybe the photographer should stop telling other people in other cultures what they are supposed to like or dislike.

    Sharing the reasons behind one’s own like or dislike can easily come across as telling others what they should think

  One difficult thing about it is that concrete weathers in a way which is, let's say, not conventionally attractive. The architects produce mockups where the walls are wide expanses of pure pale gray, but rarely do a second mockup where everything is covered in dark grimy streaks. This museum's patterns of perforations distract from the weathering rather well.
