I don't hate brutalism but I'd much rather have the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Exhibition_Building https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Exhibition_Building than QPAC, rain or shine.
- ahoka 8mo agoI think both look ugly and megalomaniac.
- strken 8mo agoYou're entitled to that opinion, but if you give an alternative for how a big multi-storey building for large events and crowds should look then it will move the discussion forward.
- harimau777 8mo agoTo me the issue is that the alternative to brutalism isn't classic, art deco, art nouveau, googie, etc. It's soulless glass and steel designs. I'd rather have classic, art deco, etc. to brutalism but I'd MUCH rather have brutalism to modern glass and steel.
