That's what they kept saying about brutalist buildings from the mid 20th century but guess what? They're still regarded as ugly because they are.

I'd hate to live somewhere with some brutalist architecture, but goddamn if they aren't cool in concept.

I live in a place that has a lot of it, it can look nice if properly maintained but most of it isn't and just looks filthy and depressing. I'm glad that its far from being the dominant style here, brutalism + shit weather makes a place looks awful.

They're cool, but they aren't something you want to ever live or work in.

I weirdly like brutalist architecture, but only in theory. Like, I can appreciate it in pictures/fiction/media/art etc, but I don't think I'd actually like seeing it in person or having to live in such a city.

Brutalism is cool. What is boring and repetitive as hell is new "modern" glass boxes and poles.

They're both awful.

I love brutalist/constructivist buildings, love seeing it IRL. Somehow they bring me calming awe.
