A lot of modern architects in the West hate Brutalism because “it’s boring”, “dystopian”, and insert generic “commies bad” remark. Ignoring that brutalist architecture arised in Socialist countries as a solution for quickly and efficiently building many homes to solve a housing crisis. They have similar views toward sustainable, “eco-minimalist” buildings because again, it lacks their precious ornamentation.
Meanwhile, they design buildings that look like sandwiches and other insane things.
i don’t understand
is the implication that brutalism does take inspiration from random objects and people dislike it because of that?
