Brutalised architecture absolutely slaps when done right
Brutalism has absolutely grown on me with age
It's kinda okay, but some cheap white (or any other color!) paint would absolutely be an improvement in my eyes. I've yet to see an example (and at this point I don't think there is any), where paint over otherwise okay brutalist architecture would improve things. Bare Concrete is just an ugly and unfinished look.
For me personally that looks very interesting if that's the right word, it pikes my curiousity, but it evokes a very uneasy feeling which would make me want to leave rather than hang around this area.
Kind of "nothing is allowed here if it's not with explicit purpose"
This looks like something out of Mass Effect.
Well the right hotel looks pretty decent, although seeing just bare concrete makes me want to indulge in suspicously cheap vodka and intoxicate myself for my entire life + depression.
It has it's weird charm, like looking back to the awful past of the USSR. These are a great reminder for us eastern europeans to never ever let another communist regime to power.
Maybe I would love the brutalism's uniqueness but this stigma is coming strong with me unfortunately.
Looks like the Barbican in London to me, it's apartments and a public bar/drinking/working area, nice spot to hang out!
