I swear there were like 3 guys in the 60s or something that loved brutalism so much that they spent the next few years going to major cities to convince mayors to build the ugliest, most ghastly buildings that would remain as eyesores for decades to come.
Brutalised architecture absolutely slaps when done right
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!
