I would never refuse to be in favor of it.

irl in context, when you're actually on the Southbank. it's really not that bad.

Specifically the national theatre which is my favourite. Also bits of the southbank are painted.

Let’s not do this to any buildings that weren’t designed for it.

And, let’s design some for it.

Don't @ me I like brutalism, especially in the middle of the day when the sun's the brightest. A nice rest for the eyes in a city of flashy reflective shit.

government started painting the largest brutalist building in my city, a public museum. the architects, historians and the like living in nearby where like "wtf you doing?" it was order to stop and sandblast

Brutalism is cool. I especially like "functional" brutalism like how a lot of Telephone Switching offices were built in the brutalist style during the Cold War to be resistant to nuclear explosions. Efficacy of surviving a nuclear blast aside, it did make them resistant severe weather events which is certainly a quality I'd want for my critical infrastructure.

I'd also be all for carving bas-reliefs on the walls of brutalist buildings and other hardy art decorations.

Where is the other post like this about the other painted brutalist architecture? I can't find it.
