One of my uncles, a civil engineer, once explained to me just how much work and attention to detail it took to build a brutalist building. The planks for the forms that took the wet concrete had to be carefully chosen according to their grain. Knots were not allowed. These were then sandblasted to enhance the wood grain structure so that this appeared in the dry concrete. It was almost a work of art to get all this right because later there was no going back to fix mistakes. These were visible in the building's facade for the rest of its days.

Brutalism gets a bad rep but I've always thought it's awesome. In Mexico there's a ton of Brutalist architecture in public spaces and I love going there. There's a ton of beauty in exposed concrete.

Most brutalist architecture in the U.S. looks like crap but these are pretty interesting.

Mouse Bunker may be the best combo of name/appearance 😂

Mäusebunker is even better in German.

Modernist architecture in general sucks, yet brutalism stands out as by far the worst modernist abomination.

The curch looks abandoned. I wonder if was abandoned bc it was ugly.

@Nigelblau

Awful looking architecture.

Oppressive. Just like the BBC.

@danielbecker9505

All shames of ugly buildings in Berlin. Bad taste.

@tjohannam

Brutalism is a branch of extraordinarily ugly architecture. A child of modernist architecture, equally ugly.
