They look cool and I appreciate them as an art piece. But I would never want to live in one or in a city filled with them. They make you feel uncomfortable. People have enough stress, no need to be assaulted by the buildings as well 😅

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.

You could also review the ICC Building as well as "Die Schlange", wich are two rare buildings wich represent late modern high tech architecture.

greetings from berlin - i know this "mäusebunker" very well - it is great - not nice - i am a product designer - developing bicycles - and i appreciate this extraordinary architecture
@NC-qc7wd
This building is magnificent because Organic Brutalism's aesthetics marry opposing forces to strike a harmonious balance. The robust, unrelenting forms of Brutalism, using raw concrete and aggressively straightforward design, mash with the gentle, undulating lines of organic design.

Ive been in nr. 1 and 2 when I worked at the Free University and we had to take water samples from our department to be tested.
@cloudypianos
Most brutalist architecture in the U.S. looks like crap but these are pretty interesting.
@peter_meyer
Sorry, but the ICC is definitely missing in the video.
@DashingPartyCrasher
Well, to each their own. I just can't relate to anyone's love for lots of concrete and plaster, no matter what style. To me, brutalist buildings are definitely brutal to look at. 😖
@Bobaklives
Mouse Bunker may be the best combo of name/appearance 😂 Mäusebunker is even better in German.

There's a small one on the corner of Gottschedstrasse and Bornemannstrasse in Wedding that I like. It looks like a machine gun outpost. You can see it in Streetview in Google Maps. And there's a green building opposite the new BND complex on Chausseestrasse. It's not raw concrete but it's quite brutal and scary looking.

the church looked like a prison.

ICC Congress Building is like from an Alien Movie
@SonicPhonic
The concrete stucco at St. Agnes made me think of the probability of dust and an allergic reaction. How could this surface be cleaned? Most of the buildings at my university-York, Toronto are brutalist, designed for California, which doesn't work for Canadian winters. Architects seem to have ignored common sense for approximately 3,000 years or more. Architects often seem to be appeasing their egos at the expense of comfort for those who use the building. Romanesque churches look so dour. Gothic cathedrals obviously have too much wasted space. Classical architecture seems ok, but Baroque/Roccoco....massive piles of just for centuries.

Alternative titel: the most depressing buildings in Berlin.

Modernist architecture in general sucks, yet brutalism stands out as by far the worst modernist abomination.
@susanhonegger9987
I definitely prefer going for a walk around Vienna. I need beauty & charm in my life, also green spaces & parks. This concrete stuff is very harsh
@johnreynolds5407
Nice presentation. As for "Brutalism": I think we can (and have) done better. Often overlooked is that "Brutalism" arose from a need to quickly and cheaply build structures in the aftermath of the Second World War. While that is understandable, I don't think those pressures and necessities of the moment create something enduringly popular.
