Me: “Perhaps we should put function ahead of form”

There is a middle ground. Living in a concrete block city probably isn’t the best for your mental health.

Show me an office tower that is not built with wrought iron and concrete. The thing people don’t like about Brutalism is its honesty. If a layer of chinzy art deco spray painted Styrofoam is the difference between making it through the day and cracking up, you’ve got bigger problems.

This also heavily undersells how beautiful a clever concrete structure can be. I’ll take eye-popping geometries of stone over flat texture-less mirror-window walls any day.

The university I attended was almost entirely composed of brutalist buildings, and I loved it.
