Hot take but I also dig creative brutalist buildings like Boston City Hall and the Boston Government Services Building. I just like how permanent it looks, like cold war architects were reminding people to think of the future. But I'm probably in the minority.

Heck yeah! I lived in a city with a bunch of architecture like that, always hear people saying how ugly it is, but I love it so much. Nice to meet another fan.

Cool link! Yeah I dig this stuff. It sucks that so often Brutalist buildings seem unloved. It's a shame to see weeds growing on a beautiful monument like that. And Tallinn tower looks rad, this is the first time I've seen it.
