It's amazing that something as inhuman as brutalism ever developed.
When you're thinking of brutalist structures you have to keep in mind the architectural world they were coming into. How the world had rarely seen such, flat, pure surfaces. We take them for granted now, every box building ever built owes something of itself to brutalisim.
But in the wake of WWII, I think it made a statement that things done in this building are done in a modern way. No gargoyles, no baron von-fuckpants, none of the old world trappings.
I find Brutalism to be very beautiful, personally.
Maybe it's because I grew up within walking distance of the Indiana University campus, which has a lot of brutalist architecture (for example, this is the library), but I honestly don't mind it if it's done well. It can just also be done really poorly.
The trees help! (embedded that here:)
Took my mind here 👇 But San Francisco’s 130 year-old de Young Museum isn’t brutalist is it?:
I like it in any case. Doesn’t hurt that it’s one of the most renowned art museums in the country.
Fun fact, the library is not put together with mortar. The limestone blocks are stuck to each other with a special glue.
As long as there's enough greenery around, what's the problem?
Brutalism is mint in the first place, but it really, really gets better with age and foliage. The more moss and lichen and ivy, the better it looks
