No, especially not when it's used to build subsidised flats like in OP.

>>12228618
Those clearly aren't flats.

That's a government building

yep. post more

Yes, especially when overrun with natural elements like moss and ivy

>>12228618
>subsidised flats

Why even would you think that.

>>12228618
>subsidised
What, do you think they were built for free?

>>12228839
that would be a dope circle driveway. all open like that with a little water element in the middle.

>rick owens design style is considered (in part) brutalism

>>12228846
Only if the water was actually blood. Or concrete.

>>12228849
I'm not that edgy, water would be fine.

I don't get what you guys see in this stuff. I know nothing about architecture so maybe I'm just not cultured enough. It looks very depressing, cold, uninviting and sad.

what draws you to brutalist architecture?

>>12228610

Anything is better than the soul less modern shit we have today. Why dress well when when your ambient is bland at best and downright ugly otherwise?

>>12228857
Honestly the name sums it up pretty well. It's brutal, unrelenting, angular, like it's attacking the environment around it

>>12228857
>It looks very depressing, cold, uninviting and sad.
That is my target aesthetic.

>>12228859
Seriously, I am so fucking sick on minimalist modern architecture

Matter of fact, I'm sick of minimalism everywhere except music

>>12228859
>>12228867
Isn't brutalism pretty modern and minimalistic?

>>12228861
>>12228863
Are you anons happy people? :o) or sad people? :o(

>>12228849
Oh shit I used to walk by this constantly and wish I could play on it when I was a kid

Now it's all drained

>>12228871
Bipolar so pick one
>>12228869
It's similar but it isn't as timid and sterile and harmless as modern minimalism. It's destructive and loud and scary. It's a good change of pace

>>12228871
I'm pretty fucking happy all of the time. Aesthetic isn't necessarily reflective of emotion.

>>12228874
>>12228875
Are there any examples of brutalist single amily homes? Or are they all commercial buildings or apartment buildings?

>>12228875
>Aesthetic isn't necessarily reflective of emotion.
anon pls

>>12228610

Welcome in Bobigny, France
>This is actually the building where I work
>mfw

>>12228876
Generally speaking, brutalism is more popular with large commercial/government buildings. But yes, there are brutalist private homes, just not many.

>>12228877
Well at least not in this case it isn't.
I'm a stable, happy person, and this surely isn't stable, happy architecture.

>You will never be part of the urban scene in an full brutalist like metropoly

And to think the chinese are making a 1:1 copy of manhattan when they could have brought together the crazyest architecs and engineers and make an archtectural wet dream, instead they decide to be retarded copycats.

>>12228888
Nice digits. Seems like all they build for homes in my area anymore are ultra modern white boxes

>>12228849
>>12228872
Where is this?

would this be considered brutalist?

>>12229258
Downtown/Financial District San Francisco

>>12229274
Definitely not

>>12228618
>so worried about muh agenda I don't even realize they aren't flats

>>12228857
it's the architectural equivalent of post-punk
and post-punk is pretty cool

How about real North Korea?

>>12229274
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
no

>>12229274
More like neoclassicism.

>>12229274
no that's an overhyped dumpy gaybar

>>12229592
Another side of the building.

>>12228876
this housing complex on the outskirts of Naples looks pretty brutalist to me

>>12229640

I think Brutalism can look good when juxtaposed with nature (i.e. having a building by itself in the middle of the woods.)
Otherwise, I'm not a fan. I have to walk by pic related every day and I think it looks awful.

>>12229640
is that a housing project? looks like it should be in a third world country (oh wait, you said Naples)

what would this building be considered? I imagine likely not brutalist, but that staggered level look and the windows kinda reminds me of some of this.
