Brutalist Architecture

Does anyone else find images of this style of architecture to be weirdly soothing?

>>1470 it makes sense as theyre the public works buildings of our childhoods.

>>1472 what do you mean by this?

I enjoy it, because it looks logical, functional, and often (relatively)pretty.

well I like this stuff in a dystopian collapsed society where everything is made out of concrete and steel. so I can shout "Only half the world is teflon and asbestos the rest is flammable" while throwing molotov cocktails. I hate this ugly stuff in my neighborhood though...

>>1475 If I had a house built to order, I would use this kind of architecture. Sure, I'd probably need to fit within a HOA(fuck those guys), but I'd do whatever I could in a brutalist style.

>>1475 i get this reference and appreciate it

>>1470 >Does anyone else find images of this style of architecture to be weirdly soothing? Very much so, I don't know what it is about that architecture but I love it.

>>1470 Oh god yes. Especially a nice spacious well furnished room

>>1909 >>1470 >>1474 >>1476 Anime, cyberpunk video games, brutalist architecture and computer IT/programming. There is nothing about me fuarrrk ing unique is there. Like no in a special flower kind of way but in a how the hell do fuarrrk ing all of my interests overlap with everyone in the same way? Also it's very pretty. I think I love it most because its like a minimalist structure but the airiness of the windows and wide open spacious is replaced with concrete and claustrophobia. It's a both parallel and opposite of minimalism

>>1918 This is what happens when you visit an imageboard full of like-minded people. Were you expecting something different or contrary?

>>1918 It's not any one feature, interest, or experience that makes us unique. What makes us unique is the one of a kind combination of common traits.

Commieblocks are /cyb/

>>1923 I love commieblocks I was born in the former Eastern Bloc, so I always associate them with childhood As for brutalism, I'm not a fan. Minimalist architecture is bland as it is; adding concrete gives me nausea However, I do think the dystopian aesthetic of brutalism works perfectly with government/public service buildings

>>1470 Yep. Nice stuff

>>1470 i think most of it is too sloppy for my taste i only like modern architecture if it is actually a work of art and executed in a very consistent fashion.

I don't really know how to talk about art, and I never have an opinion on a work of art beyond I like it/I don't like it, so bear with me. The brutalist aesthetic is minimalistic and austere. It makes a building look monolithic and monumental - like stonehenge or the pyramids. A brutalist building looks modern while also looking like it's stood there for a 1000 years. Even if it's small it looks imposing and epic, as if it were above human scale. Brutalism is grim, cold, dystopian, epic, and futuristic, such a building is looks unnatural especially when surrounded by nature or open space. I like everything about it. >>1472O Or maybe this is the reason I like it, I spent the first 10 years of my life in Eastern Europe.
