Brutalist architecture is the absolute ugliest thing on the face of the planet.

This is like brutalism squared. This is extreme and bleak even for brutalism.

In Havana you can tell when the Americans left and the soviets started building, and then when the Soviets left

It definitely looks like the library, and that’s funny. But, it’s ironic Stalinkas and Kruschevkas could easily improve our housing problem. But, they’re too socialist…and families living in the projects is worse than living in the streets.

There is nothing to like about brutalism.

It is an affront to everything that is architecture and design.

The name of its originator should be erased from history out of spite.
