It's funny because most of the new private development going up in DC is all glass curtainwall and colored spandrel glass. Really good looking stuff

But yeah those buildings are ugly as shite. The FBI building has been in the works to be demolished and relocated to a DC suburb for a decade now. I think they're still power fighting over who's suburb gets it (NOVA or shitty Maryland)

Brutalist just happened to be the "in" style when these buildings were raised. DC has some very nice areas and I'm glad I moved here.
