A brutalism joke and then a sad nostalgia-killing picture of color use today

How many pots do i need to smoke before i understand what the frick you're trying to get me to over think?

Congrats, now you've proven that brutalist architecture is ugly as frick painted too. Let it go.

How ironic in corporate America is it that whatever architecture style you call that is exactly the same that is the cheapest it build?

I didn't know this was such hidden/secret knowledge.

This is the Geisel Library at UCSD. Was there last year. Never been painted and just completely concrete. Cool building though.



Edit, dangit glassart, I didn’t read yours first.

Is this something loons and sophists waste their meager intellectual energies on?

I know possible sources of the reds and skin colors. But blues and greens almost had to have come from copper minerals and they were a lot harder to find (and had important uses).
That blue green on the Parthenon was probably not sourced from the volcanic action south of what's now Naples.

It took many centuries before Paris Green was discovered. (And more decades before its toxicity was known.) (Arsenic)
