Nah it was an architectural style that was super popular for a while. Everyone went through a "concrete is beautiful" phase. I hate it though, it ruins the cities it’s in. Horrible, cold, bland architecture that strips away the humanity in the style of a building. Extremely depressing to look at and be in.

I wouldn't consider that architecture.
Yet it was. The idea was not to be wasteful and extravagant, but to be good little socialists and design non descript buildings so everything is equal.
Not all were ugly, some of the form was fairly complex but most of it was very bland.

That is a myth. Reality is they were broke, and had to house people. Two world wars rekt them.

OK, this thread is forcing me to learn on a Sunday, but here's what I found:
6 styles of Victorian House Architecture with Examples
So I started looking up one of the styles, Second Empire, and found this somewhere:
(Editing to add a link to this image's page.)
But the stuff on that top link is better, and more relevant to houses and smaller buildings.

Expressionist. I thought it was a crime that New Orleans tore down the Rivergate.

Brutalist is actually coming back into style.

Socialist realism
quote:
Brutalism as an architectural philosophy was often also associated with a socialist utopian ideology, which tended to be supported by its designers, especially Alison and Peter Smithson, near the height of the style. This style had a strong position in the architecture of European communist countries from the mid-1960s to the late 1980s (Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, USSR, Yugoslavia).[8] In Czechoslovakia Brutalism was presented as an attempt to create a "national" but also "modern socialist" architectural style.

Soviet projects were built with damn near slave labor. Cost wasn't the issue. Projects in well visited areas were ornate and unusual, apartments were centrally planned, plain and equal.

I've always thought of it as "brutal on the eyes".

Naw, there are some good ones. I got to tour Habitat 67 in Montreal last year and its a really nice apartment building. Its very expensive to buy a place there and its in high demand.

God that’s ugly as sin 
Greco Roman, antebellum, gothic, neoclassical, and Japanese (edo especially) are far superior in every way

I hope not. Horrible socialist trash.

This thread has actually made me like brutalism even more. I may start voting for democratic socialists just in the hopes that they bring it back.

Doesn’t make it pretty. That Shits ugly. Looks like something a 2 year old built out of legos.
