Maybe it’s because I grew up within walking distance of the Indiana University campus, which has a lot of brutalist architecture (for example, this is the library), but I honestly don’t mind it if it’s done well. It can just also be done really poorly.

The trees help! (embedded that here:)
Took my mind here 👇 But San Francisco’s 130 year-old de Young Museum isn’t brutalist is it?:
I like it in any case. Doesn’t hurt that it’s one of the most renowned art museums in the country.
Fun fact, the library is not put together with mortar. The limestone blocks are stuck to each other with a special glue.
