Love me some good old fachwerkhäusers
I have a fairly functional form of autism, but I sometimes struggle finding balance in points of interest I get enthusiastic about, and nobody really matches my enthusiasm, even though they try. It often feels like rejection, but this post really puts it in perspective for me. I'm not always reasonable/flexible when I'm like that. Thanks for sharing.
(To give an example related to this post; I wouldn't assault someone for having a different opinion, but I could definitely debate them with a passion that's a little out of place and not as reasonable as I'd like to believe it is. "Building with concrete blocks? What is even wrong with you, where you never thought proper construction? What do you mean cheap building costs? People who want to build cheap buildings shouldn't be allowed to build anyway".

The internet suddenly makes a bit more sense to me
I like the cut of this dudes jib.
To be fair, brutalist buildings are fugly
To you.
The peak of brutality architecture beats any other type in my eyes. It's beautiful in a way no other building or style compares.
Unfortunately many brutalistic buildings are far off from its peak and just look like lazily designed gray blobs. High-effort brutalism can look good (or can look inappropriately evil but that's besides the point); low-effort brutalism always looks cheap.
Cheap brutalism can look good.
Can you share examples of good and bad brutality buildings that are cheap? I'm just curious what you like
For good brutalised, look at the Barbican or Habitat 67
Yes but I'm currently traveling and have very limited Internet access... I'll try and remember to do this in a couple weeks when I'm back into good connectivity.
Plus being home will let me pull out my Big Book of Brutalism to reference.
I dunno, I think they're kinda ... neat, I guess? Like, yeah, they're technically pretty ugly, but somehow in a way that makes them interesting.
Trying....and failing, to think of a good portmanteau of interesting and ugly.
Edit: intugly? Ugteresting?
