>>5073235>(Gently pats the wall a few times) Yep, survived 2 zombie apocalypses in this old girl
>>5073224I'd like to see the inside of that!
>>5076021>>5074669>>5073228>>5073227Where are those located?
>>5076021what even tf is this?
>>5073224>>5076021I'd say, these two are from the same building complex
>>5076226>>5076225Location Cité du Havre, Montreal, Quebechttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitat_67
>>5076277Thank you, anon!
>>5074655Just depressing cuckpods with an even more depressing view on the other brutalist cuckpods>>5073237This is the only slightly good looking thing in the whole thread. Brutalism truly is "humiliation ritual: the architectural style". Shit designed to depress and rule over goyms
>>5073224>>5076278Daily reminder that when you have to cover your building with greenery it's most definitely and ugly ass building...
>>5076393plants are beautiful.
>>5076509And yet they barely cover the underlying eyesore. Yes, brutalshlock is THAT bad...
>>5076881Nice early 2000s vidya with poligonal graphics. Is that Max Payne?
>>5076883CG? On the contrary!It's the Vern W. Miller Civic Center, Salem, Oregon.
>>5076884It was a joke about how ugly and dehumanizing that place is...
>>5076225>>5073228belgrade, called 'toblerone building'
>>5076885I hate the fags who connect brutalism with dehumanization. It is a beautiful style that is perfectly in tune with nature, connects really well with all sorts of greenery. British went so far to hide their rampant immigrant crime by claiming it was the beautiful brutalist buildings they inflicted those incompatibles with that were responsible for violence.
>>5076888It's literally the style of authoritarian faggots wet dreaming about their commie dystopia like Corbu, but of course it's incredible when hidden under greenery! The absolute state of betonfags
>>5078309You are literally complaining that something ugly is being made nicer, retardnot him btw
>>5078309You're confusing monumental with authoritarian. No dictator would appreciate facades being stripped of jingoism. Not surprising, since you are a brainlet.Also a common mistake to confuse brutalist architecture with commieblocks, which belies both your attention span and your aesthetic sense. You would probably miss a Stalinist skyscraper in the middle of Manhattan. They're all so tall after all!Brutalism is the architecture of sprawling urban vistas, universities, utility buildings, dams, schools, factories. The style of progress that frightens recidivists scurrying away under their faux marble arches. I almost love it more than Art Nouveau and Streamline.
(OP here, I am not the guy debating by the way)
>>5078311I'm conolaining about an architecture so ugly that it needs to be hidden under plants. Is that tok much fifficult to grasp for your concrete filled brain?>>5078315>insults ad hominem>noooo it wasn't Stalin's style, therefore Corbusier wasn't a full blown psycho dreaming of a socialist utopia (dystopia)!>it's so monumental! You don't see how great and uplifting the concrete poo is? It's basically like the Colosseum, but ugly af and dull, lime it was designed by retards in search of approval for their inflated egos...>the style of progressThat's art deco, brutalism is literally a style of primativism. They wanted to look like african mud huts but even uglier. Interesting how this shot architecture literally turns the people living in it in thugs (and I'm not talking about immigrants. Any popular complex built in brutal style well, brutalized its citizens to the point of becoming a banlieu (see Napoli's Vele. No immigrants, just poor terroni cramped inside hells of concrete and left there rot away)
>>5078912Well I'm talking to you and you're a fucking retard which I proved by debating your idiotic malformed nonsense of thoughts.I won't even go into conflating primitivism with brutalism since you cannot discern between throwback and streamline. If I was younger I'd be curious how someone can confuse mud with concrete, as pliability direly affects the form. Anyway you're a fucking retard.
>>5076885to be honest, I really really like itI don't know why I love brutalism so much.
>>5079568brutalism is honest.
>>5079728and let me add... "simple yet functional"
>>5078920>yes, I'm a fuckwit with a degree in pain in the assism, how do you know?Enjoy your concrete trash bonobo>>5079568Probably because you lived in a place brutalized by such shit since you were a kid and noe you think it's normal or even beautiful. You've been demoralized
>>5079760>Probably because you lived in a place brutalized by such shit since you were a kid and noe you think it's normal or even beautiful. You've been demoralizednah, you are totally wrong. I'm surrounded by beautiful architecture and plants.And I still love brutal-ism. You can like many different things and styles you know.
>>5079763Yeah, I know there's people who eats shit and chocolate at the same time... I call them freaks
>>5079857what a fag
>>5079858The architect who did that abomination? For sure!
>>5080584I hope all the brutalfags ITT are happily living in a hellscape like this one right now... otherwise they're just hypocrites
I've traveled all over, and Brutalism is everywhere....and it ALWAYS freaks me the fuck out. Some of it is intriguing, but some of it is Soviet Block shit, with minimal windows and reeks of depression. But fuck me....it's fascinating.
>>5081123>it's fascinatingJust like a trainwreck with plenty of gore. It's disgusting but you have to look at it. Possibly from a distance. Even better if in thumbnails on 4chan. When you see it irl you'll be cursed
>>5073235love it. pereira is a different brutalism. peak art. beautiful.
>>5081605>peak artOh yes, definitely. That unfinished deep sea oil drilling platform without sea is soul touching. Well, it literally feels like it's touching your soul in improper ways you'll have to show on a doll in front of a court>>5082323Inspiring... (suicidal thoughts)
>>5084252That is no brutalism architecture.Or is it visible exposed, unpainted concrete or brick? No, so...
>>5084017The definitive cuckpods
>>5084254https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preston_bus_stationRead. Especially the first paragraph.
>>5073224Friendly Reminder: In the movie, The Brutalist, the character of Laszlo Toth, Hungarian architect and holocaust survivor, does not exist. It was a made up movie based on two architects, Marcel Lajos Breuer (Weimar Republic) and Walter Gropius (Weimar Republic). Today’s ugly modernism architecture, sometimes called Bauhaus, is based on these two architects. One of them is responsible for the ugly building structures we call, the housing projects. The movie was complete Oscar bait from the outset. Anyway, why name him Laszlo Toth? The real Laszlo Toth is famous for his vandalism of Michelangelo’s Pieta. It’s the statue of Mary holding Jesus’ body when he was taken down from the cross. Laszlo took a hammer and severed the left arm, nose, and chipped one of the eyelids of, Mary. The way they try to hide things.
>>5084273Yes thank you
>>5084275Based post. I'd add that fascist/commie faggot of LeCorbu to the bunch of destroyers. Literally the horsemen of architecture's Apocalipse
>>5084271They do make for a nice platform level in a vidiogame or a Backrooms level.
>>5085860>>5086622Funny how rendering this shit in b&w makes it LESS depressing
>>5073415I was about to ask what the point was with this $200m structure but then wikipedia, as usual, had the answer>In January 2021, following three suicides at Vessel, it was closed to the public indefinitely. Vessel reopened in May 2021, then indefinitely closed again after another suicide two months later. It reopened in October 2024 following the installation of more safety barriers.
>>5088127>national theatreThe understated label (necessary, since it's impossible to tell that this pile of steaming concrete is a theatre) made me laugh at how pathetic this "humiliation ritual architecture" is
>>5073224Really great thread. The brutalist hater arguing with posters is entertaining, too.
>>5089148Thanks. I have plenty more buildings to post
>>5090726>I have plenty more buildings to postYeah, I bet thet really built a lot of crap in the last century. You can probably fill several threads with this pile of concrete poop
>>5090726please post moar
I won't be able to post over the next two weeks so here's some early ones, hope this thread is still around when im back >>5091599
if someone's able to keep the thread alive while i'm away i'm grateful
you can clearly see the use of the destructiveness of brutalism in movies.
>>5092423hope so, too! These are awesome! Thank you, Anon!
>>5091171>those chairs>that bench>those other chairsholy fuck what a waste of potential. Was this decorated by a retard with a $500 budget or some shit?
>>5093440Yeah, so much potential! Those shitty concrete walls surely push your creativity over the edge! (Because you'll be looking for different ways to cover them up and never look at them anymore, except in your nightmares)
>>5093440dozo
>no one posted anything from my universityyeah I don't blame you
>>5097367looks much nicer from the air
>>5097368Looks like shit from every angle, stop coping
>>5097390The fish pond actually makes that a bit comfy.
>>5073224this is probably my favourite image... EVER! :D
>>5098824>cover the architecture with greeneey>fill it with water>comfy!Just live in a forest, at least it doesn't have shitty concrete walls
>>5098851pass
>>5100590Cool idea, ugly rendition
>>5101524Still a cool try.
>>5076021worse looking than a favela at 10x the cost, smart
>>5076278least worse one i've seen, looks like a rejected set from some fagwars movie
>>5076021So fucking dope. It sucks American's are cucked into building with sticks and shitboard like the retarded animals they are.
>>5073224You mean, any big building you don’t happen to appreciate and have a gloomy pic of.
>>5076021>designed by Israeli-Canadian-American architect Moshe Safdie
>>5079569The building sci-fi shows love to film scenes on
>>5073224thanks for the thread, i enjoy brutalism very much
Sorry but the pics of this thread aren’t brutal enough. >>5073232Not bad, almost there but not quite>>5074669There’s something there, not even as good as a WW2 bunker, plus I doubt it could actually serve as one, meaning it’s not functional but nonsensical artsy fluff, waste or space labour and good concrete. >>5076881This feels too warm and humane but I like the general direction it’s going >>5077648Oh yeah very nice
>>5091168This is great. Feels very homely and pleasant. Almost as confortable as the liminal space images. Makes you feel like a slave of the state. Very anti civilian. It would probably crush the mind or any neurotypical too living there, which would just increase workplace productivity by weeding them out. >>5092729Classic. A beautiful display of industrial and technological might, practical and minimalist. The inside halls of the Death Star are also as /comfy/ as it gets. Nice, greyscale and filled with nazis. >>5109066Where is this?Generally I would say most brutalist buildings consist of looking whacky for the sale of looking whacky. As if some architect cretin just played around with the dots and corners in his 3 d software to create nonsensical floating polygons. Very unpractical. I would say only the NYC server building comes close to doing brutalist well. Practical and elegant. Minimalist with no architectural fluff or artsy nonsense. No washed concrete. Just a collection of vents and exhaust ports, in a slender monolith.
Uniwersus building in Warsaw. Used to be a bookstore, now an office building.
>>5118778That is no brutalism per definition.
Huge fan of concrete block houses.They look so safe and efficient.
>>5119884That's my point of view, too!Safe and efficient!
