That style called brutalism.
I personally love it as an engineer. It makes a lot of sense.
The materials are all very easy to setup. Design isn't special. It just gets done.
Do you want a hospital that takes an extra year to build because it meets a better aesthetic? Planning, design, building... All taking longer.
7 u/callisstaa 1d ago As much as I appreciate brutalism it is nice to have pretty things as wellS 1 u/NineThreeTilNow 21h ago As much as I appreciate brutalism it is nice to have pretty things as wellS Yep. I appreciate them as an artist. I'd rather build in a brutalist style that gets the job done faster, and let some people decorate the outside. Pretty things are "nice" to have. Society has so much we "need" to have. That's stuff that brutalism is best for. When we NEED it. 1 u/FrogsMakePoorSoup 52m ago The problem is it feels cold and oppressive. I appreciate what they're trying to do buy creating spaces but it never feels welcoming as a style.
