 I vaguely remember reading that the reason windows are so small on brutalist buildings is because they were meant to prepare for a nuclear war and the idea was the flash of a nuclear blast wouldn't blind you if not that much light could get in. Don't know if that's true, but it's funny.

actually think there's convergent evolution toward similar concepts in the USSR but it's happening in a for-profit model instead of a centrally planned government one, but still driven by the demands of physics, engineering, economies of scale, vertical engineering, etc. even if the societal background has nothing in common culturally or politically. strip out the fancy furniture and add 40 years of wear and tear after an economic collapse and the american stuff would look a lot like the post-soviet stuff (or even worse). likewise, some repair and cladding onto rehabbed soviet-era apartment blocks can update them to look a lot like "luxury" apartments going up in austin. in no particular order:

Probably eco-architecture. Though it isn't core, it is often fundamentally brutalistic in a utilitarian sense, but much more heavily skewed towards green living spaces. Like this power plant:  Hotel in Singapore:   Residential building in Milan:  Commercial/concert hall in Fukuoka:

A Buttery Pastry posted:that's liberal architecture. the degree of thought put into most of that poo poo is literally that green = eco-friendly, and is entirely marketing bullshit to sell buildings that are just the same old poo poo Good Soldier Svejk posted:How much water do you figure those buildings are wasting irrigating those gardens There is no room for leftism in the current political agenda, so this is a bid from the perspective of an implicit post scarcity society. Otherwise the answer is hovels for all.

FreeRangeHexagon posted:so, what's going on in that last picture? A life-size representation of an apprentice miner down the pit shifting a derailed tub of coal. It faces the entrance to the Durham Miners' Association Hall and is overlooked by the statues of nineteenth-century miners' leaders. Originally commissioned by Easington District Council to commemorate the closure of the Easington Colliery in 1993, the work was constructed in the colliery's engineering workshop using on-site scrap. Following the decision not to install it at the intended site for fear that it might be vandalised, the sculptor, himself an ex-miner, gave it to the National Union of Mineworkers at Durham.
