| Re: Brutualism | |

In Response To: Brutualism (Miguel Chavez) : How funny in that just recently brutalism and how 'ugly' it is and the costs : inherent in keeping it around, etc. were all covered in a recent NYT : article. Which then led me to look at all sorts of other examples of : Brutalism around the world and it all looks so familiar. : http://www.google.com/search?q=brutalism&tbm=isch : And I agree with nilla: doesn't seem forced to me. : - M Interesting article - I suspect you'd find similar public opinion across the country about the ability of those buildings to wreck a cityscape. In my mind, I don't think of big concrete bunkers when I think of Halo. I know they're there, and that the original xbox release probably exaggerates that look, too. When I think of it, for some reason I'm always thinking of the sweeping, curved lines of covenant design, or the kooky forerunner stuff which to my eyes - and admittedly only with modern graphics - seem more about playing with angles & design, more fantastic than grounded, more Frank Lloyd Wright than Brutalist. But I'm no architect nor the person you'd call on to appreciate good architecture or tell the difference between styles.
