I actually just tried looking that up, to see if such a word actually exists in English. I found a stack exchange thread asking this same question but no one had a suitable answer. So, yeah, I guess it's up to you to contribute to society by inventing and popularizing this new word. Enjoy your new destiny.
I guess this is technically the opposite of what you are trying to convey, but your comment reminded me of a song I havenât thought about in a decade
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.
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.
Damn. I rather like the interwar style of architecture: pretty lines and compelling nuances and decorations. Something to distract myself with as opposed to brutalist architecture.
I think that was the original idea for brutalist buildings, complementing them with plants? I don't want to look for a source right now though, so take it with a grain of salt.
I've been looking for a reason why I find them unpleasant and you found it for me. They look like the decaying Nazi bunkers I got to explore on a Danish beach when I was a kid.
Though I also don't like massive towers of glass. Or rowhomes. Or really cities in general. Give me a nice cave in a swamp any day.
I was watching this and thinking, almost. How did a country start building like this, for the people and then stop. Then it is all apparent, the Witch got in power.
It appears the growth of these "for the benefit of people" views were replaced with the old ages of the greatest and silent generation, and replaced with the "me, me, me. My money" of the boomer generation.
I can't help but thinking how things could have been different if we continued on from the old timers. I know ww2 destroyed an economy that was lucky to survive it, that's in itself is also an interesting thing to think how the world would have been without it.
