    "Brutalism" is a tag they attach to crap concrete buildings devoid of humanity so they can pretend its crap appearance isn't really as ****ty as it is. It's just ulta cheap concrete construction utterly devoid of warm, humanity, style, or grace. Flush it already.

          Oh cmon, the front side of church looks nifty, I like the way the bands of glass and concrete really contrast with each other.

          I bet a pic from a different angle looks worse though.

              They should convert it to a missile silo. Then it could play it's part in the second coming.

                  There is tons of ugly, uninviting internationalist architecture in Washington. L'Enfant Plaza is filled with the stuff.
                  I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
