This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.

Cheap brutalism can look good.

Can you share examples of good and bad brutality buildings that are cheap? I'm just curious what you like

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.
