I swear there were like 3 guys in the 60s or something that loved brutalism so much that they spent the next few years going to major cities to convince mayors to build the ugliest, most ghastly buildings that would remain as eyesores for decades to come.
Brutalised architecture absolutely slaps when done right
It's kinda okay, but some cheap white (or any other color!) paint would absolutely be an improvement in my eyes. I've yet to see an example (and at this point I don't think there is any), where paint over otherwise okay brutalist architecture would improve things. Bare Concrete is just an ugly and unfinished look.
