    Brutalism is cool. I especially like “functional” brutalism like how a lot of Telephone Switching offices were built in the brutalist style during the Cold War to be resistant to nuclear explosions. Efficacy of surviving a nuclear blast aside, it did make them resistant severe weather events which is certainly a quality I’d want for my critical infrastructure.

    I’d also be all for carving bas-reliefs on the walls of brutalist buildings and other hardy art decorations.
