30 Pics That Perfectly Sum Up Brutalist Architecture, As Shared On This Online Page (New Pics)

I really like this one. It's visually interesting and all the curves somewhat soften the overall hard, concrete look.

A lot prettier than most swimming pools.

Mary Queen of Peace, a pilgrimage church in Velbert-Neviges, Germany. https://architecturerevived.com/sanctuary-of-mary-queen-of-peace-church-neviges-velbert/

Awww 🥰

Some bushes and trees and I would find this totally acceptable. I like the swirls.

The Senate of the Republic?

this is somewhere in Italy and its one of my favorites

Cool 👍

Add alien eggs plese.

It may be brutalist architecture in daylight but, TBH, I think it looks cool by night

I think this one is kind of cool. (Not pretty though)

St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church Norton Shores, Michigan https://www.michiganmodern.org/modern-buildings/saint-francis-de-sales-church/

It's where the 3rd world galactic senate holds It's meetings.

Somewhat organic 🤔

Definitely see a Tie Fighter here. Quite wide..maybe Darth Vaders experimental TIE fighter.

Like the backside of a CRT monitor

No way I am parking there. What if someone gets off the other side?

Hmmm, looks like we are in Aruh, Arizona.

Look! It's the spirit of any lovely architecture style being exorcized from the building!

You'd be better off making your home in the play area

I can see these buildings from my balcony in MTL, they're pretty. In summer time they're choked with native plants. Really quite beautiful

This is a bit shopped. There is actually only one of these buildings.

Church Of Gynaecology

Banco de Londres es una obra de Clorindo Testa construdia en Buenos Aires, Argentina en el año 1959 - 1966, still standing and being a bank

I see a lot of people sunbathing, but where is the beach?

I would totally live here. I would feel like Tony Stark.

It says it's somewhere in Wuppertal, Germany

They didn't quite align the high-dives with the pool.

This is at the peak of Mount Sněžka. The border between Poland and the Czech Republic runs across the peak. The photo is taken from the Czech side and shows the weather research station on the Polish side.

This one probably inspired King Vlad to invade Ukraine.

Google image search results indicate that this is a storm surge barrier, Neeltje Jans, Netherlands.

Concussions are fun!

Kielder Water, a reservoir in Northumberland, North East England

The water looks like a bid puddle, but clean that up and put it next to a lake...

This was the Information desk inside the TWA Terminal at New York's JFK Airport in 1962

Wouldn't want to use these if it was windy

These were "le Vele di Scampia", four residential buildings built between 1962-75 near Milan. They never lived up to their design and, as they decayed they were occupied by progressively poorer people and became a hive of gang activity. They were finally torn down starting in 1997 with the last one, which had been derelict for years, in 2020.

I'd be far happier classifying this as a sculpture rather than architecture.

isnt this the University in Delft? I know ive seen it before. edit: yes! *pats self on shoulder*

Corviale is an housing projects built in Rome in the 1970's It was conceived as an independent community for about 8000 people.

Same as #31, Chuvashskiy Gosudarstvennyy theatre, Cheboksary, Russia

Christopher Inn. Columbus, Ohio. I spent a night there. Cool.

Does anyone else see an Imperial Walker?

Like the concept, but not the execution. Giving serious dystopian vibes.

That's what I call a Spaetzle Grater...

Is this the same one from above but another angle?

one of my favorites. Hotel Uzbekistan. looks like a giant bent amp :-D

Belarus. obviously inspired by the similar one in Tokyo thats been torn down :-(

wave breakers

Terrassenhaus [Terrace House] residential complex, Rostock, Germany, 1970s

That is the Chinese Central television agency headquarters in Beijing. A monstrosity for a monstrosity.

The Speaking Golfballs.

Let me know where this is. I've been looking for a place to wait out the zombie apocalypse.

Ooh, wonky.

Doesn't look quite so brutal in miniature. Maybe some of the brutal effect resides in size or repetition, both contributing to distain for humans
