Interesting. Before I read what the building it is, and where, I had a thought that it suit for the cemetery. No irony here, I find it beautiful. I attended grandfather's funeral recently. There was a building, brutalist style too probably ( idk, I'm just a humble painter) and I noticed, the building looked not finished. I see, what I felt it should be now.

Seems hasty to demolish a 27 year old building. Must have had structural problems? Anyone in New Orleans that can remember that far back and enlighten me?

All hideous. It is as if we are evolving backwards when it comes to architecture.

Sorry not sorry, but I find most of brutalist buildings hideous and gloomy. It's all gray-ish concrete
