Got these pictures from an article by a well-known US news outlet. Which literally only mocks the brutalism style and calls it ugly in a very “communism bad” undertone, and adds nothing of value. And they weren’t even the creators of these images. So I won’t even bother linking it and not give it SEO.
IDK what they were going on about because all these buildings look amazing. Weird looking yes, but also amazing.
I’m aware. This plus the carbon footprint is why I’m not a fan of using concrete for new buildings if alternative materials like CLT can be used.
Specifically in the context of concrete, we’re running out of ocean and beach sand. People think “well there’s way more desert sand than beach sand, why don’t we just use that?” But apparently desert sand isn’t suitable for concrete production at all.
