I would only admit to liking brutalism under certain conditions… like that Bond scene where Daniel Craig is siting naked in a wicker chair for example, but hats off to @AntonioL !

Like with most things there is good and bad.

The Harry Ransom Center in Austin. It houses the world’s first photograph, a copy of the Magna Carte, and several other things in its collection.

Habitat 67 by Safdie in Montreal may be the best Brutalist building ever.

As far as I know, it is not a YIMBY-affiliated site. I found a contact email run by someone named “Josh”.

If I recall correctly there was a huge fuss over adding an addition to this building.

There is something very Longhorn about that one.

I’m not sure. But this is a case of how a concrete, Brutal building actually makes practical sense. There are priceless works of art and documents in that building. Concrete doesn’t burn.
