Hard disagree. This is what brutalism looks like in sunny, subtropical Brisbane, Australia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:QPAC_Exterior.jpg
If the straight concrete isn’t your thing, they’re also currently extending it with a glasshouse: https://www.snohetta.com/projects/queensland-performing-arts...
Eh... The concrete looks to me like a bland imitation of Spanish Adobe style building.
It's better than most of the brutalism we have around here, I'll grant you that, but still not really my cup of tea.
Wow that is already ugly without the water stains
I don't hate brutalism but I'd much rather have the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Exhibition_Building than QPAC, rain or shine.
I think both look ugly and megalomaniac.
Looks even worse in the sun. At least it belongs in the depressing, shitty weather.
What's depressing and shitty about Brisbane's weather?
Predicated 90% humidity at 3am this evening does not fill me with a great amount of joy.
I think the above commenter may be referring to the rather more unfortunate UK climate though.
