I think I do. I clicked on that wikipedia link, and remembered that buidling on the first picture from The Departed.

i like it in a way. i enjoyed looking at the links. i hate the cold empty, ice-storm feeling of being in spaces like that. i like learning about architecture. thanks for making my brain work on something other than hotel contracts at 9:51 am.

I really like Le Corbusier's work and I'm a fan of modernism. I think Brutalist architecture can look great. But if there is too much of it clustered together, it looks really dated. In moderation, thumbs up.

When it's great, it's great. Like most of the tropically-set structures in Brazil. But it can definitely be done badly. Like all of the administrative district.
