Anon's brother hates concrete
(sh.itjust.works)
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
I think you may be confusing functionalism with brutalism. In the UK, these two styles were combined but that isn't necessarily true. Brutalist buildings can very much eschew function in order to be more imposing, memorable or unusual.
Functionalism is the style that is all about minimizing the resources used to get the most useful building you possibly can.
Yeah, I know there's impractical brutalist buildings, but those are the big expensive projects, right? The cheap ones are practical as far as I knew
Yes, any architectural style can be practical, I'm just saying that the style you're actually advocating for is functionalism. I'd recommend doing some reading about it. I think you'd be a fan, considering you already seem to be in favour of all its core precepts.
