Brutalism like that first picture is good! Air and light, just efficient and using preformed structure arranged to please vs complex material adornment.

Miserable shit like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/UTS_Tower-Left_side_view.jpg/960px-UTS_Tower-Left_side_view.jpg can go to hell though.

hmm... lots of space to paint murals though... just... somebody would actually need to do it.

Well, in many ways, brutalism never left, sir. It's always offered the same high-quality buildings at aesthetically pleasing designs.

Dune movies may have contributed. Or maybe the return of Dune to cinemas is simply another part of the new zeitgeist "yearning for the tangible and the material" as this writer puts it.
