Many buildings are built in the style of brutalism, but only one can be the brutalist.

@LilahTovMoon Every time I'm in Gov't Center my senses get brutally assaulted by that structure. I wonder if anyone's done a documentary on the decisions that led to this monstrosity.

@LilahTovMoon I can never see a picture of Boston City Hall and not mistake it for my uni's Math and Computer building (one is clearly an evil twin πŸ˜‚)

@LilahTovMoon Now I miss seeing the former Armstrong Rubber Company building in New Haven, Connecticut, which is apparently a hotel. ;_;

Wide shot of said building, architected in a brutalist style, with each face having windows inset into the concrete

@LilahTovMoon I'm sorry for the following terrible joke.

A screen cap of Nathan Explosion from the cartoon series Metalocalypse. He's a white man with long black hair, with an approving, if fierce expression. He's saying "Brutal."
