    i don’t understand

    is the implication that brutalism does take inspiration from random objects and people dislike it because of that?

      A lot of modern architects in the West hate Brutalism because “it’s boring”, “dystopian”, and insert generic “commies bad” remark. Ignoring that brutalist architecture arised in Socialist countries as a solution for quickly and efficiently building many homes to solve a housing crisis. They have similar views toward sustainable, “eco-minimalist” buildings because again, it lacks their precious ornamentation.

      Meanwhile, they design buildings that look like sandwiches and other insane things.

      You’ve made an enemy of every architecture forum user. There is nothing they hate more than Brutalism, with modern contemporary style at a close second, eco-minimalism at the third. “Hurr durr buildings that look similar is dystopian!”
