I'm probably as big a fan of brutalism as anyone on this site. And even I don't want to just replicate the brutalism of the 20th century. I want an innovative brutalism that in particular can incorporate energy efficiency and more modern architectural knowledge.
I like the style, but I think the critique of it taking/releasing/costing way too much co2 is pretty valid, unfortunately.
I'm more into wooden construction these days
Wooden construction is the fucking bomb. Why not be a carbon sink instead of a massive carbon producer? And you save beaches, too.
Wooden passive housing is pretty rad. Still want to preserve and renovate the Brutalist housing that already exists though.
Yes, there's no reason to tear down the Brutalist stuff that already exists (specific buildings might have a good reason but not the style generally).
That's a fairly cool looking building, but most brutalism is ugly, don't @ me, bring back Art Deco
Bring back Art Nouveau, screw any industrial style, bring back craftsmen who'll do unique art pieces for everyone.
Art Nouveau is very cool, but had such little lasting impact on architecture
