Any architecture enthusiasts?

Its not brutalist, indeed.

This is brutalist:



It looks like it will transform into some kind of huge robot in a minute.

This reminds me of the computer game My House is Bigger Than Your House. You can build some really bizarre stuff with that.

Looks like a real challenge after an all-nighter.

I love Oscar Niemeyer work. As a brazilian, our archtecture was heavily influenced by him. Here are some of his projects I like:

Brazilian National Congress, Brasilia, Brazil:


Cathedral of Brasilia, Brasilia:


Administrative town, Minas Gerais state administrative building, Belo Horizonte, Brazil:



Oscar Niemeyer Museum, Curitiba, Brazil:


Museum of Contemporary Art, Brazil:


Oscar Niemeyer International Cultural Centre, Avilés, Asturias, Spain:


Communist Party Headquarters, Paris, France:


There are other buildings designed by him...

True! He has a long list of buildings, mainly composed of: political builidings, religious buildings and museums.

Forma, I dunno if that qualifies as "brutalist", I think it's really just modernist. After all, isn't brutalism usually characterized by excessive concrete and soul-crippling depression?

I didn't claim any of them were "brutalist". I stated that I found that house while posting examples of what I thought was good modern architecture in that thread.

I like the whole complex for its huge size symmetry.

If you should be into cathedrals I can recommend visiting Andalusia. There is at least one in every bigger city. Seeing Alhambra is also a must.

That's true for most if not all of Spain
