Oh, dear.

And that's definitely an oxymoron if I've ever seen one. To be fair, I don't absolutely detest all Brutalist work...but it's never been my personal favorite.

I’m just imagining all of the Asperger writers going into detailed descriptions of his casket - rectilinear form on form, boxed within box, looking inward, a solitary room without a view.

The pilgrimage church would look nice if it were overgrown with ivy.

I like some of it very much. The best of it looks ancient, historic. Something from an advanced lost society that existed centuries ago.
