I actually just tried looking that up, to see if such a word actually exists in English. I found a stack exchange thread asking this same question but no one had a suitable answer. So, yeah, I guess it’s up to you to contribute to society by inventing and popularizing this new word. Enjoy your new destiny.
I’ve been looking for a reason why I find them unpleasant and you found it for me. They look like the decaying Nazi bunkers I got to explore on a Danish beach when I was a kid.
Though I also don’t like massive towers of glass. Or rowhomes. Or really cities in general. Give me a nice cave in a swamp any day.
I was watching this and thinking, almost. How did a country start building like this, for the people and then stop. Then it is all apparent, the Witch got in power.
It appears the growth of these “for the benefit of people” views were replaced with the old ages of the greatest and silent generation, and replaced with the “me, me, me. My money” of the boomer generation.
I can’t help but thinking how things could have been different if we continued on from the old timers. I know ww2 destroyed an economy that was lucky to survive it, that’s in itself is also an interesting thing to think how the world would have been without it.
To be fair, brutalist buildings are fugly
I dunno, I think they’re kinda … neat, I guess? Like, yeah, they’re technically pretty ugly, but somehow in a way that makes them interesting.
Trying…and failing, to think of a good portmanteau of interesting and ugly.
Edit: intugly? Ugteresting?
“Striking” is usually the word. It can be used for bad looks as well as good.
Well, as with all my attempts to shine…this has crashed and burned. And not even gloriously…
Hey, there’s no reason to not come up with new words. You could bring the world the next ‘yeet’ or ‘bussy’.
Just imagine the possibilities!
Naw…my heart’s not in it any more…

I guess this is technically the opposite of what you are trying to convey, but your comment reminded me of a song I haven’t thought about in a decade

I like it.
These look like defensive structures from a war movie with some plants on them

This reminds me of a very short but very good documentary

Not British and haven’t watched the video you linked, so I’m guessing… Thatcher?
Yea. He didn’t actually mention her just said the conservatives got in power and sold the country.
I like them…
It’s the perfect architecture for any of the non-squishy government organizations like the FBI or the Department of Urban Works.
You, oh lowly peasant should be intimidated in the halls of governance, for you don’t belong here.
Idk man, they’ve kind of grown on me
