It's an offshoot of mcmansionhell.com, where a snarky mayo foid critiques bad suburban architecture.
It's funnier when she does it though, because she knows architectural terms and also doesn't use too many words. I wouldn't have such a positive view of Kate Wagner except I really love brutalist architecture, and she does too.

Anybody who unironically likes brutalist architecture is not allowed to have opinions on architecture.

If you have to ask why you are also not allowed to have opinions on architecture.
Um, who hurt you sweaty? If you don't like le heckin' bare concrete and hard edges that make buildings look like cheap dystopian sci fi film sets you're just an uneducated chud
Joining the pretentious circlejerk that is contemporary architecture's love for brutalism is a quintessential redditism. They want to be out of touch with normal people because it makes them feel special and sophisticated, and every time it's brought up you'll find some tool going 'Actually, I like brutalism because...' followed by unbearable babble.
I'll give it to you that you at least realise it's terrible and like it for that reason. Regardless, it's too late, I already portrayed you as the soyjak.
I didn't realize it was in vogue, though that makes sense. Both for pretension and probably nostalgia? Lots of brutalist stuff in 1984 and Blade Runner.

Whole truth, total moral goodness, but don't forget the power to act on them.

Brutalism is based because it flaunts to the poors just how much you don't give a shit about them.
Good brutalist architecture isn't just a box. To my taste, it should be something huge and concrete that makes you feel like it actively hates you and wants you dead. Which I love, because I think that's exactly the vibe government buildings should give. There's an honesty about a building that houses people who hate you looking like it's a building that hates you.
Same goes for a good brutalist tenement. It shouldn't just be depressing, it should be visually oppressive. When you stand at the foot of the structure you should be able to easily imagine a sound-proofed room with no windows at its center where they torture children "for the good of mankind" like in the Le Guin story.
Anyway that's why I like it. I know the root of the name "brutalism" doesn't have to do with "brutality" but I really feel like the ideas are inexorably linked now. It should be awe inspiring in the way that a Godzilla would be awe inspiring.

Brutalist architecture solved the architect problem so I can see why you'd be upset.

Why are you acting like it's a normal redditor opinion to like brutalism? Basically everyone hates it, except me and architecture mommy.

Because it is a normal Redditor opinion lmao. Talk shit about it and thereβs a greater chance of being piled than with people agreeing.

These are cool (except for the first result), but isn't brutalist mostly rectangular government buildings and tenements? Just boring cement boxes.

brutalist architecture was literally created to build cheap, afordable housing
even if you like the style, saying you like the architecture is disgusting
poor "people" should be mass killed
