The Brutalism Post, Part One: Introduction

This is part one of a five-part post about Brutalism. University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth campus by Paul Rudolph. Photo via Library of Congress No style of architecture so passionately divides even the most good-natured and level-headed people as Brutalism. The discourse surrounding Brutalism being "good" or "bad" is fierce and polemical.

I wonder now if the department store in my hometown of Oradea, Romania is partly in the Brutalist style. It's a well-known local landmark and I associate it with a lot of happy childhood memories, like learning to ride the escalator for the first time. I love it and it feels like home to me but maybe it looks foreboding to strangers: https://images.app.goo.gl/xm3QsUryiRrZLrhh8

The University of East Anglia in my hometown Norwich, in the UK, is a great example. It has parts that work and parts that don't, but it's certainly striking.
