    Since this is the closest thing I’ve seen to an architecture discussion on Lemmy, can I sidetrack this conversation?

    I really want to talk about how I simultaneously love the Obamas and hate a lot of their style choices. The Brutalism of his new presidential library is… Imposing and unwelcoming.

        I love brutalism. I’m also not a fan of the design of the library.

        Brutalism kind of requires an environment. But it’s like a jagged tooth sticking out of a garden. Like a giant lawn rock. Lift it up and you’ll find the keys to the American dream. Locked away like some davinci code nonsense.
