[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a design aesthetic issue as well. Depending on your sensibilities, the mid-century architectural aesthetic for public buildings is often described as "brutalism". Pretty sharp contrast to the types of art-deco buildings constructed earlier in the 20th Century.[/quote] Quibble - everyone calls it brutalism. Brutalism is from the French word "brut" or dry, for the concrete technology used - it is not a claim that the style is 'brutal' Note also bauhaus modernist buildings are NOT brutalist - brutalist is more 1960s and 1970s.
