RE: Brutalist Architecture isn't cold, harsh and abstract.

Hello @juecoree I greet you from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. A few days ago I was walking, together with my wife, through Caracas and I was able to observe several brutalist structures, I became interested and wanted to investigate more about the term and I tried to publish something similar to what you excellently present us in this publication. Here was a time when this concept of construction prevailed, in the 1950s President General Marcos Pérez Jiménez ordered the construction of many buildings in clean or gray work, as it is originally known here in Venezuela. The cold presence of concrete can also be seen in the following decades by the resistance of the materials. I liked your post. Receive a big hug full of positive energy and lots of light.

Hola @juecoree Te saludo desde la República Bolivariana de Venezuela. Hace unos días estaba caminando, junto a mi esposa, por Caracas y pude observar varias estructuras brutalistas, yo me interesé y quise investigar mas sobre el término e intenté publicar algo similar a lo que excelentemente tu nos presentas en esta publicación. Aquí hubo una época donde prevaleció este concepto de construcción, en la década de los años 50 el Presidente General Marcos Pérez Jiménez mandó a construir muchas edificaciones en obra limpia o gris, como originalmente se le conoce aquí en Venezuela. La presencia fría del hormigón también se puede ver en décadas siguiente por la resistencia de los materiales. Me gustó tu publicación. Recibe un fuerte abrazo lleno de energía positiva y mucha luz.

Thank you for sharing your experience with brutalist architecture, @marcosmilano71! Here in the Philippines, most of the brutalist architecture was erected during the reign of President Ferdinand Marcos. As I have mentioned in the post, brutalist was not enjoyed but most because of its rawness and cold façade, but I can say these design movement standout despite it criticism.

You should publish one. I would love to read it.

By the way, I appreciate the kind words. !PIZZA
