This one built by Calvin Seibert

@postfilm makes me think of the Barbican in London

@postfilm Is it the size or building material that makes this architectural style look beautiful in the picture?

Imagine standing in front of a concrete building like this. It would depress you.

@Stefan_S_from_H I prefer buildings with windows (unless it's a library or an archive)
@postfilm Well, I'm a software developer with vitamin D pills. 😏
@Stefan_S_from_H It's a brutalist building. It's purpose is to look dystopic and it's supposed to look depressive.
@postfilm era pra ser só uma brincadeira na praia e o cara fez logo um castelo pra Daenerys Targaryen

@postfilm

That sooooo does it.

My next band name is Brutalist Sandcastle.

Prog rock? Of course, why do you ask?

@postfilm that is brilliant. The thought and work that goes into these sandcastles take them far away from beach play and into the arena of art.
@postfilm That is a really cool castle! Were the contestants allowed to use any material besides sand and water, such as supporting structures or posts etc?
@postfilm That's awesome. Thumbs up.
@postfilm I can’t beat that one. Heck, I am not even near a beach. This is amazing.
@postfilm Isn't any sand castle by definition brutalist? ;-)
@postfilm Brutalism in sand castle form is something that I didn't know existed. And yeah, I'm a brutalist architecture fan.
@postfilm Holy shit this is awesome 😲
@postfilm This is gorgeous! @Carole29
@LDJ @postfilm I saw this on FB earlier today, it's brilliant isn't it?
@Carole29 @postfilm I’m not sure I have the patience but I’d love to do something like that!
@postfilm brutalist architecture works better when built from sand because its shelf life is so much shorter

@postfilm

Fabulous and I dislike brutalism intensely

@postfilm I would happily live in this if it had an inhabitable interior and I was the size of a troll doll or a G.I. Joe.

@postfilm

How come #ArtDeco never seems to get the love #Brutalism does?

Art Deco was beautiful.

@FatherEnoch @postfilm very hard to make those tiny panes of glass for the sand windows...
@postfilm Seibert really needs to find a serious photographer to collaborate with.
@postfilm at first I asked myself if this truly counts as Brutalism, but when I counted the windows and only found 1, I said, "yes, this is Brutalism."
@postfilm Looks like it was designed by Louis Kahn 👍
@postfilm that's cool and awesome work!

@postfilm

J’adore !

(on dirait chez moi !)

(Je vis dans un immeuble brutaliste)

@postfilm 😍 that's a huge inspiration for my beach holiday next week
@postfilm @ohchristwhatnow this might be relevant to your interests, there's also a BRUTALIST hashtag
