Saw your post defending Brutalism in there and if as the presenter says Brutalism is a representation of a more 'egalitarian' and 'democratic' society then is there any better argument against those two ideas than the buildings presented?

I find all architecture fascinating, each style and structure with pros and cons. It happened to be an educational interesting video. I'm not saying I like Brutalism, but I can appreciate and understand the qualities that define it, and just because I post something doesn't mean I necessarily agree with it. You'll see more of the stuff I'm interested in by the numbers of similar content in /s/Architecture though I try not to be too redundant.

I wasn't having a pop at you for posting it I genuinely mean that if Brutalism is indeed egalitarian and democratic ideals come to life in horrid concrete, steel and glass then you have to question the merit of those two ideas.

Agreed - even if they dress it up in eco-friendly sustainabilty and community spaces: Vancouver Convention Centre
