The name Brutalism -- from the French béton brut, the raw concrete used by Le Corbusier and favored by modernists -- is more commonly used today as a term of opprobrium by a public that profoundly dislikes the style's rough textures and powerful forms. You don't say. Le Corbusier sucks, big time.

Agreed. No idea why all the moderns think he was any good. What is this? A church or a fokken squid?

Typical Le Corbusier parking garage. Pepe ululates.

Ok - I'll agree with you but is this worse than the ubiquitous standard american shopping mall design ? A least, LC's junk is confined to a finite number of places.

Sorry, the Church of our Sacred Squid of Ronchumps is worse than a grey rectangle. At least the grey rectangle is rational.
