I don't know why but for some reason whenever brutalist buildings are surrounded by greenery or are overgrown it just clicks with me.

honesly most styles of architecture would be so, so much better if they incorporated more greenery. it makes so much of a difference on the mood and health of the people. humans are used to being surround by plants and landscape, not concrete and glass.

I enjoy the visibly weathered, simple design of frontier town architecture. Imo, it's due for some post-modernist revival.

Brutalism was influenced by the politically-charged, civil unrest of urbanite youth living during America and Europe's 60s and 70s. The architecture is made out of concrete because it's hard asf to break. They likely had visions of dystopia in their mind when they drew up the blue-prints for the building in your pic.
