A New Exhibit Asks You to Reconsider How Much You Hate Brutalism - Washingtonianwww.washingtonian.com "Capital Brutalism" at the National Building Museum invites a fresh look at mid-20th-century DC architecture.

@9coacheswaiting.bsky.social road trip?

I’m in, do you get your own souvenir chunk of concrete with the price of the ticket???

I think they let you go at the Hoover building with a pickaxe whenever you want to.

I do not recommend this. There is an even-higher-than-normal-for-DC concentration of people with handguns in and around that building.

Just standing around waiting for disintegrating chunks to fall off is fine, though

Oh come on, hassling the feds is great fun!

Oh shit, do you guys need a roadie? I love Le Beton Brut.

@brutalismbot.com is a great follow!

I had to unfollow them because 80% of what they posted wasn't Brutalist, just buildings made of concrete. :(

Well, here’s my favorite (dearly departed) DC brutalist structure. It was always jarring coming up to it, even in a city full of brutalist masterpieces.

Here's Morrisset Library at U Ottawa. One of my favorites.

Chonky! I love it.

I’ve been considering going to Canberra for years to visit their brutalist bus shelters

I mean, I'd probably do other things in Canberra as well, but the brutalist bus stops would definitely be on the list.

It’s only beton brut if it comes from a specific region in France. In DC it’s just raw concrete.

There’s this silly abandoned brutalist Catholic momentary in Scotland that’s a designated historical landmark but because it is such shit they can’t get any suckers willing to renovate trash.

I am very familiar with st. Peters.

We have our tour guide!

You sonofa

Drinks at Free State, then yell at a tour guide? Sign me up.

Does anyone hate Brutalism as much as me? I doubt it.
