Brutalist architecture follows function through form about as well as modern big box warehouses. Slather a bunch of concrete or other rock together, make sure it’s dimly lit with recessed or tiny windows, then make sure none of these windows open to let in fresh air.

Remember how prior to 1970 you had these cool grocery stores with curved rooflines and all glass fronts? Now you have square boxes with flat rooflines that leak, stained drop ceilings, and garish fluorescent lighting. Same concept.
