"Ornate buildings aren't cost-effective."

"Some nice brutalist architecture then?"

"Also no."

We instead have something I like to call "Corpo-brutalism"

It's like Brutalism, but with random colorful rectangles

I’ll take some nice brutalist architecture.

It ain’t all bad.

Just … a lot of it.

Brutalist architecture can be nice if it's contrasting with some other architecture, if it's all brutalist it gets overwhelming pretty fast.

The problem is that cheap style-less architecture is often called brutalist architecture, because it sounds more sophisticated than "eh we were too cheap to make it look nice".
