Brutalism

[The Fomo]

I love brutalist buildings. It's one of my favorite architectural styles. I think a great feature to add to SimCity in the future would be more styles to choose from in the menu, and sorted by the actual style instead of the time period (modernist, post-modernist, neoclassical, etc.) Here's some examples of brutalist buildings:

33 Thomas Street, Manhattan



If you've ever seen this building while walking in Manhattan, you know the presence it has.

UMass Dartmouth


Brown University Sciences Library


Royal National Theatre, London


Freeway Park, Seattle


Robarts Library, Toronto


From Wikipedia:
Brutalist buildings usually are formed with striking repetitive angular geometries, and where concrete is used often revealing the texture of the wooden forms used for the in-situ casting. Although concrete is the material most widely associated with Brutalist architecture, not all Brutalist buildings are formed from concrete. Instead, a building may achieve its Brutalist quality through a rough, blocky appearance, and the expression of its structural materials, forms, and (in some cases) services on its exterior. For example, many of Alison and Peter Smithson's private houses are built from brick. Brutalist building materials also include brick, glass, steel, rough-hewn stone, and gabion (also known as trapion). Another common theme in Brutalist designs is the exposure of the building's functions—ranging from their structure and services to their human use—in the exterior of the building.

Some people hate it, but I think it would be great to build a city with nothing but brutalist buildings. See Wikipedia's list of brutalist structures for more examples.
