The Neo-Brutalist Manifesto: A Treatise on Unapologetic Simplicity

We are the champions of the plain.
In a world of overwrought ornamentation and saccharine sentimentality, we reject the tyranny of subtlety and nuance.

The Tenets of Neo-Brutalism

• 1. We eschew the soft focus of compromise and opt for the clarity of the hammer.
• 2. We reject the frippery of ornament and the blandishments of frieze.
• 3. We hold the unadulterated truth as sacrosanct, even if it's ugly and unpleasant.
• 4. We scorn the blandishments of 'beauty' and 'aesthetics' as mere distractions from the task at hand.
• 5. We believe the only true beauty is that which is functional and unadulterated.
