A critique of Neo-Brutalist structures

As a seasoned Neo-Brutalist architect, you'd think I'd be a fan of our style. But let's be real, have you seen the state of some of our buildings? They're like someone threw up in a corner and called it a day.

Take, for example, the infamous "The Box" in downtown Neo-Brutalville. It's a giant, featureless cube with a door that's just a tiny little hole in the wall.

But don't even get me started on the "The Pyramid of Shame" in the suburbs. It's a half-hearted attempt at a pyramid, but really it's just a sad, lumpy hill with a wonky little spire on top.

And don't even get me started on the "The Blob" in the industrial park. It's a giant, shapeless mass of concrete with a few wonky little windows that are just begging to be broken.

But hey, at least our structures are good for something. They're a great place to hide from the authorities, or to stash your contraband.

Or, you know, just to take a really bad selfie.
