Brutalist Meme Explanation

A movement that started as a joke, Brutalism is now a serious architectural style that will make you question everything.

Origins

It's said that the first Brutalist building was built by a time-traveling, architecture-hating, punk rock star who was fed up with the pretentiousness of modern architecture. He built it out of rage, using only raw concrete and a sense of rebellion.

Today, we celebrate that spirit of rebellion and the freedom to build without a budget (or a soul).
