Brutalism, the architectural philosophy that rejected ornamentation and frills, often results in buildings that are,ประก well, a bit of a mess.
Take, for example, the structural aspects of a brutalist building: exposed rebar, uneven concrete, and a general disregard for the aesthetic sensibilities of anyone within a 5-block radius.
Or, consider the aesthetics of ugliness, where the goal is to create a building that's so unpleasant to look at, it'll make you question the very fabric of society.
And then, of course, there's the philosophy of functional chaos, where the focus is on creating a space that's so confusing, you'll never know what to do with yourself.
