A great example of Brutalist architecture, it divides opinion sharply [OC]

No worries!

Yes, it was a half-baked joke at best, but at least I didn't exhale?

brutalism was actually a monumentally optimistic vision of the future

it has the monumental size and far too large unwelcoming open spaces but yeah it could be uglier

Thank you for the summary of the preceding comment, citizen. Your veracity has been noted. Carry on.

High praise, anon. You're battin' a thousand.

In typical brutalist fashion, there appears to be very little natural lighting on the upper floors.

Brutalist architecture follows function through form about as well as modern big box warehouses. Slather a bunch of concrete or other rock together, make sure it’s dimly lit with recessed or tiny windows, then make sure none of these windows open to let in fresh air.
Remember how prior to 1970 you had these cool grocery stores with curved rooflines and all glass fronts? Now you have square boxes with flat rooflines that leak, stained drop ceilings, and garish fluorescent lighting. Same concept.

It annoys me that they didn't build this right by the train station. Instead it's likely literally at the other end of town.
