What Is Brutalism?
Brutalism is a style of architecture that lasted from the 1950s-1970s, and it was characterized by simple, block-like, hulking concrete structures. It originated in England and spread to the rest of the world shortly after.
The term Brutalism—coined by Swedish architect Hans Asplund as "nybrutalism" and popularized by British architectural critic Reyner Banham in 1955—is not a reference to the arguably brutal nature of its appearance but a play on the French phrase for raw concrete, "béton brut." [THEY FOUND THE WORD FIRST, THE EXCUSE LATER, ME THINKS]
Emerging from the modernist movement of the late 19th century to mid 20th century, Brutalist architecture was born in the 1950s. Celebrated modernist architect Le Corbusier’s iconic Cité Radieuse in Marseille, France—a post-war working class housing unit for 1,600 people that is part of his Unité d'Habitation social housing project—is thought to be the building that inspired the Brutalist movement. Completed in 1952, it had a massive unadorned reinforced concrete frame filled with modular apartment units that was a model for post-war societies looking to replenish housing stock for the masses.
Brutalism spread throughout Europe, the Soviet Union and to the U.S. (and around the world to countries such as Israel, Japan and Brazil). Brutalist architecture became a popular if perennially controversial choice for institutional buildings such as NYC’s One Police Plaza (1973) and Boston City Hall (1968) as well as university libraries, car parks, churches, shopping centers, high-rise social housing blocks like the Orgues de Flandre in Paris and cultural complexes like the Hayward Gallery (1968) and National Theatre (1976) on London’s South Bank.
Brutalism began to fade out in the 1980s, where it increasingly came to be regarded as cold, alienating and unfit for humans. It turned out that concrete had an allure of indestructibility but deteriorated from the inside, making it difficult to maintain and prone to crumbling and water damage as it aged. Brutalist buildings were neglected and covered in graffiti, symbolizing urban decay. The embrace of Brutalist architecture in the Soviet Union meant that the style also began to suffer from its association with totalitarianism.

The COP27 GREEN Religion, it's worship of the SUN and MOON. And of course the DEATH STAR.

Re: Remember YELLOW & BLUE
OH FANTASTIC RACHEL
and whatever egypt is , it has pyramids they made sure everyone knew about orions belt lining up ,and the psillyness of the navigational coordinates matching the speed of light does indicate firing of said deathstar,,,,plus the names are close
this is interesting is the eye of Taurus? a bullseye
Aldebaran, not alderaan destroyed by your pretty deaths star ,in star wars bullseye !! ,and it looks an awful lot like hal 900 .from a distance,thats from that film 2001 a space odyssey , wink but an artists impression helps Taurus, the bull, is marked by a V-shaped pattern of stars that outlines the bull's face. Bright red Aldebaran, the "eye" of the bull, stands at one point of the V. This pattern is part of a cluster of stars called the Hyades — the second-closest star cluster to Earth.

I always thought it was brutal - did not know it was so aptly described.
