And they should be made prettier too. We shouldn’t accept horrifically ugly building just because there are even uglier ones.

Agree to disagree I guess.
There’s just so many sharp angles and it looks so unwelcoming.

It looks nicer on that side. The side getting off from Government Center isn't as nice.

Brutalism is the most imaginative in a case of mild decay

Literally the 6th image when you Google "brutalism".

It basically refers to all those soulless 5 story condo buildings that are going up literally everywhere. The boxy gentrified-looking ones.

It's crazy that we legitimately have one of the sickest buildings on the entire planet, and somehow most of the dweebs here complain that it's "ugly" because it isn't either a steel and glass gentrification box, or a "historic" brick thing.

That 5&1 design is so easy, cheap, and is gonna age terribly. Just part of the race to the bottom for developers.
