I've been fascinated with brutalist architecture for a while. I don't exactly know why, maybe because these buildings just invoke some eerie feelings inside me that i cannot really explain. Or maybe i'm just weird :D 

Brutalist architecture flourished from the 1950s to the mid-1970s, descending from the modernist architectural movement of the early 20th century. The term originates from the French word for "raw", as Le Corbusier described his choice of material béton brut, meaning raw concrete in French.

Here are some pictures of brutalist architecture around the world.
