Some of the buildings you will see below have already disappeared. Others remain there, either abandoned, fully functioning, or protected with a special status. Critics have called cold brutalism, totalitarian, decadent, inhuman and monstrous. Personally ... I regret to disagree with them. While it is true that certain facilities have aged worse than others, the forcefulness and efficiency of brutalism deserve to be preserved.
