I wonder if their point on architecture is a criticism on brutalism or on the "sameness" of buildings. Apartment complexes definitely follow a cookie-cutter template in US cities.
Maybe it's the novelty of it, but only a few buildings in the US have given me the same awe as brutalist architecture in former Soviet nations.
There's definitely a repetitive pattern to these buildings, but there's also something so captivating about those concrete slabs and jagged edges.
