      Maybe if they had maintained them. But I think buildings like that start to look rundown very easily. Says I.

        agree completely – but they just needed to be cleaned once in a while

        not sure if it was brutalist but canada house on earlsfort terrace (?) was a really nice building. demolishing that was a crime.

      Will take a look, thanks! I’m 100% ignorant about brutalism: I just like looking at them.
