Brutalism.

A look into Architecture’s most divisive style. To some, a source of beauty; to others, everything wrong with modern architectural movements. The truth, however, lies somewhere between.

Corrections:
Talnakh is located in Russia, not Serbia. (Credit to Patrola Snova for catching this)

Fun Facts:
-Despite the similarities, Louis Kahn disliked his work being called brutalist, likely due to ideological differences and a desire to distance his work from stigma.
-While Brutalism and Soviet architecture developed separately initially, cross-contamination occurred as brutalism's socialist ideas became more popular.
-Other movies depicting Brutalist buildings include: A Clockwork Orange (1971), High Rise (2015), 1984 (1984), and Dr. Strangelove (1964)
