I was summoned for jury duty and all I got was this pretty photograph.
Brutalist architecture is beautiful in its own way
I wasn't sure if it counted, but I am a brutalism enjoyer as well.
I hqve noticed that judicial buildings a seem to be built to be imposing, as if to imply we rule you petty serfs
Yeah I think that is marble.
It makes me feel like I'm walking into the Oldest House from Control.
That game was a love letter to brutalism and bureaucracy
At least prisoners can't jump the windows
I'm 99% sure there's security reasons for this design
Looks like you got summoned to the prison for jury duty.
When I was a kid I used to drive by the Pirelli building all the time and dreading that I might have to go to work in a big, beige building like that one day. I never liked buildings like that until somehow it just clicked for me in my late twenties. Now I think brutalism and similar styles are wonderful.
Anyway, maybe I'm just a weirdo, but it was actually surprisingly pleasant in there: clean and calm with friendly, easy going staff. I kind of regret getting excused a little bit.
You'll love the AT&T Long Lines Building in NYC then.
Oh. You like brutalism.
Well look where I went to school.
A lot of US Courthouses are physically connected to the Jailhouse and PD, I assume it's the same for other nations but idk.
Why does this building have arrowloops? Are they expecting a siege?
Nvm, after 1/6/20 I suppose every legal institution should always expect violent insurrection.
1/6/21
Oops, thanks for the correction!
Thank you for reminding me what those were called!
How dare you enjoy brutalism, don't you know that's a crime?
