I know I’m in a minority, but I have had a long interest and affinity with brutalism since performing in school musicals at QPAC in Brisbane Australia. It’s a version of brutalism I think has been softened a bit to make it more appealing to the general population. At the time it was built I believe it was received with negativity, but now Queenslanders love the Southbank precinct.
