It looks like a lightly disguised parked Bolo.

You are thinking wrong. I know pretty sure what the meaning of Brutalism is and it does not have anything to do with brutality. I know because Ive read thick books about architecture. “The Modulor” for example, written by one of the fathers of Brutalism.

No. Brutalism wasn’t even invented in the 30s and 40s. More important: pretty much all of the moumental Nazi buildings had just ordinary brick walls, the granite or sometimes field stones was just stuck to the facade to make them look like solid stone buildings. Brutalism, however, depends on concrete,

If @ax11’s reply was to me, I didn’t claim that was an example of Brutalism. I suggested it as a model for the sort of structure Trump wants.
@anon61221983, sorry that you got caught up in the confusion.

Try looking up the actual word in a dictionary instead of only confirming your biases.
He started going on about nazi architecture, so I can only assume. I literally made no comments about nazi buildings, and only appreciated the brutalist building that @anon50609448 posted.
It’s not your fault, though. And I think I got what you were trying to say with that.
But hey, let’s not let that stop him from mansplaining architecture to me… there’s a rightful order to things, ya know! /s
