I get that I'm a minority in this case as well but; to me they're also legitimately beautiful. They were my introduction to Brutalism and it has since become my favorite architectural style... actually took me a while to realize what made them so aesthetically great to me. It's that you can see the planning that went into them. It's not just the one building but a whole 'landscape' of practical design.

I wish I had the opportunity to live in one but to the best of my knowledge they were never built in the country I live in.
