If those were in Vancouver it’d be like a trillion dollars worth of real estate, probably in better shape than a ton of million dollar homes.
Brutalist prefabs like that are actually found all over Western Europe as well. It wouldn’t surprise me if somebody in the comments would go “that pic is Paris, that one is from Cologne, that one is from London” etc., i’ve seen nearly identical buildings in all of these cities. Not only that, this style of architecture was originally developed by architects from France, from Switzerland, from the UK, from Germany. When Stalin planned entire cities from scratch while building up a new industrial base behind the Ural mountains, the project also involved city planners from Weimar Germany.
I think the only ideology that was really outspoken against any modern architecture were the nazis :curious-marx:
