The Best Brutalist Buildings Around The World...
Brutalism gets crapped on pretty often as terrible architecture that should be torn down immeadiately (even moreso than Meisian modernism) but I think that thought process is premature in many respects. Brutalist buildings are imposing and help bring an institutional feel to buildings. So, in order to show some love, I'd like people to post thier favorite examples of Brutalist architecture. Mine is the Schmitt Academic Center at DePaul University in Chicago. The Proportions and size of this building is perfect and it's a perfect testament to the Brutalist style.
Heres a render.  Heres it in conjunction with the library. image hosted on flickr  Here it is in relation with the rest of campus on the southeast side of the main quad.

For me, the brutalism looks boring when the concrete is hard, heavy, flat; but, when you see designs with concrete fluid, dancing on movement, is when the brutalism turns on epic buldings, interseting for the common people.

Here's some intriguing brutalist buildings from Australia (we don't really have all that many - I don't think)

No offense, but that's all for demolition, without exception, but on the other hand is nothing what paint bucket would not improve
