I unironically love this building. It's brutalist, but with flair; most (not all, but most) brutalist architecture is also minimalist, which I find depressing. This is brutalist but absolutely not minimalist; it's almost whimsical. I respect and applaud the architect for the wacky combination.
I wonder if it's technically Bauhaus; I'd expect more glass and less concrete.
Is there an architect in the audience?
I like it quite a lot actually, bit yeah I feel it for our fellow tradies

Wouldn't that be an exciting project to work on? Maybe it's different for blue collar folks; I've always valued projects that weren't the same thing I've done a million times before.
on top of that, you can charge as much as you want
It can't be brutalist, it isn't ugly and boring
/s, but not really
there are quite a lot of interesting brutalist buildings in the Netherlands. Betonbuurt in Amsterdam and Apenrots in The Hague come to mind
