My city is full of buildings that were vanguard architecture in the 70s and 80s but now are all dishoveled and derelict with run down facades. Cuba has the same vibe but for the 50s. Is like living in the post-apocalipse, the future was yesterday, there's no utopia, ruins is what remainsI like the gritty industrialism look of Quake too, but what I like even more is gritty abandoned brutalist architecture. I find brutalism repulsive and never want to live anywhere near it, but in games and for urbex I really like it. It's fascinating because it almost looks alien in its inhuman design. I live in Europe and have some ex-Soviet areas not far from me, so there's lots of abandoned old brutalist buildings I can go explore.
It's ugly as fuck, but it's a strong aesthetic. It gives me a weird melancholic feeling when I explore such spaces. Don't know why.
