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.
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.

Is there an architect in the audience?

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
