I actually really like brutalist architecture.

Was visiting colleges with my dad, and at UMass Amherst I commented that I liked the architecture, and he said, "What are you, a communist?!" jokingly.

That was my first exposure to the meaning and history of brutalist architecture.

Isn't UMass Dartmouth the brutalist one?

The student center and the Fine Arts buildings are both Brutalist. Amherst has a more diverse set of styles than Dartmouth does.

Visited friends down at UMassDartmouth, or whatever it's called now, maybe mid '70's. All concrete construction, I was amazed. Can't imagine what it looks like now
