Case Study House #22 in Los Angeles, aka the Stahl House is wildly impractical but is impressive as all heck much like Falling Water: Strangely, the bathroom was really, really tacky. Straight from the 70s and gross and cheap-looking. It's pretty lol compared to the rest of the place.

nomadologique posted:why is it wildly impractical? in addition to what's already been mentioned it's extremely cold when it gets cold and gets extremely hot when it gets hot. The building is an L-shape so the other part of the L that faces south is all glass-faced as well but it has curtains (a modification on the original design to due someone with some sense about comfort and privacy at the time). The neighbors house to the east sits down about 25 feet in elevation and this was deemed sufficiently invasive that, as a compromise, the original owners bought the neighboring house as well. all the case study houses have aspects that are not very practical and a lot of other elements that are pretty forward-thinking. they used off-the-shelf materials to make otherworldly designs by some of the best designers and architects of the 20th century.

seriouspost: if you love brutalism, have you actually lived amongst it? i grew up around that poo poo and it is the antithesis of joy and corrosive to the human soul. it's the kind of thing that you would line up your leaders against and have them shot in the back of the head. human bloodstain silhouettes would make a lot of sense on the sides of brutalist buildings.
