That sucks op. There's an old 16th century church here with what looks like Minecraft blocks stuck to it too.

I guess the old building didn't look enough like a 1970s UK government building so they had to hide it. London.jpg

That's in the modernist style, particularly the third image. It tapers to a point. It's not lovely low effort post modernist brutalism.

Brutalism goes from "owns" to "retard in Minecraft"

The shittiest brutalism by far is postmodernist.

Postmodernism in architecture sucks and that's what the OP hates. So do I. However, there's a ton of good contemporary architecture around.

Because good harmonious design takes talent.

Better to design something poo poo and just have everyone pretend.

one dude built a skyscraper that was slightly concave on one side and on bright days the windows would focus the sun and set cars on fire, that was pretty good

Ugh I see what they're trying to do with the first image in the thread. It's a perverted interpretation of modernism. How deep.

I guess the only interesting aspects of it fit neatly into a tweet which is all that matters.
