When I think of brutalism, I think of the Barbican Estate in London as a canonical example - there's a lot of concrete, but also a lot of windows (a whole lot more window area than you would find in other UK residential architecture).
And, it feels absolutely comfortable to be inside.
I value the experience of being inside the building, more than how it looks from the outside. As such, I find it hard to understand when people associate brutalism with ugliness.
