A small cinder block shack isn't very functional, so not brutalist. A brick victorian is intentionally ornate (it exposes the brick as part of its aesthetic, not because of a reluctance to decorate) ergo it isn't brutalist.



Why isn't a cinder block shack functional?


I think the sentence was saying that a brick isn't Victorian, not that a brick Victorian isn't brutalist.
