that's my point. brutalism is ugly. concrete without ornamentation is ugly. but concrete can look beautiful with ornamentation.
it's not the concrete that makes brutalism ugly, but the lack of ornamentation.
i didn't mean that the article should showcase brutalist examples, but where it talks about more modern architecture using less and less ornamentation, brutalism is the worst outgrowth of that, so i thought it would make sense to at least mention that.
