I know I’m in a minority, but I have had a long interest and affinity with brutalism since performing in school musicals at QPAC in Brisbane Australia. It’s a version of brutalism I think has been softened a bit to make it more appealing to the general population. At the time it was built I believe it was received with negativity, but now Queenslanders love the Southbank precinct.

The whole precinct is great from the GOMA, State Library and Museum to QPAC.

The only letdown is maybe The Edge which is a bit on the boring side.

As a thought: If you take the white tiles off the Sydney Opera House what do you have?
