I was summoned for jury duty and all I got was this pretty photograph.

Looks like you got summoned to the prison for jury duty.
A lot of US Courthouses are physically connected to the Jailhouse and PD, I assume it’s the same for other nations but idk.
When I was a kid I used to drive by the Pirelli building all the time and dreading that I might have to go to work in a big, beige building like that one day. I never liked buildings like that until somehow it just clicked for me in my late twenties. Now I think brutalism and similar styles are wonderful.
Anyway, maybe I’m just a weirdo, but it was actually surprisingly pleasant in there: clean and calm with friendly, easy going staff. I kind of regret getting excused a little bit.
Oh. You like brutalism.
Well look where I went to school.
Nice!
You’ll love the AT&T Long Lines Building in NYC then.
It’s a beautiful building but it’s frightening to see in real life. A monolithic lair for some unseen unknowable horror.
Part of what I like about it is that it’s not pretending to be something else. It looks like a an extremely secure, resilient building, which is exactly what it is, but it still looks good.
I actually think thats a pretty building, while finding the other buildings mentioned in this thread boring to ugly. Just to put in my two cents. At least this one has a prettier color.
I do!
