Looking it up, apparently the new version was itself demolished in 2015 to make room for commercial spaces, which makes it even more sad.

i will never understand how people can find brutalism actively appealing, at best some specific examples (that aren't even proper brutalism) can be tolerable..
Like i'm sorry but it's raw concrete, i.. if you think you find it appealing, you're just wrong, just like you'd simply be objectively incorrect to state "wow i much prefer having a picnic on the surface of the moon rather than in a magical forest"
I like brutalism architecture, I genuinely feel at peace around it. It's polarising. That said I also like art nouveau which I guess is pretty much the opposite.
I also like both!
