Database of Brutalist buildings

They left out the Boston City Hall [1] and the Washington, D.C. J. Edgar Hoover building (FBI) [2].

As a person with a strange obsession with brutalism (some of it is great, some of it is terrible, some in-between, but IMO nearly all of it is fascinating) – cool!

Seems to be missing a lot, though. Warsaw, Poland, doesn't have any listings, for example.

Thanks! When I see brutalism it conveys a sense of purpose and always looks futuristic. I guess I understand why people don't like it, but in my opinion, many of the buildings are much more interesting than seemingly cookie cutter modern glass towers.

Edit: wording

Thanks for posting. Wasn't really aware what Brutalist actually was - turns out one of my favorite buildings downtown is on this list. (and safe, for now)
