You are correct and doing fine.

The authority to check with is Kenneth Frampton and his Modern Architecture. He categorized Safdie as postmodern. I just checked and apparently my copy (some early 90s edition) is awol from the shelf and no pdfs to be found on the net. However found this article:

Grep for safdie:

He was a great teacher, too.

Also not "brutalist" (Safdie meets a straight edge on a hill):

Rokko Housing I, II, III, Kobe, Tadao Ando https://arquitecturaviva.com/works/edificios-rokko-i-ii-iii-...

Ando used to make concrete sing. Just superb. He also had a dog he named Corbu (its true!) - iirc he claimed (in a lecture when visiting our school) that he followed Corbusier but to me he generously lifted from Lou Kahn.
