The following two things are, I believe, incontrovertibly true: the majority of extant Brutalist buildings are perfectly nice; every single one of them could be significantly improved by giving them a lick of paint and perhaps a bit of tasteful stucco work.

There was a Brutalist church in my hometown growing up

At some point when I was in college they decided to soften up the veneer, particularly that big blank béton brut entryway wall, with tinted stone facing and some decoration

Looks much worse tbh
