So all that brutalist architecture, what if we just painted it? Not one colour, patterns to break it up.

Has this been done somewhere?
Any other ways to make it look better than tearing it down? Whole bunch of fake glass?
You're viewing a single thread.
Some graffiti is, I think, traditional at this point and a good mural can do wonders to humanize it. I have a feeling that patterns are not actually going to improve it though. The problem is often the form rather than what the material looks like. You could paint it to look like a row of thatched cottages but that would to me be even more depressing.
You are also then committed to repainting it regularly or it's going to quickly look even worse than when you started.
Plants, especially vines, tend to go great with brutalism. The living contrast adds color and life to durable structures.
Vines in my opinion are great dicore maybe that's because I'm a sucker for abandoned building vibes idk what it is that makes me love looking at abandoned buildings it's one of the reasons I love portal 2's abandoned sci Fi look if I wasn't for the high heights and turrets I would love to explore abandoned apeture
Graffiti is vandalism. It is not traditional, and it's not art. It's a crime; there is no exception unless it's done on private property with permission from the property owner.

Imagine someone buys the Mona Lisa and declares that its not art and da Vinci grafittied their privately owned piece of canvas. Artists around the globe in shambles.
You're right, but you have to draw the line somewhere. If someone decides to light a building on fire and call it "performance art," nobody considers it anything but a crime. If someone spray-paints a vulgarity on the side of a school, few would call that "art," but a mural on the side of a concrete wall is "street art." The subject matter and the quality of the painting doesn't make the determination between art and vandalism; it's just vandalism.
Lol.
How many more millennia are needed before you'll consider graffiti an established tradition?
How do you feel about even newer practices like "farming" and "democracy"? Do you think they'll catch on too? Or just new-fangled nonsense?
