Considering the majority of my former campuses architecture is brutalitist this is something interesting to me. It very much creates a sense of separation from your surroundings and at times a dis-ease in your own environment. I wonder if the children have any perception of it.

Really? Where's that? Brutalism is something I have trouble believing was ever considered stylistic (to the degree that someone might seriously make it the foundation of an entire complex).

Yikes. And then the complete opposite -- here's Austin's. It has a 3.5 on Yelp.

guys, guys, guys I think sydney wins this. This is the eyes sore of sydney's skyline - can be seen from practically everywhere, not pleasant to be around and it looks even worse in person.
