Happy Wednesday! In honor of recently watching The Brutalist (highly recommend) I wanted to share my favorite brutalist building with ya’ll!
This is the Church of the Light built by Tadao Ando just outside Osaka in 1999. The material choice and size of the space creates this insanely ethereal feeling as the light spills in from the window..
My favorite part of this building is how simple yet impactful it is, and I recently did a project in school experimenting with light like Ando did!

It’s my first day doing this so I wanted to share my favorite building ever with ya’ll!
This is Casa Batllo, built by Antoni Gaudi in Barcelona back in 1904. It’s got mosaics all along the facade, a super organic interior, gorgeous windows, it’s got it all!
My favorite part about this building is that there are very few straight lines inside, with all corners or edges being rounded off or plastered to look softer.

Not religious myself, but I’m a big fan of the architecture and quiet gardens surrounding it. The chapel itself was closed when I visited, and the glass walls acted as an uncanny barrier between myself and what seemed a space frozen in time—both separate and joined to the world outside of it.
