I took many of my classes in undergrad at the University of Illinois's Foreign Language Building, which beside being red brick rather than cement was quite brutalist. I personally found the design quite beautiful, especially on the inside, where the lobby featured a four story high ceiling and an inverse-pyramidal shape that allowed a lot of light to filter down from the top. The whole thing was very symmetrical. I also like University of Pittsburgh's Posvar hall, another brutalist upside-down pyramid, although that one is concrete. I do prefer traditional arquitecture for its color, regional distinctiveness, and quaintness, but I don't mind good examples of brutalist arquitecture any more than modern buildings. But bad brutalist arquitecture is admittedly quite bad.
