[@liranbromberg8501]

Hey Bdubs, just a quick history bit about brutalism. The term actually doesn't have anything to do with the word "brutal" as we use it in english today. The term comes from the French phrase " béton brut" meaning "raw concrete". The idea was to focus on the material qualities of the concrete itself without covering it up with another material or distracting from it with too much detail, in the same kind of way that several modern art movements have encouraged the focus to be put on the work as an object rather than as a composition by emphasizing the hand of the artist, the material qualities of the paint, the canvas, and the brush, etc. So when creating brutalist designs, you should think "raw" or "exposed" more than "brutal".

[@mrShift_0044]

well i guess there is raw AND exposed parts for this build, so it still fits!

[@sanskarjain3564]

It's kinda like how draconian has nothing to do with dragons

[@amaryllis0]

Do you mean 'draconian', because 'draconic' absolutely does mean 'dragon-like'

[@sanskarjain3564]

@@amaryllis0 oops, don't mind me making an absolute fool out of myself. That was daft.

[@analogbunny]

Some of the Soviet-era brutalist buildings are actually incredibly beautiful and ornate, but leave all the concrete casting seams and steel rivets and brackets for support structures that were disassembled after the building was done. The "rawness" and the fact that the base materials and construction methods aren't hidden away under paint or panelling or other finishing methods.

Bdubs just pulled the Minecraft equivalent of realizing he left the oven on suddenly, mid-sentence. 12:21

I hope you are only talking about building and design in Minecraft. Because I would say that would be a great leap of faith otherwise. Lol I'm just teasing the fact he's kinda crazy sometimes.

Hey Bdubs! I just had an idea: instead of a hole in the ground that leads to the skele farm, why not make a cemetery there and have a little mausoleum with the entrance inside?

That Red Lobster bit was a wonderful moment of classic Building with Bdubs. You should do it more often!

Started watching Bdubs when I was 15, but eventually drifted as I got older and stopped playing so many games. To come back as a 23 year old to see him still thriving, still doing new and creative stuff that is *still* unparalleled makes me so very happy :)

[@gljames24]

I did the same! Things change, but Bdubs remains as an amazing constant.

[@captainpanda5533]

I gotta say, I love that you've started tying everything together with paths and statues and things. I felt like that's what the series was missing up until now, and I love how it's all coming together!

[@Ramlajh]

This is why Ive been subscribed to you for the past 10 years. Always coming up with interesting, unique building ideas. You almost never see minecraft youtubers using this building style, even though its square, blocky characteristics are perfect for the game.

[@zackm3782]

Brutalism is one of my favorite architectural styles! You nailed the bold, monolithic appearance. I’ve always wondered how to bring it into Minecraft.

[@54m0h7]

Such a cute and wholesome moment with you and your daughter. That little burp was hilarious. lol

[@chaaanchaaan1920]

This is getting me even more exited than the flying boat

[@sepiasmith5065]

Brutalism is a very cool aesthetic to me particularly when it's mixed with "overgrowth." Like an old building that's been abandoned and nature has reclaimed it. Also, the variations and trying new things are one of the best parts of your series!!!

[@kaykayj07]

i love this series so much!! As an illustrator who is also interested in brutalist architecture, I cant tell you how much it brightens my day to see you go into the fundamental principles of these things. :-) also! the 'mess', as you described it, in your brutalist wall is generally referred to as 'greebling' or 'greeble/greeblies'! Its just a term for areas of high detail, usually in relation to diorama/model making. Anyways, keep up the good work!!

[@theawecat27]

i normally hate brutalistic buildings, but seeing it in minecraft is so interesting!! i think you also came up with a really appealing general shape for the factory too which helps a lot. also using the ai for a computer helps to makw it more evil feeling, it almost feels like you've spliced open a syborg brain in the middle it's a little scary to look but definitely cool in this context

[@salemoleander]

LOVE the interest in irl architecture + weathering! If you've never looked into 'neo-Andean' architecture before, it gives a maximalist/art deco appearance using 2d shapes and bright color on what are often very flat buildings. Seems like something you might have fun with!

[@FoilThePiglin]

Bdubs interacting with his family in his videos will always be wholesome

[@Shiskamba]

Architect approved. Well done Bdubs!

[@Flow_Plays_Minecraft]

There’s plenty of KZbinrs showing off their beautiful builds. But there’s no one that explains Minecraft building theory as well as Bdubs. So thank you! I have learned a great deal watching this series.

[@lycos94]

I'm normally more of a medieval wood and stone kind of builder, but that building is truly one of the most incredible Minecraft builds I have ever seen, I absolutely love it

[@ebsolas]

Oh man. I love Brutalism as a style. It's my go to for Minecraft building. Love the build. I've always subscribed to the belief that a brutalist build should tell a story. It's about letting you know at a glance what the purpose of the parts of the build is. When you look at the stairwell you should instinctively know "that's the stairs" or "that's where the people go". And the story is what gives brutalism it's interest.

[@chrissmith5825]

Though he revolutionized Minecraft today, this episode gave me an old building with bdubs vibe. Maybe it was the personal red lobster story at the beginning or hearing him talk to his Ari ❤️ Made my Saturday even better

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

A way to make brutalism interesting is playing with light and geometry, one of my favorite examples is Villa Van Wassenhove. It also shows that brutalism can also have different concrete textures, often a wood-like one made by using traditional wooden molds when pouring the concrete. What you made reminds me of cyberpunk brutalism, with large plates covering something and greebling (like lego fans call it) in between the plates. ps: or like in Star Wars like he said, greebling is mostly use in lego Star Wars sets lol

[@nifft.3115]

It’s funny how you mentioned “factory” and “evil” are similar because I think this build looks like a big, hi-tech fortress! Great job, you’ve inspired me to look for more futuristic references!

[@notanimposter]

Ohh I love how the bone blocks make the building look like it's lightly stained from water dripping down. The different depths and the contrast between the low and high detail areas remind me of locations from Studio Ghibli movies.

[@DiddyRiese]

Bdubs!!! Love how you've managed to pull off the brutalism style so well. By complete coincidence, I've been messing it with myself for the past few weeks but haven't found much success and I think it's because I wasn't thinking of the composition the way you described (mostly low detail with high-detailed areas interspersed as focal points). This video came in at just the right time! I hope I can take this back and implement it in my own builds. For your reference, I was pulling inspiration from artstation and buildings like the penitentiary in the Spiderhead movie (would definitely recommend you check those out for yourself if you're looking to try buildings that aren't just rectangular). The build looks great, thank you for constantly pushing the envelope of building in Minecraft and trying your hand at non-conventional styles. Way to go, keep it up! :D

[@DiddyRiese]

Would also love to see you experiment with eco-brutalism!

[@averagezing]

One building I'd really suggest for experimenting with is the Geisel Library at UC San Diego. You may have to go big on the scale at first and THEN scale it down, but that's a building that would be a good experiment with brutalism and a good way of learning proportion, focus, and still having something look good in Minecraft!

[@EnlargedBrain]

Bdubs has gotta be the most creative and innovating builder out there

[@williamcomyn5948]

Mr Bdubs , as an architecture student , could argue that the building is almost bowellism , postmodernist style where the workings of the building are put on the outside , example would be Llyods building in london uk

[@vismaykedilaya1318]

this looks like something out of Hayao Miyazaki. i think you just NAILED the style of brutalism. it kinda looks abandoned, as if whoever owned it didn't have the money to afford maintenance, so the pipes started to rust and the rust started dripping down the walls. it looks beautiful

[@mqrgan]

Not gonna lie, it’s not my favorite style but I’m excited to watch you make it work because I know you’ll manage to make it look good somehow. I’m just gonna miss seeing the ironworks and the mud farm off in the distance.

I think this is the first time that I've seen Brutalism done in Minecraft where the build looks like a real part of a living world, and not just a lego set, and that is extremely cool.

[@Rhaifha]

I guess it was "bring your kids to work"-day. I love it, it's so cute

There's a lot of brutalist architecture where I'm from. It's so cool to see Bdubs do it!

[@justrecentlyi5444]

20:58 What you're talking about in Star Wars are "greebles" or greebling. Adding in a bunch of random detail, particularly if they come from other sources.

[@spellitoutloud]

Oh man Bdubs, my mother in law makes her own cheese biscuits based on the Red Lobster ones and they are so freakin good. Leave your family, come to ours

[@ryanmedrina9411]

You really are a true builder KING. You style is unique, very detailed, and a shining guide to all aspiring MC builders. Beautiful build as always.

[@ztaylor616]

Couple things 1) Cheddar bay biscuits are the best. 2) I get major like judge dredd “blocks” vibes from the build and I love it!

[@RoshammboGamming]

i really like the building it gives off like a dystopian techpunk vibe. Like an 80's version of cyber punk without all the neon. very cool

[@xeinth9097]

Bdubs casually talking with his daughters is so amazing. Makes these videos feel very relaxed. I love it

[@offscreen4250]

I love brutalism, was actually speculating recently on how you could implement those ideas into minecraft as well. My thought was that smooth stone is sorta the bare concrete of minecraft, so using that as the main material would probably work, but this is craftier and I think gets that sorta tan-golden color you see on real examples down a little better

[@sheillaghplays5093]

I love the little cameo from his daughter that was so cute 💖

[@Mr1Pink]

Bdubs, red lobster may not be the best seafood place, but god DAMN! THEM BISCUTS! You can also buy them in stores now and make em at home!!! ITS SO GOOD! (Love the build btw)

[@DeirdreSpencer]

This is so imaginative, and I love that you referenced Brutalism in this one, and how you used Firefly to generate ideas. Good tip!

[@hawkip]

Once again Bdubs has built something revolutionizing details, the armor stand mechanical thing was so so cool.

[@malliredeemed1772]

There is a face that musicians make when they hear music that is just sooooo good…it’s a stank face. Once you revealed the part with the detail alongside the brutalistic parts…I made that face, and it just kept getting stankier with every addition. I love watching this world come together!!

[@duncandonitz4874]

Another masterpiece. But I'll miss seeing the smaller buildings behind it.

[@bbgun061]

That's my only issue; it needs to be moved to fit into the world better.

[@silverutopia]

Yes it's a great build, but such a shame to lose the vista of the industrial district from the village.

[@sy2823]

I LOVE brutalism!! I was so hoping that the video would be about it from the title, and it was! Your builds always are so artistic, but I think this one may be my favorite. The left side especially, where you had the small divot under the top section of the tower, its so iconic for the style! Everything about the build, from the rust stains to the exposed generator, I can see the care that went into planning this. And it paid off! The whole building is beautiful. Thank you for all your work

[@javi5208]

I've recently come across more content about brutalism in videos or random posts but never knew what it was before hand. It's something I'm never sure whether I actually like or not when I see it, but I can appreciate the architecture because it draws so much attention to itself, while somehow having less detail/design to it. Really cool to see a take on this on MC for the first time, I like the risk taking and I love the finished piece! Thanks, Bdubs! time to go buy merch

[@purpledragonofdoom]

I'm out of words to express my admiration for Bdubs' building skills. Once again he blesses us with a masterpiece. I love this series so much, I love listening to Bdubs walking us through his thought process and explaining building concepts. We're so lucky to have Bdubs in the Minecraft community ! ♥

[@aloe_illustromic]

I never had an appreciation for brutalism until now lol. What a great explanation and demonstration of the concept. Awesome video as always! :D

[@JenInMinecraft]

I guess you could say, this episode was... brutal! ;) 11:40 - I still remember that episode. Also, I love the bone blocks - that sample style kind of makes it look like water/rust stains on a sheetmetal facade.

[@Zinoba_]

WOAH! You really are the master of minecraft detailing and texturing work! My jaw dropped at 17:55 when that crazy detailed contraption looking like part of the building came into view! those seemingly random jumbled together blocks, but it all works so beautifully together and you just know there has been a lot of thought behind everything!

[@thegoheads]

Wow, this is a great video. I've been watching you off and on for about a year, and you've helped me a lot with ideas for building and texturing. It's good to see and hear your family too! Your commercials are so funny sometimes.

[@loganlogon3720]

My respect for Bdubs grows more and more every time I get to see/hear these little family interactions. The man clearly loves them so much and I dig it!😍 Also is it just me or does Bdubs kinda look like Christopher Lloyd in the end merch push?😂

[@gloopgloopglorp]

[@FreakForFilmScore]

It is a very cool build. I'm not sold on the way it clashes with the rest of this region's stylistic language, or the way you've placed it in the world so that it completely blots out the view of the other farms you've built out here, but I really can't take issue with the build itself. It looks imposing and grubby and cool.

[@thomm7477]

love everything and bearing with you on the style, love how you go big scale to add detail and emphasize you don't wan't to go crazy on composition without doing big builds. good luck on the future vids.

[@anfernyrocks_9945]

[@jcofortco]

New word for my braintionary: brutalism. While I'm honestly not sure how keen I like it with the rest of the world I have faith it'll eventually fit in nicely with other builds you'll do. It looks like a turkey or sugar beet processing plant here in Colorado. Will you be doing something similiar maybe at a smaller scale in the Create world? That'd look sweet. Of the many different things you do I really appreciate that you try new build styles & somehow make them your own. I always feel like I can see something & say definitively "now That's a Bdubs build." I also REALLY like the "texturing", the ombre fading effects you do. Thx for all you do! 😊
