~~OP~~ the original creator has never seen a prison
It's not terribly far off. The barebones brutalist style where the chairs are attached to the floor, hard plastic molded tabletops. Lack of items that can be moved or taken completely conveys "do your business and leave". Obviously a screen that size that wouldn't be that accessible in a prison, but it only adds the harsh nature and lack of human touch of the room.
7/10 definetly reminiscent of chow hall.
This is in absolutely no way consistent with the brutalist movement.
"Brutalist buildings are characterised by minimalist constructions that showcase the bare building materials and structural elements over decorative design."
I would welcome expanding my knowledge but what style do you consider buildings of few decorative designs other than their harsh geometric edges and shapes? The inner walls of a prison are often the outer wall. Just straight rows of cinderblock. Inside and outside, the structures lack other architechtural stylings because it creates hiding places or is viewed as extra work/cost during construction.Everything ends in a corner or an edge - no soft edges. As far as my experiences are concerned, that lines up pretty well unless you would rather use the word "spartan" in terms of how little decoration the state puts up.
This is a great example of how reading a WIkipedia article imparts a lot of information and absolutely zero knowledge. This, this, and this are all extremely good examples of brutalist design. The McDonald's in the OP in no way is reminiscent of such aesthetic concerns. Both are spartan, certainly; but then, so is a lot of post-modernist design (to say nothing of the various minimalist movements throughout time). I'm not here to debate whether or not prisons are brutalist in design, that's far too sweeping a category to sum up in one school of design and additionally it's not the point of the conversation here.
No, I see your point - brutalism is making an interesting structure and shaping internal spaces using building materials as a limitation.
Where prisons are function-over-form and may appear to meet the style - it is merely coincidental and is not usually artistic expressionism but rather necessity to perform a task.
McShungles is just ultramodern design that comes from a Corp cheaping out
Stuff changes. Here an example what is considered brutalism nowadays: https://thespaces.com/the-best-brutalist-homes-on-the-market-right-now/3/
TBF though, concrete walls are still pretty much a requirement.
That also describes the old McDonald's. All the seats in the older photo are also attached to the floor with hard plastic molded tables.
At least the old one has colors.
I was thinking 'Apple' when I saw it, but I didn't make the meme. So I put it in the title instead. If you change 'prison' to 'designed by Apple,' it works better.
You mean the person who originally made the meme that OP posted
~~no i mean OP. unless OP outright says otherwise, it’s fair to assume they probably have at least a marginally similar opinion to the original creator otherwise why would they post it?~~
edit: ok they came and said it outright lol.
