I like it.

I think the greenery in these pictures is doing quite a bit of lifting. Brutalist buildings without plants are less fun to look at

I think that was the original idea for brutalist buildings, complementing them with plants? I don't want to look for a source right now though, so take it with a grain of salt.

Any building without plants is less fun to look at

Brutalism without greenery does not work well in general. I love the post apocalyptic vibes of a concrete building overgrown by plants.

These look like defensive structures from a war movie with some plants on them

I've been looking for a reason why I find them unpleasant and you found it for me. They look like the decaying Nazi bunkers I got to explore on a Danish beach when I was a kid.

Though I also don't like massive towers of glass. Or rowhomes. Or really cities in general. Give me a nice cave in a swamp any day.
