The same tram model as Athens.

That looks like stone rather than raw concrete (“béton brut” in French, from which Brutalism gets its name). I’d say it’s not really Brutalist, but a form of modernism or even stripped-down neo-classicism.

Brutalism gets a bad rap. If done by a talented architect, it can look really good. But too often the architect is just some Soviet guy doing a job.

The only brutalist work I've seen that actually looks good

This isn't brutalism at all. It's more utilitarian than anything. A metro like DC is a great example of brutalism.

The walls are beautiful, and the floor's not bad either. But I think the cream paint definitely stops it from being brutalism.

Ahhh, the beauty of the Renaissance was nothing compared to this. /s

I really think this looks drab. Too drab to be honest.
