I appreciate its novelty at the time, and its nostalgia now. It was used in a lot of public buildings in the 1970's because it tended to be more economical than Ivy League looking brick buildings with white trim. I appreciate that its design had something to say, even if that thing wasn't clear or useful. Now public buildings look like boring brick boxes with maybe a curved wall or some other "accent".
I think of the federal building in Manchester, NH which looks like something the lizardman aliens would have built in “V” or might make you think the government faked the 9/11 attacks.
Boring beats ugly, IME. A certain amount of ambition is welcome, and a certain amount of failure is an inevitable cost of that, but textured concrete should have been consigned to the history books a long time ago.
Honestly, I liked the brutalist behemoths more than the tilt-ups with fake italian villa crown molding, arches, and weird curves.
At least the buildings usually convey one specific message instead of a mish-mash of "I'm a big cheap commercial building but I wish I was this other thing instead"
