1. I’ve always loved the way this Church and hot-Quebec-brutalism work so well together. One of my favorite things about Montreal.

2. I think it’s called “modern architecture”. Enlighten me about Quebec Brutalism, seems like a fun current.

3. Yep, modernism, but a certain kind of it:

   I just called it Quebec brutalism because it’s in … Quebec. UQAM has some great stuff.

4. There’s also the term “Campus brutalism”:

   And both UQAM and McGill offer fine examples of it.
