@AmonMaritza @WTFPurpleAlpaca @sickburnbro There is something to that, within reason. And there is a cultural aspect as well. The non-figurative designs of the Islamic world appeal more to their sensibilities, for example. I can appreciate it, but I would rather my church have icons or figurative stained glass, because it appeals to my sensibilities.

Germans have a distinct set of sensibilities that may include a bit of brutalism here and there.
