Santa Brutalist

I ask you, does Brutalism work? Brutalist architecture, hard lined, fortress blocks, a functional concrete Lego, all too often  associated with despair and urban decay. Even the word Brutalist conjures up images of a mean and drooling vicious dog, a totalitarian jackboot,  a crushing weight.

Must there always be grey skies to caress the sharp concrete edges? Will there always be those angry signs? Must the signs always be lettered on hissing supersaturated red?

But the biggest question of all, the one question that society has brushed aside for far too many years; with no little chimneys, how on earth does Santa get inside?
