Before and after pictures would be nice, that's kind of the point of the thread

I wouldn't say it's replacement is any architectural masterpiece but compared to the previous version, it's a massive improvement. If no one liked brutalism it would never have existed, I just have never understood how anyone could like buildings that are devoid of any features, ornamentation or imagination, brutalism just seems like the laziest and most uninteresting design imaginable.
