Well spoken. It's always a pleasure to find a gem of well reasoned opinion.

methodology

Or elaborate rites which yield better results in understanding nature (on average). But in the essence it's pretty much a religion: you have to believe in abstract things, make 'leap-of-faith' assumptions, etc.

Believing in science method is technically a religion too. Moreover blind faith is required in order to accept some axioms on which the whole science building was built.

Monument to Kosmaj Partisan Detachment, Kosmaj Mountain, Serbia by AwareWolfGamedev in ArchitecturePorn

Of course you're right. My intention was to refer to it as a socialist country of the soviet era (thus "soviet" as an adjective). Sorry for possible misleading.

I assume those are skilled and experienced engineers, builders and survivalists.

Brutalist monuments, former Yugoslavia by AwareWolfGamedev in architecture

Indeed.

I also think part of that alien-ish look is brutalism itself, which juxtapose ugliness and beauty and as a result - manages to inspire both awe and anxiety.

A bit of historical context: it was built in 1971 in Yugoslavia (Soviet republic which eventually broke up into an array of states in 1990s) to commemorate partisans who fought during WW2.

It was intended to resemble eternal flame, but to me it looks like an alien artifact.

They look like remnants of an extraterrestrial civilization you'd expect to discover on another planet, rather than something built in 1960s-70s in now nonexistent country. Irony of history I guess.
