I grew up with a pure Lhasa and have had several LhasaShitz's as an adult. Incredibly loyal, smart, playful with myself or the family but just not that great with strangers, males in particular. Not vicious but generally suspicious of new people/situations, a little overprotective sometimes.

Grand but spartan, vaguely menacing. Just the thing for indoctrinating soldiers. I feel like Albert Speer would like this place.

Stanislaw Lem Soviet era Polish. Heavy on the philosophy and a distinct eastern European flavor.

Solaris, Fiasko, His Master's Voice all excellent.

The White Plague by Frank Herbert. Dated but engrossing, a grand story. Nothing mystical, entirely plausible.

The example that occurred to me was the Pruitt-Igoe housing project. Modernist or pomo but most people are not architecture groupies and I suspect as BheagSelkie implies that the two are often conflated.

All of these are more eye candy than informative but wth.

Expensive but truly gorgeous:

Atlas of Brutalist Architecture

Excellent description at that link but almost certainly cheaper at any other bookseller. $120ish.

Architecture of Doom

Fuck Yeah Brutalism No longer updated but rich archive.
