Renders of the Moscow Kremlin - the greatest architectural ensemble in the world - in 1700 (brick) and 1800 (limestone)
I seem to have a thing for Brutalism in general, but exposed concrete in religious buildings is just 👌
Feels more honest in a way.

Nothing like a little "GOD IS LOVE" in bold text on a oppressive concrete slab to drive home the point that you're in a religious building.
