Comment on Anon's brother hates concrete

Functionalism is the style that is all about minimizing the resources used to get the most useful building you possibly can.

Yeah, I know there’s impractical brutalist buildings, but those are the big expensive projects, right? The cheap ones are practical as far as I knew

Yes, any architectural style can be practical, I’m just saying that the style you’re actually advocating for is functionalism. I’d recommend doing some reading about it. I think you’d be a fan, considering you already seem to be in favour of all it’s core precepts.
