To all the followers of Fuck Yeah Brutalism and to all of you who painfully create and maintain not-for-profit architecture blogs hosted on Tumblr, please share!!!!
www.fuckyeahbrutalism.tumblr.com was shut down by tumblr for no apparent reason and without any notice hacked by a spammer and risks being deleted by tumblr. Please write to support@tumblr.com or contact them directly through http://tumblr.com/support and ask them to help restore FYB to its original state.
Reblog this and, if Michael’s five year daily unpaid effort meant something for you, act now!

Later Edit: Thanks to all your comments and messages we are now beginning to figure out what has happened to FYB: - on July 20 their account has been hacked and someone else began to post click-bait spam links and other idiotic stuff. They also changed the domain name into www.fuckyeahITSbrutalism.tumblr.com (which is still alive). The reason you see the usual Brutalist scans among all those spams is that Michael scheduled his posts via the automatic Queue feature of tumblr. - the same spammer also created a new page titled www.fuckyeahbrutalism.tumblr.com (now that the domain was available again), posting hideous adverts and, yeah, spam… - it’s not clear if the tumblr @staff shut down anything as a result of FYB followers flagging the posts as spam - Michael Abrahamson didn’t knew any of these, as he was in vacation in Europe - Anyway, write to support@tumblr.com or contact them directly through http://tumblr.com/support and ask them to help restore FYB to its original state (as it was before July 20th). Act now!
Geometric paintings by Albert Ruiz Villar who lives and works in Barcelona, Spain. At times these seem to me created by something with a digital or artificial mind which is along the lines of Villar’s definition of his work: “Communication is language itself, the only purpose is the creation of a code […] Formal results are but new openings which alter direction in language. Pieces are scions which grow in different directions and stay in indefinite places.”
Please continue below to see more of Villar’s paintings:
