So all that brutalist architecture, what if we just painted it? Not one colour, patterns to break it up.
Has this been done somewhere?
Any other ways to make it look better than tearing it down? Whole bunch of fake glass?

It's been done quite a bit throughout Eastern Europe. Here are some examples from Poland:
Certainly a nicer colour scheme than dirty soul-crushing grey.
Those don't look brutalist to me. I feel like brutalism calls for more than just grey blocks of concrete.
It has to look at least a little bit evil
Not sure if you're making a clever joke, or if you don't know that brutalism is defined by using steel and concrete in large blocks. Might be a mega "woosh" on my part though haha
I wasn't making a joke. It doesn't feel right to call every unpainted concrete box brutalist.
