       | Our family used to attend Newman Hall Church in Berkeley,
       | California back in the '90s -- a very brutalist building of a
       | church. Although religion never took for me, I had fond memories
       | of the after-church donut feasts in the community space. I don't
       | know if the intention of the architecture was to get me to focus
       | on the mass, but young me just spent the entire time taking in
       | the strange geometries of the place.
