We all know that a cat will sit where it fits, but if they were huge, couldn't that become a little bit problematic? Well, you should never underestimate a cat's ability to curl up in the most unexpected places, and this Instagram account understands that perfectly. "Cats of Brutalism" shows what would happen if cats suddenly blew up or cities shrunk. One way or another, black and white digital manipulations show cats taking over the most spectacular examples of brutalist architecture around the world.
Three students of Master of Architecture at the University at Buffalo, Emily Battaglia, Madelaine Ong, and Michaela Senay, set up the account to provide people with a "daily dose of cats and concrete," something you'd probably never have imagined you'd enjoy so much, and didn't expect it to become overwhelmingly popular with 83.7k Instagram followers. However, the juxtaposition of rough brutalist structures with soft and adorable cats creates absurd, yet whimsical images people can't seem to get enough of.
Emily Battaglia, one of the creators of the project, told Bored Panda:
“We never imagined this project would reach the audience it has. Our goal originally was to reach an audience of about 1,500 in 3 months to be able to call it successful. By 3 months, we were close to 20 thousand. The response has been very positive as well. We have received a lot of appraisal and support, which is what motivates us to post daily.”
