Brutalist architecture

Brutalist architecture

 

Brutalist architecture, popular in the mid-20th century, is characterized by its use of raw, unfinished concrete and bold, stark geometric shapes. It often features large, block-like structures with exposed concrete surfaces. Brutalist buildings aim for functional simplicity and often lack decorative elements. This style has been used for a variety of structures, including government buildings, universities, and housing complexes. While divisive in opinion, Brutalism represents a unique and influential architectural movement.
