Picture this: massive, almost imposing structures with a no-nonsense attitude. They’re not trying to hide anything — the design shows off the bones of the building. In fact, ‘Brutalism’ comes from the French word ‘béton brut,’ which basically means ‘raw concrete.’
You’ve probably seen Brutalist buildings without even realising it. They’re used for all sorts of things, like government offices, cultural centers, apartments, and schools. They’ve left a big mark on cityscapes since the post-war era.
