Brutalism in Architecture expresses the essential qualities of a building’s materials and structure in an honest and direct way. The architectural style emerged in the mid-20s, based on the brute and unadorned use of concrete.
Brutalism, named by the French term béton brute, or brute concrete, became popular in the post-WWII era, when the need for affordable housing and public buildings led to widespread use of concrete.
