Brutalism

Brutalism is an architectural style that emerged in the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s to 1970s. It gained popularity as a reaction against the ornamental and decorative styles of earlier periods. This style emphasizes raw, honest, and utilitarian design, often characterized by massive, monolithic concrete structures. Brutalism became famous for its utilitarian aesthetic, attention to materiality, and the use of exposed concrete as a primary building material.
