Brutism
Brutism is a design aesthetic characterized by raw, unadorned materials, massive forms, and a focus on functionality over ornamentation. This architectural style often features exposed concrete, block-like structures, and a sense of solidity and permanence. Brutism emerged in the mid-20th century as a reaction against the sleekness and decorative excesses of modernism, instead embracing a more utilitarian and industrial aesthetic. Buildings in the Brutist style can be found around the world, with notable examples including the Barbican Centre in London and the Boston City Hall.
