Contemporary Brutalism
Contemporary Brutalism is a design style characterized by rugged, raw, and austere materials such as concrete, steel, and glass. This architectural approach often features massive, monolithic structures with harsh geometric shapes and a focus on functionality over ornamentation. Contemporary Brutalist buildings typically have a strong sense of scale and proportion, with exposed structural elements and a sense of weightiness. This style emerged in the mid-20th century and continues to be influential in contemporary architecture.
