What Is Brutalism?
Brutalism is a style of architecture that lasted from the 1950s-1970s, and it was characterized by simple, block-like, hulking concrete structures, with an emphasis on materials, textures and construction, producing highly expressive forms.

The buildings are characterised by their massive, monolithic and ‘blocky’ appearance with a rigid geometric style and large-scale use of poured concrete.

Brutalism began to fade out in the 1980s, where it increasingly came to be regarded as cold, alienating and unfit for humans. It turned out that concrete had an allure of indestructibility but deteriorated from the inside, making it difficult to maintain and prone to crumbling and water damage as it aged.

In the years since, the world has been divided into those who think that Brutalist buildings are eyesores that should be demolished and those who find these vintage but not yet historic buildings architectural masterpieces to be cherished and preserved.
