Wonders of the Modern World: Jaw-Dropping Infrastructures That Leave You in Awe
Brutalist Buildings
Brutalist buildings are a style of architecture that emerged in the mid-20th century. It is characterized by its use of raw concrete, bold geometric forms, and a stark, unadorned appearance. They were built in the United Kingdom after World War II, and the picture shows apartments in Camden, London, an excellent example of this style.
Typically, Brutalist buildings use materials like brick, concrete, steel, glass, and wood, which were intended to be functional and efficient rather than aesthetically pleasing. Despite being criticized for its perceived ugliness, it has also been celebrated for its ability to evoke emotion. And these designs are found all over the world today.
