Do you think Brutalism is ugly? Ton, our resident modern architecture lover, wants to share a different perspective. Is raw concrete cold, or is it *cool*? The name Brutalism comes from the French "‘Béton brut" meaning raw concrete. Many buildings made in the post-World War II period use concrete. Cities had to rebuild quickly, but innovation was born from necessity. Some architects enjoyed experimenting with the new ways that concrete could be used to create structures that could never be made before. Watch!
