One of the defining features of this architecture is its unapologetic use of exposed concrete. This material, with its rough texture, provides a sense of authenticity and robustness.
Far from being monotonous or oppressive, the play of light and shadow on the concrete surfaces creates a dynamic interplay that adds a touch of drama to Brutalist structures. The starkness of the concrete allows the forms and shapes of the buildings to take center stage, showcasing the beauty that can be found within the seemingly brutal exterior.
