Brutalist

Brutalist architecture emerged in the 1950s in the United Kingdom as a post-war reconstruction project, characterized by minimalist constructions showcasing bare building materials and structural elements over decorative design. The style typically features exposed concrete, brick, and angular geometric shapes in a monochrome color palette, and was popularized in the 1950s by architects such as Alison and Peter Smithson, Ernő Goldfinger, and Chamberlin, Powell & Bon. Brutalism descended from the modernist movement and was associated with socialist principles, leading to its widespread use in social housing and institutional buildings around the world. The style gained popularity in socialist and communist nations as a means of emphasizing equality, but its popularity began to decline in the late 1970s due to criticism and association with urban decay and totalitarianism.learn more on wikipedia
