Video: A Visual Study of Brutalism

The feeling that being at one of these buildings evokes is a wonder for the ingenuity and ability that humans have to create structures that humble us. They have a prevailing calm about them that no other architecture style can capture. These structures remind us to look at the world with childlike amazement from their massive size and clean geometric shapes.

An exact definition for what constitutes a Brutalist building is hard to arrive at because the types of building considered Brutalist can range widely. Because of this, a Brutalist building can be made of lots of other materials besides concrete. This means the definition of Brutalism is really more of an ideology than a strict guideline.

Neo-Brutalism works well for contemporary industrial and urban spaces.

At Roomscape we stock a range of original vintage Brutalist furniture & lighting.
