STLYE OF ARCHITECTURE

For my project, I have been influenced by the Brutalism style architecture. I like this style because it looks raw, unfinished, simple, I like the simplicity of the form, geometry, symmetry.

There is no greater disagreement about the style of architecture in any other style than in Brutalism. some think that this is a soulless piece of concrete that disfigures the environment, some admire the simplicity of the form, the massiveness and brutality. Huge, grey, concrete buildings were constructed in cities all over the world between the 1950s and 1970s. The architects who designed them believed they were building a new form of utopia, despite the fact that many people detested its "inhuman" and oppressive look.

Brutalism is a style that emphasizes building, materials, and textures to create incredibly expressive forms.

 The term was first used in 1953 by Alison Smithson for an unfinished project for a house in Colville Place, Soho. Smithson described the house's warehouse aesthetic of bare concrete, brick, and wood as "the first exponent of the 'new brutalism'" in England. The term is first seen in Le Corbusier's work from the late 1940s with the Unité d'Habitation in Marseilles. However, the uncompromising attitude to the display of the steel and brick structure and its services in Reyner Banham's 1955 study of Alison and Peter Smithson's school at Hunstanton, Norfolk, defined the movement.
