brutalism
This term describes a specific architectural and aesthetic movement that values the raw, honest expression of materials, most notably raw concrete (béton brut). It is often associated with a sense of monumentalism, austerity, and a rejection of bourgeois decorative styles. Because of its stark appearance, the term frequently carries a polarizing connotation, ranging from a celebration of structural integrity to a perception of coldness or oppressive urbanism.
In a broader artistic or philosophical sense, the term refers to a commitment to transparency and the removal of artifice. It suggests a preference for the "truth" of a medium over the illusion of beauty, making it a term of technical and critical analysis rather than a general description of cruelty or brutality.
Meanings
