Brutalist architecture is one of the most controversial architecture styles. It began in the years after WWII in Europe before traveling around the world to redefine social housing, college campuses, and government buildings. It aimed to create a utopia for everyone but few saw the vision. Over the years, the style has seen a resurgence in popularity, leading many to wonder what is it about brutalism that people like. Join us as we explore the history of brutalist architecture on ARCHITECTURE 101.
