Brutalism is an architectural style characterized by a deliberate plainness, crudity, and transparency that can often be interpreted as austere and menacing. It emerged in the mid-20th century and gained popularity in the late 1950s and 1960s.

Brutalism is a utilitarian aesthetic movement that shuns decoration in favor of exposing and celebrating the raw materials used to construct the design. It largely had its heyday in the architecture of the 1950s to 1970s, but it has recently seen a resurgence in modern digital design.

Brutalism is a style of architecture that lasted from the 1950s to the 1970s, characterized by simple, block-like, hulking concrete structures. Emerging from the modernist movement of the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, it originated in England and spread to the rest of the world shortly after. It's an offshoot of modernism.
