RE: Brutalist Architecture isn't cold, harsh and abstract.

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

The brutalist architecture features visually heavy edifices with bold geometry, solid exposed concrete features, and a predominantly monochrome palette.

These distinctive characteristics of the Brutalist architectural style definitely ring true. Despite being an old design movement in the history of our built environments, architects and designers today have fallen in love with its core concept again. For instance, I have some architect-friends who have revived Brutalism in their practices, not necessarily as a whole but, on some aspects of their various projects.

Well, they say that architecture is comparable to fashion because artistic styles come and go, become trending, lose their appeal, and are revived again. Hence, I would not be surprised if Brutalism would make a grand comeback.

Yes, I think a lot of architects and people still love the core concept of brutalist architecture. I found out an Instagram account, Brutalist Pilipinas, which is a community that that promotes brutalist architectural masterpieces in the Philippines.

I couldn't agree more. Architecture, design and fashion comes and go. We can expect old and deemed unenjoyable design philosophy trends once again. !PIZZA
