Brutalism gets crapped on pretty often as terrible architecture that should be torn down immeadiately (even moreso than Meisian modernism) but I think that thought process is premature in many respects. Brutalist buildings are imposing and help bring an institutional feel to buildings. So, in order to show some love, I'd like people to post thier favorite examples of Brutalist architecture. Mine is the Schmitt Academic Center at DePaul University in Chicago. The Proportions and size of this building is perfect and it's a perfect testament to the Brutalist style.


Heres a render.

Heres it in conjunction with the library.

Kind of looks like Chinese Pavilion at Expo 2010.

For me, the brutalism looks boring when the concrete is hard, heavy, flat; but, when you see designs with concrete fluid, dancing on movement, is when the brutalism turns on epic buldings, interseting for the common people.

Those buildings are kinda interesting, like Porsche headquarter in Italy.

Here's some intriguing brutalist buildings from Australia (we don't really have all that many - I don't think)

In general brutalist buildings are all ugly but special in a way. and in the end thats what counts for me. though theres no need to add more of such buildings to the world´s cities ;)

Yeah, Bratislava has a lot of great brutal modernism.

Actually, the term 'brutalism' doesn't come from brutality, but from "béton brut" - concrete left unfinished or roughly-finished after pouring and left exposed visually. So: I'm sorry Iluminat, that's no Brutalism haha

^^Well at least the podium-entrance is Brutalist (concrete and red brick) as for the "pyramid" part it's more controversial but I would say it gives the right impression, not all Brutalist buildings have exposed concrete:

I wasn't being serious. It's a very uninteresting discussion to start, it seems everybody has a pretty clear image of it, and the Slovak Radio Station fits perfect.

Marina City Towers, Chicago the best brutalist building.

These are all amazing shots guys and all prime examples of brutalism. I my opinion nothing really beats the GENEX TOWER, so ugly yet so iconically beautiful :-)

It has a ruin for years now, but they've declared an architectural monument (it was designed by famous architect vittoriano viganò) and they're restoring it now.
As a bonus track, a less famous but an interesting building with some nice interiors:

San Giovanni Bono church, not so far from Marchiondi-Spagliardi institute:

Still I don't like this style, but I recognize that in its age it has been interesting and original... ;)
