Basics
- Also called "brutalism"
- An Architectural Style of very basic, simple buildings
- Often quite "simple" looking, ie can be described by some as a "concrete block"
- Outside of certain exceptions that use the simple geometry, in more complex arrangements (like "Habitat 67" or the Geisel Library) it is often looked on poorly
- May be something to avoid, or at least do the "good" verions
