illinois institute of technology in chicago united states is notable as the first completed building in the world to carry the title of new brutalist by its architects 12 19 22 at the time it was described as the most truly modern building in england 23 the term gained increasingly wider recognition when british architectural historian reyner banham used it to identify both an ethic and aesthetic style in his 1955 essay the new brutalism in the essay banham described hunstanton and the soho house as the reference by which the new brutalism in architecture may be defined 13 reyner banham also associated the term new brutalism with art brut and béton brut meaning raw concrete in french for the first time 19 24 25 the best known béton brut architecture is the proto brutalist work of the swiss french architect le corbusier in particular his 1952 unité d habitation in marseille france the 1951 1961 chandigarh capitol complex in india and the 1955 church of notre dame du haut in ronchamp france banham further expanded his thoughts in the 1966 book the new brutalism ethic or aesthetic to characterise a somewhat recently established cluster of architectural approaches particularly in europe 26 in the book banham says that le corbusier s concrete work was a source of inspiration and helped popularise the movement suggesting if there is one single verbal formula that has made the concept of brutalism admissible in most of the world s western languages it is that le corbusier himself described that concrete work as béton brut 12 16 he further states that the words the new brutalism were already circulating and had acquired some depth of meaning through things said and done over and above the widely recognised connection with béton brut the phrase still belonged to the smithsons however and it was their activities above all others that were giving distinctive qualities to the concept of brutalism 12 41 motif edit student dormitory 1971 by georgi konstantinovski in skopje north macedonia tv buildings named for the con crete window frames that resemble tv screens belgrade serbia new brutalism is not only an architectural style it is also a philosophical approach to architectural design a striving to create simple honest and functional buildings that accommodate their purpose inhabitants and location 27 28 stylistically brutalism is a strict modernistic design language that has been said to be a reaction to the architecture of the 1940s much of which was characterised by a retrospective nostalgia 29 peter smithson believed that the core of brutalism was a reverence for materials expressed honestly stating that brutalism is not concerned with the material as such but rather the quality of material 30 and the seeing of materials for what they were the woodness of the wood the sandiness of sand 31 architect john voelcker said that the new brutalism in architecture cannot be understood through stylistic analysis although some day a comprehensible style might emerge 32 supporting the smithsons description of the movement as an ethic not an aesthetic 33 reyner banham felt that the phrase the new brutalism existed as both an attitude toward design and a descriptive label for the architecture itself and that it eludes precise description while remaining a living force he attempted to codify the movement in systematic language insisting that a brutalist structure must satisfy the following terms 1 formal legibility of plan 2 clear exhibition of structure and 3 valuation of materials for their inherent qualities as found 13 also important was the aesthetic image or coherence of the building as a visual entity 13 brutalist buildings are usually constructed with recurring modular elements representing specific functional zones distinctly articulated and grouped together into a unified whole there is often an emphasis on graphic expressions in the external elevations and in the whole site architectural plan in regard to the main functions and people flows of the buildings 34 buildings may use materials such as concrete brick glass steel timber rough hewn stone and gabions among others 8 however due to its low cost raw concrete is often used and left to reveal the basic nature of its construction with rough surfaces featuring wood shuttering produced when the forms were cast in situ 8 examples are frequently massive in character even when not large and challenge traditional notions of what a building should look like with focus given to interior spaces as much as exterior 13 8 a common theme in brutalist designs is the exposure of the building s inner workings ranging from their structure and services to their human use in the exterior of the building in the boston city hall designed in 1962 the strikingly different and projected portions of the building indicate the special nature of the rooms behind those walls such as the mayor s office or the city council chambers from another perspective the design of the hunstanton school included placing the facility s water tank normally a hidden service feature in a prominent visible tower rather than being hidden in the walls hunstanton s water and electric utilities were delivered via readily visible pipes and conduits 13 brutalism as an architectural philosophy was often associated with a socialist utopian ideology which tended to be supported by its designers especially by alison and peter smithson near the height of the style indeed their work sought to emphasize functionality and to connect architecture with what they viewed as the realities of modern life 27 among their early contributions were streets in the sky in which traffic and pedestrian circulation were rigorously separated another theme popular in the 1960s 34 this style had a strong position in the architecture of european communist countries from the mid 1960s to the late 1980s bulgaria czechoslovakia east germany ussr yugoslavia 35 in czechoslovakia brutalism was presented as an attempt to create a national but also modern socialist architectural style such prefabricated socialist era buildings are called panelaky a sub genre of
