brutalismo
  25

Architectural style that is characterized by its repetitive modular design and finish made with raw materials such as concrete, steel, exposed brick, large glazed surfaces. The name comes from the English brutalism, used in his work by the writer Peter Reyner Banham, who was inspired by the phrase béton brut ("raw concrete") with which the Franco-Swiss architect Le Corbusier described the most characteristic material of the movement.
