The French Brutalist style, known as "Brutalism", is an architectural movement that emerged in the 1950s and 1970s. It is characterized by massive structures made of raw concrete, raw wood, and raw natural materials, often with bold geometric shapes and a monolithic appearance. The term "brutalist" derives from the French word "brut", meaning "raw" or "raw", referring to the unfinished concrete used in these constructions.
Characteristics of French Brutalism:
Materials:
- Predominant use of raw concrete.
- Sometimes, other materials such as wood, brick, or glass are incorporated.
Aesthetics:
- Robust and monumental appearance.
- Often heavy structures with a sense of weight and solidity.
- Exposure of structural elements and natural textures of materials.
Forms and Design:
- Simple, repetitive geometric forms.
- Open, flexible plans.
Functionality:
- Functional, utilitarian design.
- Emphasis on durability and longevity of structures.
Iconic Architects and Works:
- Le Corbusier: One of the central figures of the movement, although his work is often categorized under several styles, he contributed to Brutalism with works such as the Unité d'Habitation in Marseille.
- Paul Rudolph: Although American, his concepts influenced Brutalism in France.
- Georges-Henri Pingusson: Known for the Cité des Étoiles, a prominent example of French Brutalism.
Impact and Criticism:
Brutalism has had a significant impact on contemporary architecture, although it has been criticized for its austere and sometimes inhuman appearance. In the 1970s and 1980s, the movement declined in popularity, but has recently seen a resurgence of interest in its simplicity and material honesty.
The Brutalist style remains a defining architectural expression, exemplifying an era in modern architecture where form and function were closely intertwined.
