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.
