Brutalist structures

[edit]

Charles de Gaulle Terminal 1 doesn't seem to be on anyones list, but I believe it does qualify. It has an imposing facade of raw concrete, with expose concrete structural elements both exterior and interior.

Isn't the National Gallery of Australia a brutalist structure?--Grahame (talk) 02:36, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Feel free to add it. SethTisue (talk) 12:58, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the list be arranged geographically?

[edit]

Well, shouldn't it? I mean, isn't that the way the reader would be better served? BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 06:09, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Brutalist Structures in Africa

[edit]

Hey all, I noticed the section on brutalist structures in Africa is empty. If brutalism is characterized by its use of "rough surfaces, massive forms, and unusual shapes" as well as the time period, then there are a couple buildings that seem to fit the bill in parts of Africa.

There's this one: La Pyramide (1973) in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, by Rinaldo Olivieri

Here's a link to the wiki article: La Pyramide (building) The article doesn't specify that it's a brutalist structure, but given that it was built in 1973 and it... looks the way it looks, I think it qualifies.

Here's an image of La Pyramide: http://www.alluringworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/2-Pyramide-700x440.jpg


There's also this one: Kenyatta International Convention Centre in Nairobi, Kenya. It was built in 1973 as well. Both the Kenyatta International Convention Centre and La Pyramide fall under the umbrella of "African Modernism" but Brutalism is a subset of Modernism so there's some overlap there and I think these structures qualify. Especially the interior shots of the Kenyatta Convention Centre. HerpesSimplexOyster (talk) 22:36, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, I'm just gonna add them. If anyone disagrees you can remove the links. HerpesSimplexOyster (talk) 22:38, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Should the Federal Reserve Bank building in Boston be on here?

[edit]

The article for the building itself lists the architectural style as "Modernism" Schvaxet (talk) 15:46, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
