Most Popular Brutalist Buildings in the World
1st October 2020 – Many impressive buildings and architectural styles with a historical and interesting past have lost appreciation and admiration in everyday life. Despite this, social media networks have succeeded in the resurgence in popularity of certain architectural styles, particularly with brutalism.
Brutalist architecture emerged during reconstruction projects in the post-war era during the 1950s in Great Britain. The style is often characterised by exposed concrete, modular geometric shapes and utilitarian feel. By the late 1970s brutalist designs fell out of favour, with many people associating the style with urban decay and oppression. Now, with over 869,000 posts on photo sharing platform Instagram, #brutalism is now considered cool again. Popularity of these massive concrete structures has risen greatly, becoming a trend amongst social media users. Musement, the online platform for tours and activities, has compiled a ranking of the most popular on the social platform:
