Editing Brutalism and Concrete (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''Brutalism''' — A style of architecture (1950s-70s) characterized by "Large, Blocky Forms," "Raw Materials," and "Visible Structures."
* '''Béton Brut''' — "Raw Concrete": concrete that is "Left Unfinished" after the "Wooden Molds" (Formwork) are removed, "Revealing" the "Grain of the Wood."
* '''Structural Honesty''' — The "Ethics" of showing "How the Building Works" (e.g., 'Exposed Pipes,' 'Visible Beams').
* '''Social Housing''' — The "Primary Goal" of many Brutalists: building "High-Quality," "Dense" "Apartments for the Working Class" (e.g., 'Socialist' or 'Welfare State' projects).
* '''Monumentalism''' — The use of "Massive Scale" to create a "Feeling of Awe and Permanence" (e.g., 'National Libraries' or 'Government Buildings').
* '''Unité d'Habitation''' — Le Corbusier’s "Vertical City": an apartment block with "Internal Streets," "Shops," and "Gardens," designed to be a "Self-Contained Community."
* '''Modular Coordination''' — Using "Standardized Units" (The 'Modulor') based on "Human Proportions" to design spaces.
* '''Rough-Hewn''' — The "Texture" of Brutalism: "Hard," "Grey," and "Tactile," "Rejecting" the "Smooth Glass" of the International Style.
* '''The 'Streets in the Sky' ''' — The "Idea" of "Elevated Walkways" in apartment blocks to "Replace" "Traditional Streets."
* '''Post-War Reconstruction''' — The "Context": Brutalism provided a "Fast," "Cheap," and "Powerful" way to "Rebuild" Europe after the "Destruction of WWII."
