I’m not sure if this is Brutalist but I see this building everyday going to work and it’s the only good part about my commute and resembles what I see here so I thought someone might enjoy it

Abou-Jaoudé & Tabet Building in Jal el Dib, Lebanon (c. 1970s-1980s)

A striking example of raw, geometric concrete architecture located in Jal el Dib, Lebanon. The Abou-Jaoudé & Tabet Building features layered cantilevered beams and heavy industrial textures, the building's distinctive design heavily mirrors the late modernist architectural boom that shaped Greater Beirut in the latter half of the 20th century. Today, the building serves as a prominent local landmark, housing spaces like Wild Willy’s Toy Store and the React Private Fitness Studio.

Architect: Unknown.

Before I had seen pictures of this place that never impressed me a lot, but I found visiting the original Unité d'habitation very interesting. There are indoor streets on the third and fourth floor with shops and hospitality, a school and an open rooftop with great views.

What are key descriptors to describe brutalist architecture?

Post image
43 Upvotes

I was in Boston last month and loved seeing the city hall and Charles F Hurley building because to me they are brilliant examples of Brutalism.

When someone asked me what made them good examples I stumbled a little but said

  1. The feeling of top heavy weight being suspended almost impossibly.
  2. The effort gone into making the concrete - all patterns and ridges are typically added after casting (otherwise it would just be smooth) so someone has gone to a lot of effort to shape the concrete.
  3. Function and Form - People’s use and experience of the building was not just an afterthought. Staircases on the Charles Hurley building flowed around the building and looked to be part of the structure rather

    than just added because they had to be.

But not sure what else people appreciate about Brutalism or if what i was saying was a bit wrong?

A bit meta perhaps - but much of the content here seems to be concrete related rather than proper brutalism... so not properly brutalism, but a 1960's concrete fence around a Slovak graveyard in cross shapes.

Completed in 1979 and 75 meters (246 feet) tall, it is actually supposed to be modernist, but it really fits the vibes for me. Tell me if it doesn't belong here.
