进行有关世界上最美丽的建筑的对话,可能还有一段时间才提到一个野蛮建筑的榜样。清单上可能有许多法国建筑物凡尔赛宫or something more recent like the圣人大教堂,但勒·科布西耶(Le Corbusier)Unité d'Habitation在马赛中,可能不会排在任何人的名单中。

然而,该建筑于1952年完成,被称为建筑师和设计师的“最重要和鼓舞人心”每日一次。Made of béton-brut concrete, which was inexpensive in post-World War II Europe, the innovative building housed 1,600 individuals and included spaces for dining, shopping and gathering. And its heavy look and raw material established Brutalism, a style that has been fighting for its rightful place in the imagination of architecture lovers ever since.

什么是野蛮主义?

布兰登·巴克(Brandon Buck),里巴·巴克(Riba)和设计总监说,野蛮主义是一种从战后时代出来的建筑风格,由几个关键特征定义,包括大型建筑形式,独特和醒目的形状,厚实的材料以及未完成的表面和材料。全球设计公司珀金斯和威尔。巴克还领导着在伦敦41 Tower Hill的野蛮主义理查德·塞弗特大厦(Richard Seifert)建筑。

是为了野蛮主义的名字而造成的未完成的表面 - 闻名的原始混凝土称为béton brut用法语。该样式主要利用这种裸露的混凝土,有时还使用砖块,并带有单色调色板的覆盖。当然,需要其他建筑中的其他材料,例如钢,木材和玻璃,但它们是次要的。

“I think it's hard not to be impressed with the striking nature of Brutalist architecture," says Buck, who compares the style to walking through a modern art museum — even if you don't love everything, it makes you stop and wonder and feel something.

Brutalism, Popular or Not?

With the understanding that the moniker attached to this 20th-century style of architecture relates to raw concrete rather than it's "brutal" nature, it's curious that it has earned such a negative image.

“If you think about popular culture, there is a raft of movies that painted Brutalist buildings in a bad way because of what was happening around those buildings," Buck says. He cites the housing estate in the film "发条橙“as an example. Uses like this in popular culture have fed into the reputation of Brutalism's, well, brutalness.

In fact, Brutalist buildings are sometimes touted asuglyorhated。但是,重要的是要记住,这种风格具有重要的目的和历史背景。

巴克说:“当时,在60年代初的50年代末,混凝土的成本非常实惠。”在战后时代,能量盈余和劳动力巨大,所以concrete当时感觉像是明智的建筑材料。它在政府和大学结构以及社会住房等权威建筑中变得很受欢迎。

In that era, people liked it. Architects that advocated for the style "sought to project a sense of strength through these large, fortress-like designs," Buck explains.

Yet even with the focus on sensibility and authority, Brutalist architecture had a softer side in that it displayed the rawness and imperfections of handmade items.

“这re is something very human about that," says Buck.

Brutalism for Home Décor and Interiors

If you're looking to incorporate Brutalist style into your life, you don't have to move to a mid- to late-20th century building to do it. Home décor influenced by Brutalist ideas is readily available. A piece of Brutalist-inspired sculpture might also do the trick.

巴克说:“人们的家中和办公空间有一种兴趣和吸引力。”

金库explains that today's Brutalist interiors begin with a large textured base and maintain an emphasis on natural materials. What's new is that polished and chrome metallics may be added. The clean shapes and forms present a good juxtaposition against other palettes that are more colorful or include things like brass and copper, Buck explains.

“这tone of the concrete and its imperfections go well with other material palettes from an interior design perspective," he says.

Is Brutalism Making a Resurgence?

After falling out of favor in the 1980s, partially due to its association with totalitarianism, writes杰西卡·斯图尔特(Jessica Stewart)— think社会主义现代主义— Brutalism appears to be making a comeback. It's not that new Brutalist buildings are popping up like it's the 1960s, but rather existing structures are getting a second look and being enhanced, refurbished and retrofit.

“That's really a big movement right now," says Buck. The solid structure of Brutalist buildings is often compatible with adding several stories, so today's architects can keep the essence of a building and provide a better feel and environment that feeds into the community.

他说:“人们现在看到了野蛮主义的优点,并以不同的方式使用了其中一些特征。”

在许多野蛮的建筑中,与混凝土跨度成比例地将窗帘最小化或最小化,因此通常增强了一个增强功能以​​增加开口的大小。这是有争议的2018 Cooper随身更新到Marcel Breuer设计的目标之一亚特兰大中部图书馆。Buck称,外观的重叠也可以用于改善建筑物的性能,以控制热量或增益。

Thanks to the combination of their initial functionality, their structural soundness and connection with many important architects, Brutalist buildings are experiencing a revival in this century. Like it or not.

巴克说:“它们确实很醒目。”“他们确实倾向于要求回应。”
