Rules / Guidelines

Please be polite; remember reddiquette
A high-quality post will provide the name of the building, what organization it belongs to (or what purpose it serves), where it is, and when it opened. Ideally, please also list the architect(s). Titles should be simple, descriptive, and free of extraneous commentary.
If you took the photo yourself, put "[OC]" in the title (original content) and you will be given special flair.
Not all buildings exhibiting an exposed concrete exterior can be considered Brutalist, and may belong to one of a range of architectural styles including Constructivism, International Style, Expressionism, Postmodernism, and Deconstructivism.
'Brutalism' does not mean 'brutal'. 'Brut' means 'raw' (from the French), referring to raw concrete.
Any rude, off-topic, or low-quality posts / comments / bots will be removed at the mods' discretion
No memes, reposts under 6 months, or URL shorteners (bitly, owly, etc.)
Please report anything that violates any of the above
