What Is Neo-Brutalism?

• Some researcher say that, in brutalist style Architecture, where concrete is the basic construction, are often disregarded, as Concrete does not age well. In addition to that, due to various changes of exposure conditions, concrete reacts massive, thus resulting in black spots, growth of fungal insects over them. Thus the changes that occur from the age of construction to the current age, is very massive. This is why protective and appealing coats are applied over the bare concrete blocks, which can protect the building finishes from external effects, also, can be maintained after a certain duration.
• Brutalist Architecture can be very rigid, and it requires external destructive forces, to incur even a slight change within it. Thus it preserves the way the architects design it at the time of construction. Many modern architects, as well as people, has showed it very unappealing, as brutalist Architecture tends to reflect architects choice and feelings, which might be positively or negatively, unlike modern Architecture, which can be changed and renewed anytime with application of little external forces.
• The third reason is the most crucial reason of unpopularity of brutalist Architecture, which can be perhaps said as a philosophical reason. As brutalist Architecture evolved, many architects, following the modern Architecture style, expressed their oppression against it. As brutalist Architecture includes exposure of construction materials, and due to the various unappealing defects of concrete under different weather conditions, many a time it developed black spots and stripes, rusts, strains due to waterlogging, thus indicating a very “cold” appearance. Many modern architects, magazine writers gave brutalist Architecture different unappealing names, such as “cold-hearted”, “hideous", “monstrous”, “a symbol of evil and crudity", “demonic presence in Brutalist Architecture”; and many more. But the main reason can be said as “the concrete does not age well, which instead, decays and crumbles".
