Talk:List of Brutalist structures

Brutalist structures edit

Charles de Gaulle Terminal 1 doesn't seem to be on anyones list, but I believe it does qualify. It has an imposing facade of raw concrete, with expose concrete structural elements both exterior and interior.

Isn't the National Gallery of Australia a brutalist structure?--Grahame (talk) 02:36, 22 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yes. Feel free to add it. SethTisue (talk) 12:58, 22 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Shouldn't the list be arranged geographically? edit

Well, shouldn't it? I mean, isn't that the way the reader would be better served? BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 06:09, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Brutalist Structures in Africa edit

Hey all, I noticed the section on brutalist structures in Africa is empty. If brutalism is characterized by its use of "rough surfaces, massive forms, and unusual shapes" as well as the time period, then there are a couple buildings that seem to fit the bill in parts of Africa.

There's this one: La Pyramide (1973) in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, by Rinaldo Olivieri

Here's a link to the wiki article: La Pyramide (building) The article doesn't specify that it's a brutalist structure, but given that it was built in 1973 and it... looks the way it looks, I think it qualifies.

Here's an image of La Pyramide: http://www.alluringworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/2-Pyramide-700x440.jpg


There's also this one: Kenyatta International Convention Centre in Nairobi, Kenya. It was built in 1973 as well. Both the Kenyatta International Convention Centre and La Pyramide fall under the umbrella of "African Modernism" but Brutalism is a subset of Modernism so there's some overlap there and I think these structures qualify. Especially the interior shots of the Kenyatta Convention Centre. HerpesSimplexOyster (talk) 22:36, 2 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

FYI, I'm just gonna add them. If anyone disagrees you can remove the links. HerpesSimplexOyster (talk) 22:38, 2 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Should the Federal Reserve Bank building in Boston be on here? edit

The article for the building itself lists the architectural style as "Modernism" Schvaxet (talk) 15:46, 7 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
