In fairness, I think anything called "brutalist ______" will be more of an analogy than anything. The core of brutalist architecture materials. Brut means concrete. A lot of the abstract/philosphical concepts relate mostly to the material. Brutalism aften aims to be "true" to the concrete. Don't make it look like bricks or wood. Take advantage of its unique abilities to produce different shapes.
You can mimick the look of brutalist architecture and make things look like concrete. But then, you're going explicitely against the "philosphy" by default: don't pretend you're not using concrete.
You can mimic/adopt the philosophy, but then it will not look like brutalism.
- coldtea 9y ago>The core of brutalist architecture materials. Brut means concrete. It means "raw" / unrefined / untreated -- so something like "just the basics" / "rough and ready". Concrete is "beton" and "beton brut" is one type of concrete.

- yoz-y 9y agoBrut un brutalism actually means "raw" (from béton brut - raw concrete). The idea is mainly to use materials as they are, without paint or polish. An equivalent for a website would be to not use css... maybe.
