Materi ALS AND Constructi ON Techni Ques: Brutalist

The document describes the materials and construction techniques of Brutalist architecture. Brutalist buildings have a heavy, exposed concrete structure. The strategy is to integrate access to shared public spaces through a central atrium. Open voids break up the monotony of typical office buildings by providing double-height spaces and staggered sections. Circulation spaces like long staircases and corridors are designed with open plans and stairwells that provide light and views of the city from interior voids.
