4. Brutalism emphasised the use of

A. Steel

Brutalism
Brutalism, also known as Brutalist architecture, is a style that emerged in the 1950s and grew out of the early-20th
century modernist movement. Brutalist buildings are characterised by their massive, monolithic and 'blocky'
appearance with a rigid geometric style and large-scale use of poured concrete.
Some believe that Swiss-French architect Le
Corbusier‘s love of concrete may have
started Brutalism. The Unité d'Habitation in
Marseilles, France was his first project in 10
years, World War II having interrupted his
practice. Completed in 1952 and created as
housing for the working class, Le Corbusier's
design called for a giant reinforced
concrete framework fit with modular
apartments. The mammoth complex, which
could house up to 1,600 people, was largely
devoid of decorative elements and laid the
framework for future Brutalist projects.
