Originating from the French word béton brut – translated as rough concrete – it is characterized by exposed raw concrete forms and strong geometry, and prioritizes function over form. In the 1960s, its influences spread to the then-British-controlled city of Hong Kong. Hong Kong is an urban city undergoing constant and rapid remodelling. As many Brutalist buildings were built before the 1980s [15], many have fallen out of favor due to outdated design and lack of upkeep, and – like other old buildings in the city – inevitably face demolition to make space for the new. There has been a renewed interest in this style of architecture in the last decade, with the public and social media attempting to document the building that are still left standing. In a fast-changing city like Hong Kong, this becomes all the more urgent. Europeana Specific elements of the Europeana Semantic Elements.
