Changes

Brutalism (named for the ''beton brut'', raw concrete, admired by [[Le Corbusier]]) embodied a return to first principles: raw, undecorated material, typically concrete, left in a rough state with the imprint of wooden shuttering into which the concrete was pouired often visible. Buildings were blocky and lumpish, with symmetry eschewed. At the same time, the Brutalists sought to recreate an 'urbanity', with 'streets' (if often the 'streets in the sky' of slab housing blocks) and public spaces, which they believed the Corbusian vision had abandoned.

Architectural fashions change, and the public disliked brutalist architecture more or less from its inception, so many prime examples of this style have been demolished in recent years.
