# Brutalist Architecture Photography These Images Show Concrete Architecture From Around the World By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-07-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brutalist-architecture-photography References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/en/2016/07/06/superb-brutalist-architecture-in-black-and-white/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [thisbrutalhouse](http://www.thisbrutalhouse.com/) Peter Chadwick's brutalist architecture photography has been published in a book that captures similar structures from all over the world. The [brutalist architecture movement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jean-verville) was most prominent in the mid 1950's to the mid 1970's and gained popularity because it was inexpensive, unpretentious and defined as "forward thinking" in its design. While not necessarily beautiful, the brutalist architecture photography captured by Chadwick is captivating in a more severe and powerful way. The photography shows how internationally popular this architecture movement was at the time -- designs from the U.S., the Netherlands, Brazil and Mexico are all featured. These [black and white images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alastair-philip-wiper) capture the effects of culture, economic ups and downs, and anti-bourgeois sentiments of the time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Brutalist Architecture:** Opportunity for exploring the revival of brutalist architecture in modern design and construction. - **Architectural Photography:** Potential for incorporating unique perspectives and techniques in capturing architectural structures. - **International Architecture:** Opportunity for studying and showcasing diverse architectural styles and influences from around the world. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture:** Potential for architects to embrace the bold and utilitarian principles of brutalist design. - **Publishing:** Opportunity for publishers to curate and promote coffee table books showcasing unique architectural photography. - **Tourism:** Potential for creating architectural tourism experiences centered around brutalist landmarks and cities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Brutalist Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mohmaya.md) - [Brutalist Mexican Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brutalist-mexican-hotel.md) - [Brutalist-Inspired Sleek Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b1.md) - [Brutalist Minimal Apartment Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fj-apartment.md) - [Architecturally Influenced Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-brutalist-speaker.md) - [Brutalist Jungle Sanctuaries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-dessarzin-jungle-sanctuary.md) - [Brutalist Concrete Tower Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trellick-tower.md) - [Industrial Architecture-Themed Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrial-archaeology.md) - [Brutalist Converted Learning Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archipelago.md)
