Concrete Architecture – Between Brutalism, Modernity, and Light
Concrete is more than just a construction material: it is an expressive medium, capable of conveying monumentality, geometric precision, and even poetry. This tag brings together a selection of
iconic concrete buildings from the 20
th century, where
modern architecture reveals its full formal power. Whether churches, cultural centers, or civic structures, each featured building embodies a
bold architectural vision, driven by the architects and engineers of its time.
Through
architectural photography, these spaces become the stage for shadows, dynamic lines, and sculpted volumes. From
Notre-Dame du Raincy to
Saint-Joseph in Le Havre, from the
brutalist masterpiece in Royan to the spectacular vaulted space of the
CNIT in La Défense, each photo essay explores the connection between
structure, light, and visual emotion.
These articles are intended for enthusiasts of
contemporary architecture,
urban design, and
20th-century heritage, as well as for those curious about the often-overlooked beauty of
raw concrete.
