Buildings designated brutalist in style were largely built in the 1960s and 1970s, exuding an aura of daring uncompromising design today. It is the French term "brut", meaning raw or unrefined, that lent its name to this particular architectural phenomenon. Viligied for decades as the step-child of modernism, brutalist architecture is now enjoying an astonishing comeback as the latest discovery among digital trendsetters.
