Brutalist Buildings in Montreal
Howdy!
I’m not entirely clear on the definition of Brutalist as an architectural term. I know it comes from béton brut, but like many things has taken on other meanings depending on who is speaking. Anyhows, I saw this photo essay on Brutalist buildings in Montreal which only dealt with the low hanging fruit, made me think that I could start taking some snapshots of the lesser known ones. And here you go.
