Béton brut

Béton brut, meaning "raw concrete" in French, is an architectural style characterized by exposing the natural surface of concrete. It emphasizes the material's texture, imperfections, and structure rather than covering it with finishes or décor. This approach highlights the workmanship and raw beauty of concrete, often used in modernist architecture to convey honesty, simplicity, and strength. Béton brut is recognized for its rough, unfinished look, showcasing the formwork patterns and aggregate within the concrete, creating an aesthetic that celebrates industrial materials and straightforward construction techniques.
