Proof of Block

Brutalist architecture in France, prominent in the mid-20th century, is characterized by bold, geometric forms, often using raw, exposed concrete (béton brut).
It emerged as a response to post-war urban development needs, especially in housing and public buildings.
Despite its monumental and sometimes harsh appearance, Brutalism aimed to serve social purposes and create practical, affordable urban spaces.
