Textured Surfaces in Shopping Center Architecture

Textured surfaces are a hallmark of Brutalist architecture, giving shopping centers a distinct character. The use of mud and concrete allows for a variety of finishes, from rough to smooth, enhancing the visual appeal of the building. These surfaces can also influence the way light interacts with the structure, creating dynamic shadows and highlights throughout the day, thus enriching the overall shopping experience.

Color Palette for Shopping Centers in Brutalist Style

The color palette used in Brutalist shopping centers significantly influences their overall aesthetic. Plum colors, when paired with the raw textures of concrete and mud, create a striking contrast that enhances the architectural features. This thoughtful use of color not only adds vibrancy to the design but also helps in defining different functional areas within the shopping center.
