Exploring Texture in Brutalism Style Architecture Design

Texture plays a pivotal role in Brutalism, enhancing the visual and tactile experience of the structures. The use of rough concrete, alongside fabrics that complement the interior, adds depth and interest to spaces. In coastal areas, textures can evoke the natural surroundings, seamlessly blending the building with its environment. By integrating various textures, architects can create a dynamic interplay between light and shadow, making the Brutalist aesthetic even more captivating.
