They were built by people who had just been through a world war. I bet that had something to do with the brutalist adoption in the post-ww2 period.

Well, as far as I know the term brutalism comes from the French 'béton brut' which means 'bare/raw concrete' so looking at it, it would be considered brutalism.

There are lots of brutalist buildings here in Spain, specially in Universities and apartment buildings built during the 50s and 60s.

I don't have hi-res pics in my computer, but I'll try to take some.

This is the faculty of Medicine of the University of Oviedo (Asturias, Spain).

Does it have any structural advantages over traditional buildings or is it basically the same but unpainted?

Is there a thing such as a fully steel building? I realize how inefficient and expensive it'd be but just curious, I imagine properly treated steel can last thousands of years and the worst catastrophes, other than fires of course.
