Brutalism has a more primitive approach to design and puts the focus back into the very core of web design: its code. Brutalism is often depicted as an ugly design trend, but we have to look past that. The philosophy behind the brutalist movement is not to make things ugly, but raw and unadorned.

Brutalism is a style with an emphasis on materials, textures and construction, producing highly expressive forms.

Think monochromatic schemes, muted earth tones, and pops of bold accent colors. Use color strategically to highlight key elements and create a sense of contrast and hierarchy. Use texture: Brutalist design loves texture!

Brutalist architecture, born in the mid-20th century, serves as the primary influence for Neo Brutalism in UI design. The raw, rough aesthetics, bold typography choices, and emphasis on functionality inspires and influences user experience designers to translate these elements into digital interfaces.

Critics of the style find it unappealing due to its cold appearance, projecting an atmosphere of totalitarianism, as well as the association of the buildings with urban decay due to materials weathering poorly in certain climates and the surfaces being prone to vandalism by graffiti.

The brutalist style can apply to web design too. Itʼs gained popularity in recent years as a reaction to the increasing sameness of modern websites. Brutalist websites incorporate bold imagery, stark color contrast, and unconventional visual methods to create a unique experience.

The term originates from the use, by the pioneer modern architect and painter Le Corbusier, of ʼbeton brutʼ raw concrete in French. Banham gave the French word a punning twist to express the general horror with which this concrete architecture was greeted in Britain.
