Decree 1: Brutalist Building Design Principles

As decreed by the great Brutalist Overlord, these principles shall guide you through the labyrinthine world of Brutalist architecture.

Principle 1: Expose the Structure

Show the bones of the building. No fancy facades or pretenses. Let the ductwork and wiring be seen.

Principle 2: Use Unrefined Materials

Concrete. Brick. Steel. Don't bother with fancy materials or finishes. The building should look like it was built by someone who didn't care.

Principle 3: Disregard for Tradition

No curves. No swoops. No frills. Just straight lines and sharp angles.
