스미슨과 밴함의 뉴 브루탈리즘에 관한 연구 - 다양한 기원과 그 영향을 중심으로 -

Abstract

Today, the expression “Brutalism” in architecture is used in a variety of ways, different from the meaning when it first appeared. The concept of ‘New Brutalism’ developed around the Smithsons in England in the 1950s and became widely known in the essay ‘The New Brutalism’ published in 1955 by Reyner Banham. However, the brutalism we recognize today is more related to Le Corbusier"s concept of exposed concrete, ‘Béton Brut’. The various etymological backgrounds of New Brutalism are the reasons for not clearly recognizing New Brutalism architecture. Therefore, in this paper, we reveal various etymological backgrounds of New Brutalism and then discuss Brutalism as a style that is spread and recognized. Then, it reveals the link between various etymological backgrounds and perceptions of Brutalism as style. In conclusion, the complex etymological background of New Brutalism confuses the essence and argues that the emergence of stylized Brutalism developed around the concept of Béton Brut’
