# WCCChallenge - Brutalism

# Brutalism Reimagined

For this week's Creative Code challenge : Brutalism, I decided to take the rules of brutalism and applied them in the language of OpenSCAD(https://openscad.org/).

I designed a building that follows the rules of Brutalism in both directions as shown in the pics below.

***Brutalism Rules - https://20bedfordway.com/news/guide-to-brutalist-architecture-london***/

1. Rough unfinished surfaces
    
2. Unusual shapes
    
3. Heavy-looking materials
    
4. Massive forms
    
5. Small windows in relation to the other parts
