I asked Toledano to expand on the school of Brutalism; I wanted to know exactly how it related to the B/1 design. "It's about hard lines and a play on light and shadow, both of which are used to create geometric forms," he said. link "Brutalist architecture is, at its essence, massive minimalist sculptural forms. link Look at the Barbican Center in London or Boston City Hall. They are these massive link kinds of concrete forms, but ultimately incredibly sculptural through the use of surface and shadow."
