Béton brut

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Béton brut (French: raw concrete), is concrete left unfinished or roughly-finished after pouring and left exposed visually in architecture.

The use of béton brut was pioneered by Auguste Perret and other modern architects and used in such buildings as Unité d'Habitation.
