Brutalism is an expressive offshoot of modernism. It does have similarities with other forms of modern expressionism. I've noticed a few examples of modern expressionism posted that aren't examples of Brutalism which could be confusing. The posting of new buildings is expected but, doesn't help either. Yeah, Brutalism didn't die. It evolved into postmodern forms of expressionism.

City Hall is as far from Brutalism as you can get. In the simplest terms, it's the opposite of an ornate, hulking box. It has an interesting massing and the finishes are minimal.
