Title:
Marnix Building
Description:
The Marnix Building, completed in 1969 by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill under Gordon Bunshaft, stands as a powerful statement of modernist concrete architecture in Brussels. Its facade unfolds as a rigorous grid of deeply recessed precast concrete frames that sculpt light and shadow. The strict symmetry and repetition establish a steady rhythm, while the corner perspective reveals the clarity of the building's structural pattern. This photograph simply seeks to highlight the expressive potential of this common yet remarkably versatile material. Brussels, Belgium
