To highlight the style's strenghts and features, we run each SREF code through a set of 16 standardized prompts—Midlibrary Benchmark. Each prompt demonstrates how the SREF ”behaves“ in various domains of visual art/applications.
Brutalism is an architectural style that emerged in the mid-20th century, characterized by its stark, geometric forms and the use of raw concrete. It was prominent from the 1950s to the 1970s, often associated with urban renewal and social housing projects. The style is known for its emphasis on functionality and its monumental, imposing structures that often feature exposed concrete surfaces and a lack of decorative elements.
Brutalism's Midjourney style representation captures the essence of this architectural movement through a series of monochrome images showcasing bold, geometric structures. The compositions emphasize mass and angular forms, with strong verticals and interlocking volumes. The grayscale color palette highlights the raw, textured surfaces of concrete, creating a stark and industrial atmosphere. Each image presents an urban landscape dominated by monumental and imposing buildings, reflecting the architectural principles of Brutalism.
