What is "structural expressionism"?
Structural expressionism is an architectural style that emphasizes showing the building's structure as part of its design. In this style, the framework, such as steel beams, supports, and columns, is often visible from the outside, highlighting the technical elements of the building. The design often focuses on bold, striking forms and gives importance to how the building's construction is revealed rather than hidden. This approach creates a modern, industrial look that blends function and aesthetics, allowing the structure itself to become a key part of the overall visual impact.
