> This coining terms of art thing isn't uncommon. Think "brutalist architecture" and remind yourself its "en brute" == raw from the french. It has nothing to do with how "brutal" people think concrete is.

> The term was coined by the British architectural critic Reyner Banham to describe the approach to building particularly associated with the architects Peter and Alison Smithson in the 1950s and 1960s.The term originates from the use, by the pioneer modern architect and painter Le Corbusier, of ‘beton brut’ – raw concrete in French. Banham gave the French word a punning twist to express the general horror with which this concrete architecture was greeted in Britain.
