Identifikasi Langgam Arsitektur Brutalisme Pada Bangunan Geisel Library

Abstract

The development of architectural styles continues to change from time to time. Modern architecture is one of the phenomenal architectural styles because it is the turning point of major changes in classical architecture that has existed for thousands of years. There are several factors that triggered the emergence of modern architecture, namely the result of the industrial revolution in Europe and also the emergence of boredom and dissatisfaction of architectural artists at that time against classical architecture. Just like classical architecture, modern architecture is also divided based on its respective styles and characteristics. The indicators used in analyzing architectural styles can be in the form of material selection, material characteristics, structures, floor plans, building forms, and others. This study will focus on finding out what architectural styles are contained in the selected building object, namely the Geisel Library. The Geisel Library is a library building that is located and at the same time an icon of the University of California. The Geisel Library was chosen because of the unique shape and characteristics of the building and the lack of journals regarding the analysis of its architectural style. Methods of collecting data from research using literature studies from previous journals and building observations from the internet. The results of the research will be explained in a qualitative descriptive manner, presented in writing and tables and percentage calculations. The results of the analysis and literature of modern architectural styles, the selected building objects tend to lead to a style of brutalism accompanied by a functional and futuristic style.
