Raw concrete in Le Corbusier's work

unité d'habitation (Marseille, France) and couvent la Tourette (Eveux-sur-l'Abresle, France)
Raw concrete is a way to use concrete in architecture: the surface is not covered by a layer of plaster or other materials, to put in evidence the structure of building.
This type of architecture developed in France with the current of the Brutalism, whit the figure of the architect Le Corbusier, who used raw concrete for many of his works.
We can find some examples of his architectures in the pictures above.
