GOTTFRIED BÖHM 🇩🇪 (1920-2021) Brutalist, controversial and provocative architecture. 🏛️ #architecture #archilovers #design #archdaily #brutalism

Absolutely yes! The iconic Mariendom in Velbert-Neviges by Gottfried Böhm. Unapologetically brutalist, this church completed in 1968 is a must-see for every raw concrete fan ❤️ #brutalism #brutalismus #architecture #architektur #brutalistarchitecture #travel #concrete #architecturephotography #Neviges #travelphotography #Germany

St. Matthäus and St. Hildegardis Parish by Gottfried Böhm, 1970, Düsseldorf-Garath. Brick ground floor, exposed concrete above, with turret-like towers and rounded crenellated walls that reference medieval castle architecture. The chapel St. Hildegardis is a miniature of Böhm’s signature concrete rock, most fully realised at the Pilgrimage Church in Neviges. @maynardarchitect @kevinhui_archimarathon #archimarathon #gottfriedbohm #brutalism #churcharchitecture #dusseldorf @jugend.st.matthaeus

Welcome to Mariendom, Velbert, Germany. 🇩🇪 Definitely one of the most impressive brutalist structures ever. Save the spot and share with your friends! #brutalistarchitecture #brutalist_architecture #brutalistgermany #gottfriedböhm

I hope it’s not rude to say that a church is cool, but this one really felt so special ❤️ The colours, the shapes, the warm bricks, the comfy chairs, and construction started in 1969! That’s fascinating, as it’s brutalism with postmodern elements, even though postmodernism wasn’t really a thing in architecture yet back then. Gottfried Böhm once again showing his immense talent 🧱 Oh, and which church is it actually? St Matthäus in Düsseldorf Garath. Matthäus is my name translated to German, another reason for me to love this place 😍 #Düsseldorf #architecture #architektur #church #brutalism #brutalismus #postmodernism #architecturephotography #travel #gottfriedböhm #Germany

Brutalist Architects You Must Know. Part 1. Claude Parent, a key figure in French brutalism, explored the concept of the « oblique function, » transforming architecture into a dynamic space. His massive, slanted buildings, like the Sainte-Bernadette church in Nevers, challenge spatial conventions, creating an intense physical experience. Gottfried Böhm, a German master of brutalism, merges angular forms with poetry. His works, like the Neviges pilgrimage church, blend raw concrete with expressionism, creating monumental spaces where spirituality and structural intensity converge. 📸 Credits: Eric Rohmer, Claude Lechevalier / Fonds Claude Parent, Laurent Kronental, Gilles Ehrmann, Gottfried Böhm Scholarship, Inge und Arved von der Ropp / Irene und Sigurd Greven Stiftung, Uwe Aranas, Arquine. #architecture #brutalism #design #brutalistarchitecture

Il brutalismo in Germania viene sempre associato alla figura di Gottfried Böhm, architetto tedesco che, attraverso le sue opere, fu in grado di concretizzare il sentimento di ricostruzione e di rinascita che caratterizzava la Germania nel periodo successivo al secondo conflitto mondiale. Degli oltre 70 edifici di culto realizzati da Böhm nel corso della sua lunga e prolifica carriera (la stragrande maggioranza dei quali in patria), io sono riuscito recentemente a visitare la Chiesa di Sant’Ignazio, a Francoforte (1963-64). Si tratta di un’opera dove il cemento, che è il materiale principale, viene modellato fino a creare uno spazio che richiama, come forma, una tenda. All’interno vi è un forte contrasto tra le finestre colorate, sottili e trasparenti, e le pareti di calcestruzzo, che invece sono grigie e massicce. Come in ogni sua opera, anche in questo caso Böhm disegna non soltanto la struttura ma anche tutti gli elementi di dettaglio dell’edificio (persino le maniglie delle porte), andando così a dare una decisa impronta scultorea al risultato finale. Definire Gottfried Böhm brutalista è estremamente riduttivo, in quanto egli di fatto non segue alcuno stile preesistente né tantomeno è pioniere di qualche nuova corrente. Si tratta di un architetto che è contemporaneamente di transizione e fuori dal tempo e dalla storia architettonica; definito da uno dei più importanti quotidiani tedeschi “l’architetto di Dio che plasma il cemento in maniera spettacolare”. #gottfriedböhm #böhm #jesuitchurchofstignatius #brutalism #brutalist #brutalistarchitecture #brutal_architecture #architecture #contemporaryarchitecture #archdaily #archilovers #architecture_hunter #architecturephotography #brutalismo #architetturabrutalista #architetturacontemporanea #arquitetura #frankfurt #frankfurtammain

This is only a tiny part of the Gottfried Böhm’s Parish of St Matthew precinct (1969). There is a noticeable lack of words available to describe the mastery of what Gottfried Böhm has created here. #Archimarathon #ArchimarathonTour #ArchimarathonGermany25 @archimarathon @kevinhui_archimarathon

Pritzker Prize Winners: 1987–1985 1987 – Hans Hollein An Austrian architect known for expanding architecture beyond buildings into design, theory, and exhibition spaces. His work explored symbolism, materiality, and the idea that architecture could operate across many scales. 1986 – Gottfried Böhm A German architect recognized for his sculptural churches and civic buildings. His architecture often combined concrete, brick, glass, and dramatic forms to create spaces with a strong sense of monumentality and place. 1985 – Kenzo Tange A Japanese architect who helped define postwar modern architecture in Japan. His work merged modernist planning, structural clarity, and Japanese spatial traditions, shaping some of the most influential civic and cultural buildings of the 20th century. 📸 Photo credits: Ralph Morse, R.
