A defining work of American Brutalism

Boston City Hall opened in 1968, designed by Kallmann, McKinnell & Knowles. Its stepped concrete volumes express the different scales of civic life: public gathering below, government offices above. The building remains one of the most discussed examples of Brutalist architecture in the United States.

This miniature turns that muscular composition into a study object for the home. Its layered form rewards close viewing and speaks to the enduring debate around public architecture and concrete.

For Brutalism enthusiasts

Pair it with books on postwar architecture or use it as a compact sculptural statement on a work desk.
