CBR Building, Brutalist office building in Watermael-Boitsfort, Belgium.
The CBR Building features a facade of 756 prefabricated oval modules made from white cement concrete across nine floors and two parallel wings.
Architects Constantin Brodzki and Marcel Lambrichs designed this structure between 1967 and 1970 as the headquarters for Belgian cement producer CBR.
The Museum of Modern Art in New York recognized the CBR Building in 1980 as one of 200 structures that exemplified modern architectural innovation.
The building received protected heritage status in 2018, preserving its concrete elements, facade structure, woodwork, stairs, and original furniture pieces.
Each prefabricated concrete module resulted from extensive experimentation at CBR factories, where architects developed methods to create organic shapes in concrete.
