Barco Law Building, Brutalist university building in Pittsburgh, United States
The Barco Law Building features unrefined concrete surfaces, geometric shapes, and angular forms that define its monumental concrete structure at University of Pittsburgh.
The construction of the Barco Law Building in the late 1960s coincided with a period when universities across the United States adopted modernist architectural principles.
The building contains the Teplitz Memorial Moot Courtroom with oak panels, a seven-seat judges' bench, and a large mosaic by artist Virgil Cantini.
Students at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law access extensive legal resources, including a comprehensive law library within the concrete structure.
The structure displays exposed concrete elements and sharp angles characteristic of post-war institutional architecture, reflecting the raw material aesthetic of brutalism.
