The KICC building in Kenya is a classic example of Brutalist Architecture

Brutalist architecture was a radical new form of Modernism that emerged after World War 2, also coinciding with the independence of many nations like Kenya. The brutalist buildings are/were typically massive, imposing, fortress-like with very pronounced, bare, concrete monstrosity.

The KICC is among 1,100 Brutalist classics from around the world recorded at the SOS Brutalism Database.

The building is also a symbol of Kenya's Independence, besides being one of the most popular buildings from Africa (if not the most), used even by global networks like CNN and BBC as a continental landmark in commercials. It was inspired by African thatched huts, best exemplified by its inner auditorium.

This baby is Brutality exemplified. The building that says, this is Bloody KENYA!
