The Boston City Hall is one of the veryfirst effort to bring Le Corbusier's idea intoAmerican's vision. As you might have heard about the matter that influenced the trend of modernism and thetrend that actually alter our way of thinking towards'machine-like' asthetic. The City Hall was made of apure, brutal and unfinished concrete, emphasizing its gigantic formal expression in the way people woulddefinately recognize its existance by just standing infront of it. It's called 'expression' architecture. In the era of industralization, it was a need to disclose manners of decoration and concealed values ofmaterials. It is convinced that Boston City Hal lachieved that in term of following what the greateuropean like Corbusier had stepped on.
