Built in 1967 by Mart Kamerling, the Nijlpaardenhuis (Hippopotamus House) stands within Amsterdam's Artis zoo as a striking example of brutalist architecture. Constructed of concrete and wood, the building exemplifies the bold, fortress-like aesthetic characteristic of the brutalist movement, with its raw material expression and sculptural massing designed to integrate with its animal-focused institutional setting.
