Water tower

Brno-Kohoutovice, Czech Republic

Exterior only

Visible from the street; the inside is private.

This 30-metre water tower in Brno-Kohoutovice, Czech Republic, completed in 1973, exemplifies brutalist architecture through its bold use of reinforced concrete. The structure's stark, sculptural form reflects the aesthetic principles of 1970s Czechoslovak functionalism, prioritizing utilitarian design and structural expression over ornamental detail.
