wiki: >The term originates from the French word for "raw", as Le Corbusier described his choice of material béton brut, raw concrete.

I personally consider this style applies to any building without proper function; no windows, open-plan offices...

Well, then you're basically just mis-using the term.

Brutalist comes from 'raw', not from 'brutal'. Brutalist buildings have windows. And I've yet to see a brutalist open-plan office.
