Brutalist buildings are characterised by Minimalism (art), minimalist constructions that showcase the bare building materials and Structural engineering, structural elements over decorative design.

Railways Of Greece
Rail transport in Greece has a history which began in 1869, with the completion of the then ''Athens & Piraeus Railway.'' From the 1880s to the 1920s the majority of the network was built, reaching its heyday in 1940. From the 1950s onward the railway system entered a period of decline culminating in the service cuts of 2011.
