The Temple Street Garage was designed by Paul Rudolph, a major modernist architect, as an innovative folded-concrete parking garage.

the building

Folded concrete form. The garage is built as an innovative folded-concrete structure, giving it a sculptural concrete facade visible from the sidewalk — an unusual architectural treatment for a parking garage.

the style

Brutalism (c. 1950–1980): Monumental raw concrete: repeated modular units, deep-set windows, and fortress-like massing.
