Description
No modern architectural movement has aroused so much awe - and so much ire -as Brutalism. This is architecture at its most assertive: compelling, distinctive, sometimes terrifying. This inspiring and informative photographic survey profiles 50 brutalist buildings around the world, such as Le Corbusier's Unite d’Habitation in Marseille, the Former Whitney Museum in New York, and Preston Bus Station in England. Covering concrete architecture in its most extraordinary forms, it demonstrates how Brutalism has changed our landscapes and informed popular culture.
