Full Description
People associate the term Brutalism with concrete and, in the UK, with the Welfare State - just one thin slice of the Brutalist canon. Brutalism is not a style. It reveals enduringarchitectural ideas and interests that have emerged at different times and indifferent places, prompted by social and political ideals and technologicalconditions.Richly illustrated with unique, high-quality photographs, this book explores Brutalism throughthe lens of twelve distinct, occasionally competing, definitions, as a living and evolving entity. Redefining Brutalism offers insight into how thesebuildings were designed and constructed, their underlying social contexts, andhow Brutalism triggered various other movements such as High-tech and Postmodernism. Thisbook is a lens through which to see the present as much as the past.
