From luxury apartment towers to offices, places of worship to
museums, brutalist architecture is having a 21st-century moment-
and this book is here to explore the new interpretations of the
style. Designed with the same bold aesthetic that informed Le
Corbusier himself, this book features fifty recent examples of how
architects around the world are embracing the principles of
brutalism - simplicity, functionality, and rawness - reimagining
them for today's standards and tastes. Drawing from the radical
approach of the controversial architectural movement, today's
Brutalist buildings are both sophisticated and elegant. As the
hundreds of exterior and interior photos in this book reveal,
architects have taken advantage of new technology to make
concrete-based structures that are refined and alluring, as well as
stylish and modish unlike their predecessors. Each chapter is
dedicated to a different type of building and is introduced with a
selection of iconic structures as an essential visual reference for
Brutalism's new look. In some instances the overall strength of the
aesthetic is paired with equally forceful materials such as glass,
metal and brick; other examples show how classically brutalist
lines are integrated into generously proportioned, light-filled
spaces. An informative celebration of Brutalist architecture's
legacy, this book is an exciting exploration of how today's most
innovative architects are discovering the inherent beauty of
powerful concrete volumes that was at the heart of Le Corbusier's
original vision.
