Introducing Britain's finest examples of brutalist architecture.
Brutalist architecture is more popular now than it has ever been.
Imposing and dramatic, with monolithic concrete exteriors, it forms
an enduring part of our post-war urban landscape. This beautifully
photographed book is an authoritative survey of the finest British
examples from the very late 1950s to the 1970s, from leading
architectural writer Elain Harwood, following on from her acclaimed
books on art deco and mid-century architecture. It features iconic
public buildings like London's National Theatre, imposing housing
such as the Trellick Tower in West London and Park Hill in
Sheffield, great educational institutions including the University
of Sussex, and places of worship such as Liverpool's glorious
Metropolitan Cathedral, along with some lesser-known buildings such
as Arlington House on Margate's sea front. Headed up with an
introduction that places British brutalism within the context of
global events and contemporary world architecture, the huge range
of buildings is arranged into Private Houses and Flats, Public
Housing, Educational Buildings, Public Buildings, Shops, Markets
and Town Centres, Culture and Sport, Places of Worship, Offices and
Industry and Transport, and there is a chapter on the atmospheric
brutalist sculptures and murals that dot our cities. If you're part
of the increasingly large ranks of brutalism fans, or interested in
late 20th-century architecture and society in general, Brutalist
Britain is the book for you.
