For more than thirty years, British photographer Simon Phipps has
been documenting the rebuilding of Britain after the Second World
War through the work of architects. His archive documents Britain's
post-war modernism and new brutalism in architecture and recognises
the architects' enormous contribution to the transformation of the
political and social landscape of the country in the aftermath of
WWII. Significant building on a mass scale was realised and new
building techniques were pioneered alongside innovative layouts,
resulting in buildings of outstanding quality, displaying radical
new forms. The construction ranged from public and private housing,
to schools and universities, churches, museums, galleries,
commercial and, ultimately, entire new towns. This new book
features some 80 of Simon Phipps's photographs of buildings in all
parts of England completed between the 1950s until the 1980s. They
create a confrontation of buildings and architectural fragments,
evoking a distinct atmosphere of brutalism. An essay contextualises
brutalism in architecture from a British perspective and considers
Phipps' contribution to its reception. An illustrated catalogue of
featured buildings provides full details of each item, making the
book also a handy travel guide for architecture lovers and
professionals. This book accompanies the exhibition Finding
Brutalism, at the Museum im Bellpark, Kriens, Switzerland, 26
August to 5 November 2017.
