A landmark survey of one of architecture's most controversial yet
popular styles - in a great, new, classic edition The Brutalist
aesthetic is enjoying a renaissance - and this book documents
Brutalism as never before. In the most wide-ranging investigation
ever undertaken into one of architecture's most powerful movements,
more than 850 Brutalist buildings - existing and demolished,
classic and contemporary - are organized geographically into nine
continental regions. Much-loved masterpieces in the UK and USA sit
alongside lesser-known examples in Europe, Asia, Australia, and
beyond - 102 countries in all, proving that Brutalism was, and
continues to be, a truly international architectural phenomenon.
Includes twentieth-century masters such as Marcel Breuer, Lina Bo
Bardi, Le Corbusier, Carlo Scarpa, Ernoe Goldfinger, Frank Lloyd
Wright, Louis Kahn, and Paul Rudolph. Contemporary architects
featured include Alvaro Siza, Coop Himmelb(l)au, David
Chipperfield, Herzog & de Meuron, Jean Nouvel, SANAA, OMA,
Renzo Piano, Tadao Ando, and Zaha Hadid. Praise for previous
edition: The New York Times Best Art Book of 2018 "Newcomers will
discover the global influence of brutalism, that final age of civic
architectural ambition; true believers can use it to prepare years
of concrete-coated vacations." -The New York Times
