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 enduring architectural
ideas and interests that have emerged at different times and in
different places, prompted by social and political ideals and
technological conditions. Richly illustrated with unique,
high-quality photographs, this book explores Brutalism through the
lens of twelve distinct, occasionally competing, definitions, as a
living and evolving entity. Redefining Brutalism offers insight
into how these buildings were designed and constructed, their
underlying social contexts, and how Brutalism triggered various
other movements such as High-tech and Postmodernism. This book is a
lens through which to see the present as much as the past.
