The New Brutalism

This book defines ‘Brutalist’ architecture more widely than is currently in vogue.
An Amazon review: “Banham writes with key insider knowledge about the origin and development of New Brutalist architecture. He doesn’t mean the gloriously made poured-concrete hulks that have largely been dynamited, but the ubiquitous glass-and-steel office rectangles (dimensions of a pack of cards) that litter most post-50’s British town centres, reskinned in ugly cladding, swathed in phone masts, untenanted and awaiting demolition.
This is the story of their day in the sun.”
