Brutalist architecture is more popular now than ever. This beautifully photographed book looks at Britain's finest brutalist buildings from the 1950s to the 1970s, featuring imposing and dramatic public buildings--like London's National Theatre and Liverpool's Metropolitan Cathedral--along with lesser-known buildings such as Arlington House on Margate's seafront, as well as houses and flats, shops, markets, town centers, and more. This book provides a fascinating overview of a postwar urban landscape, while an introduction places British brutalism within the context of global events and contemporary world architecture.
