An authoritative overview of an increasingly popular period of British
architecture from a leading architectural historian.
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.
