More about the book
"From luxury apartment towers to offices, places of worship to museums, Brutalist architecture is having a 21st-century moment and this book is here to explore the new interpretations of the style. Each chapter is dedicated to a different type of buildings and is introduced with a selection of iconic structures as an essential visual reference for Brutalism's new look. Architects around the world are embracing the principles of Brutalism--simplicity, functionality and rawness--and reimagining them to make buildings that are both sophisticated and stylish, unlike their predecessors. An informative celebration of Brutalist architecture's legacy, this collection is an exciting exploration of how most innovative contemporary designs discover the inherent beauty of powerful concrete volumes."--Publisher's description
