Join
SAH/SCC for the definitive look at one of the most polarizing of styles:
Brutalism. In his new book, The
Brutalists: Brutalism’s Best Architects (Phaidon, 2023).
Featuring
more than 250 historic and contemporary architects along with specially
selected examples of their work, this book includes international icons
alongside those who are less well known or who have for too long been
neglected, providing a unique record of this influential global architecture
movement. The book includes 350 stunning images of more than 200 iconic
Brutalist buildings, alongside fresh and surprising masterworks from 1936 to
the present day, creating the ultimate companion to the Brutalist masters.
