As huge concrete enthusiasts, we’re eagerly anticipating the release of a new book by Barnabas Calder entitled Raw Concrete: The Beauty of Brutalism. Calder, an esteemed Architectural Historian, puts forward a forceful case for recognising Brutalism not merely as a worthy and interesting style, but as the best architecture there has ever been, and maybe the best there ever will be.
Available through the RIBA Bookshop.
