Finding Brutalism

Finding Brutalism: A Photographic Survey of Post-War British Architecture

Simon Phipps

Park Books, 2017

A bold and captivating book that not only pleases the eye but artfully documents the complexity and depth of Brutalist architecture. This book captures nearly 200 of Simon Phipps photographs all over the UK, ranging from public and private housing, to schools and universities, churches, museums, theatres, and even entire new towns. Each photograph captures the fine textures and details of the buildings that surround us in our daily life. Phipps’ photographs also reminds us of the social project of the post-war period that could have continued to thrive. The essays towards the end of the book by Catherine Ince and Owen Hatherley and an interview with Kate Macintosh provides a more insightful background of Phipps and the social history of post-war architecture in the UK. A highly recommended addition to your collection.
