Description

Brutalist London is a photographic exploration of the post-war modernist architecture of London, casting the city in a new light through unique and evocative images.

Organised by inner London Borough, the book takes in famous examples such as the Trellick Tower, the Brunswick Centre and the Alexandra Road Estate, as well as lesser-known housing and municipal spaces. This collection invites readers to look differently at buildings they may see every day, and to seek out celebrated Brutalist architecture across the capital.

With its portable size and maps for each borough, Brutalist London is a practical and useful guide. The design echoes the aesthetic of Brutalist architecture, with rough textured edges and fonts inspired by the site maps of modernist estates.
