Brutalist London is the definitive guide to London's post-war Brutalist architecture, documenting more than fifty buildings across the city.
Written by architectural historian Owen Hopkins and photographed by Nigel Green, Brutalist London examines the development of concrete architecture in the decades following the Second World War. From major civic works such as the Barbican Estate and National Theatre to housing, churches and infrastructure, the book situates these buildings within the social, political and cultural conditions that shaped them.
Spanning a wide range of types and scales, the projects are presented through photography and text that focus on material, form and urban context. Together they offer a clear account of a body of work that continues to define London's architectural landscape.
