From concrete<\/a> council housing to monumental theatres<\/a>, Brutalist London documents the myriad examples of brutalism<\/a> in the UK<\/a> capital. Here, author Owen Hopkins selects seven of his favourites featured in the book<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Published by Blue Crow Media<\/a>, Brutalist London includes photography by Nigel Green<\/a> of over 50 post-war concrete buildings, from significant civic buildings to everyday homes, schools and libraries.<\/p>\n

Hopkins hopes that the Brutalist London book will introduce readers to the myriad forms of London<\/a>‘s brutalist architecture and shines a spotlight on their architects.<\/p>\n

“There are, the book shows, lots of ways to be brutalist,” Hopkins told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“Looking across the 58 buildings as a whole, I’m always struck by the range of forms, scales and even materials \u2013 not just concrete, but brick and even timber,” he continued.<\/p>\n

“I hope the book will expand readers’ understandings of both what brutalism is and the different roles it plays in the city.”<\/p>\n
