Summary

"Brutalist architecture inspires a passionate response, be it adulation or contempt. There is no disputing, however, that the style produces some of the world's most breathtaking buildings. This landmark volume documents the movement as never before, by profiling the architects behind the style. Featuring more than 250 historic and contemporary architects (organised alphabetically) along with specially selected examples of their work, this book includes international icons alongside those who are less well known or who have for too long been neglected, providing a unique record of this influential global architecture movement. The book includes 350 stunning images of more than 200 iconic Brutalist buildings, alongside fresh and surprising masterworks from 1936 to the present day, creating the ultimate companion to the Brutalist masters. Featured architects include: John Andrews; Joao Batista Vilanova Artigas; Lina Bo Bardi; Bogdan Bogdanovic; Marcel Breuer; Douglas Cardinal; Andre-Jacques Dunoyer de Segonzac; Bertrand Goldberg; ErnQ Goldfinger; Jadwiga Grabowska-Hawrylak; Agust̕n Hernandez Navarro; John M.
