Thi s beautifully photographed book looks at Britain’s finest brutalist buildings from the 1950s to the 1970s, featuring imposing and dramatic public buildings—like London’s National Theatre and Liverpool’s Metropolitan Cathedral—along with lesser-known buildings such as Arlington House on Margate’s seafront, as well as houses and flats, shops, markets, town centers, and more.
