Blue Crow Architectural Guides – serie

Brutalist Berlin is the first in a series of beautifully produced and expertly written urban architecture guidebooks by Blue Crow Media. Written and with photography by Berlin-based Dr Felix Torkar, the book covers over fifty buildings with details, texts and photography throughout. Dr Torkar places Berlin's Brutalist architecture within the context of the city's unique position at the centre of 20th century European history. Providing further depth to our popular urban architecture maps, our new guidebooks are designed as intelligent companions to modern architecture around the world.

This definitive guide offers a richly researched study of Brutalism in London. Written by architectural historian Owen Hopkins and photographed by Nigel Green, it features more than fifty extraordinary buildings, with an introduction and maps. The book reveals the beauty, ambition and social ideals that shaped London's most iconic Brutalist structures - from the Barbican and National Theatre to lesser-known private homes and civic structures.
