This well-curated and artfully composed collection of essays - CLOG's trademark - is a balanced take on the complex issues raised by the current regain of interest for brutalist architecture. However, I found it less accessible for non-architects than other CLOG issues, too many arcane references.. ( )
The Brutalist debate – to save or not to save – will certainly keep raging in the years to come. CLOG: BRUTALISM, with its varied accounts of Brutalism’s heartfelt promise vs its impracticality; its social consideration vs its inhumanity; its unlikely loveableness vs. its downright ugliness is a well-needed compendium that will help us put the debate, and those maligned Brutalist buildings themselves, back in context (where they certainly belong). Onderdeel van de reeks(en)CLOG (6)
A defining architectural style of the postwar era- characterized by severe, abstract geometries and the use of cast concrete, block and brick- Brutalism arguably produced some of the world's least popular public buildings. The style's international propagation brought modern architecture to ever-larger constituencies, and some argue that the perceived shortcomings of these Brutalist structures led to the demise of the Modernist project. While today often admired (and even loved) by architects, many Brutalist projects are now threatened with demolition. Judging by the work of many contemporary practitioners, however, the influence of Brutalism only seems to grow. Before the wrecking balls swing, it is time to look back on, debate, understand, and learn from Brutalism. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
