"Brutalism was mocked and misunderstood. But it produced some of the most sublime, awe-inspiring buildings on the planet." —BBC TV
"It is damned by its name which comes from the French, béton brut, or raw concrete, but we use the same word (Brut) to describe Champagne and this perhaps sums up the dichotomy at the heart of this style." —Financial Times
"A 560 page, oversized format book that deserves a place on every design and architecture nerd's coffee table." —Acquire
