Arranged by inner London Borough, BRUTAL LONDON takes in famous examples such as the Trellick Tower, the Brunswick Centre and the Alexandra Road Estate, as well as lesser known housing and municipal spaces. It serves as an introduction to buildings the reader may see every day, an invitation to look differently, a challenge to look up afresh, or to seek out celebrated Brutalism across the capital. \u003cbr\u003eThe book's portable size and maps for each borough make it useful and practical; while the design, by leading agency A Practice for Everyday Life, echoes the aesthetic of Brutalist architecture with rough textured edges and fonts inspired by the site maps of modernist estates.\u003cbr\u003eFinalist for the British Book Design and Production Awards 2017, Photographic Books, Art \/ Architecture Monographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimon Phipps is a photographer and the creator of the New Brutalism collection on Tumblr, Instagram and Twitter, A graduate in sculpture from the Royal College of Art, London her grew up in Milton Keynes.
