DESCRIPTION:
Get to know your Brutalism The only reason I didn't give it five stars was that the book, as presented, is already showing signs or wear and tear. As a book, not well designed. A great introduction to Brutalist architecture with, perhaps, a little two much emphasis on England.. Five Stars TQM Recommended
