Summary:

Die Bauten des als Brutalismus bezeichneten Architekturstils entstanden vor allem in den 1960er- und 1970er-Jahren und wirken bis heute kompromisslos, verwegen und unglaublich kühn. Seinen Namen verdankt er der französischen Bezeichnung ?brut?, also dem rohen Material. Die danach jahrzehntelang als Stiefkind der Moderne geschmähte Architektur erlebt gerade ein Comeback ? als neueste Entdeckung digitaler Trendsetter.0Nebst dieser Faszination in den sozialen Netzwerken inspiriert der Brutalismus auch die heutige Architektursprache. Raumgreifende skulpturale Formen, grob bearbeitete Materialien, aber auch die Auflösung von überkommenen Grundrisskonzepten verschmelzen mit zeitgenössischem Design zu spannenden Neuschöpfungen. Das Buch bietet eine differenzierte Gegenüberstellung brutalistischer Gebäude der Nachkriegszeit und heutiger Bauwerke und arbeitet heraus, wie sich diese in Bezug auf Aussehen, Gesamt- oder Detailentwurf auf die Vergangenheit beziehen.
