‘High-rise tower blocks, prefab panel housing estates, streets in the sky, new towns’ the Zupagrafika design team explain, Brutal Britain 2nd edition celebrates ‘some of the concrete constructions that once shaped the cityscapes of post-war Britain have stood the test of time, while others are long gone.’ £19.95 Link in our bio or dm for direct link

Great Britain’s modern past is recreated with die-cut pre-folded models to rebuild. ‘Some of the most intriguing brutalist edifices erected in England and Scotland after WW2, from iconic slabs of Sheffield’s Park Hill and London’s Trellick Tower, to the demolished Birmingham Central Library.’

Opening with a foreword by Barnabas Calder, this book includes short chapters with striking full-page illustrations and texts on each building.

The Onion House Hawaii 1962-3 Elizabeth McCormick

The Onion House Hawaii 1962-3 Elizabeth McCormick von Beck, a relative of the founder of McCormick & Company, commissioned Kendrick Bangs Kellogg to design a family home. When all the local construction teams turned down the project to build this example of organic architecture, Kellogg stepped up and moved to Hawaii to construct it himself with the help of organic artist James Hubbell who amongst other elements created the dazzling 29 stained glass windows. Hubbell’s the designer of the equally beautiful Sea Ranch Chapel. Today the Onion House is available to rent via Airbnb. Image Hawaii.Beth CC BY SA 4.0
