‘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.
