Brutalism as Found - Housing, Form, and Crisis at Robin Hood Gardens

A study of the Robin Hood Gardens housing estate in east London, this book critically appropriates Brutalism under the crisis conditions of today. Immersed in the materials, atmospheres, social forms, and afterlives of this extraordinary estate, here Brutalism is wrested from today's privatizing tastes for “raw concrete” and nostalgia for the post-war class settlement.
