Entry Description

Concrete and Code is a book that illustrates the history and philosophy of Brutalist architecture as it confronts the contemporary problem of information overload.

In the past, Brutalism, a style marked by bold geometric forms and the use of raw concrete as its primary material, spoke to a post-war world in desperate need of urban renewal. However, in the current day, the web, with its electronic information overload, exists as a pure expression of digital-Brutalism.
