Newspapers & Magazines
"Brutalism was mocked and misunderstood. But it produced some of the most sublime, awe-inspiring buildings on the planet."--Jonathan Meades, BBC TV

"Brutalist architecture arouses passion and fury in equal measure."--Financial Times

"It is damned by its name which comes from the French, b ton brut, or raw concrete, but we use the same word (Brut) to describe Champagne and this perhaps sums up the dichotomy at the heart of this style."--Financial Times
