Bunkers, Brutalism and Bloodymindedness: Concrete Poetry with Jonathan Meades ~ British Brutalism

Welcome

I have created this blog to help stimulate debate regarding the controversial 'Brutalist' architectural style so often demonised without consideration of its true merits. Yet more and more people are expressing an admiration for the style, showing that tastes are changing, making it a necessity to re-evaluate our attitude to brutalist buildings so often dismissed. Brutalism is a historical style like any other and thus is just as worthy of preservation and retention for the benefit of future generations.

21:08 Television No comments

An interesting two-part programme by the stimulating and thought provoking as ever Jonathan Meades. Broadcast over the last two Sunday nights on BBC 4 and part of a recent excellent series on architecture on the channel featuring programmes about Ian Nairn and the modern superstar architects. Available now on IPlayer. Well worth a watch!
