Produktbeschreibung
For almost twenty years British photographer Simon Phipps has been documenting the rebuilding of Britain after the Second World War through the work of architects. His archive documents Britain's post-war modernism and new brutalism in architecture and recognises the architects' enormous contribution to the transformation of the political and social landscape of the country in the aftermath of WW II. Significant building on a mass scale was realised and new building techniques were pioneered alongside innovative layouts, resulting in buildings of outstanding quality, displaying radical new forms. The construction ranged from public and private housing, to schools and universities, churches, museums, galleries, commercial and, ultimately, entire new towns.

This German language edition features around 200 of Simon Phipps's photographs of some 160 buildings in all parts of England completed between the 1950s until the 1980s. They create a confrontation of buildings and architectural fragments, evoking a distinct atmosphere of brutalism. The essays and a conversation with architect Kate Macintosh contextualise brutalism in architecture from a British perspective. The book is published in conjunction with an exhibition at Museum im Bellpark in Kriens near Lucerne.

Simon Phipps Finding Brutalism was awarded a bronze medal in the 2018 German Photo Book Award.

Winner of the DAM Architectural Book Award 2018.

Rezensionen
«Eindrückliche, buchseitengross auf Fotopapier gedruckte, Schwarz-Weiss Bilder finden sich in dem 240 Seiten starken, fadengebundenen Block, hinter einem stabilen, türkisfarbenen Leineneinband. Die kontrastreichen Fotos inszenieren Fragmente der heute meist über 40 Jahre alten Gebäude als bildhauerische Objekte. Mit seiner Faszination für Material und Texturen hat Phipps das ganze Spektrum skulpturaler Ausdrucksbreite der 'rohen' Betonbaukunst Grossbritanniens mit der Kamera festgehalten.» Luise Rellensmann, BauNetzWoche

«Ein auffallend gut gestalteter Band.» Sabina Graichen, börsenblatt

«Seit 20 Jahren fotografiert Simon Phipps den Brit-Kult des Betons. Muss man sehen.» Gerhard Mack, NZZ am Sonntag

«It is inspiring, even perhaps slightly nostalgic, but certainly not rose-tinted. The images are gritty, the weatherworn buildings 'as found'. Finding Brutalism is an experience the reader can share with the photographer.» Edwin Trout, Concrete
