2 weeks agobrutalist berlin: a concrete chronicle of the german city's postwar identity
Brutalist Berlin, published by Blue Crow Media, is an architectural guidebook devoted to the raw materiality and social ambition of Berlin's postwar concrete structures. Written and photographed by architectural historian Dr. Felix Torkar, the volume documents more than fifty sites across the city - from housing estates and cultural institutions to infrastructural landmarks - and situates them within the political and cultural framework of Germany's Cold War reconstruction.
