About
This panel discussion takes a wide celebratory and critical view of Brutalism, redefining and expanding the term ‘Brutal’ to include buildings usually considered outside the movement.
The event marks the publication of This Brutal World, a global survey of Brutalist architecture from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day and the touring of the RIBA installation 'The Brutalist Playground' by Assemble and Simon Terrill.
