All hail the power of concrete architecture

Memorial and Cultural Centre in concrete, by Marko Mušič, Kolašin, Montenegro, 1979.

If ever a book was designed for a coffee table, it’s this hefty volume on concrete. Pitched at the diehard brutalist who desperately wants to convert others to their cause, Concrete Architecture makes its case through a feast of black and white imagery of the very best concrete architecture from around the globe, spanning the material’s earliest usage right up to the present day.
