{"product_id":"massive-expressive-sculptural-chris-van-uffelen-9783037682241","title":"Massive, Expressive, Sculptural: Brutalism Now and Then","description":"Brutalism is back. Vilified for decades as the stepchild of modernism, brutalist architecture is now enjoying a comeback as the latest discovery among digital trendsetters: uncompromising and incredibly daring, the colossal structures of the 1960s and 1970s both stand as testament to the postwar years and inspire contemporary architectural language. This volume offers a sophisticated comparison of historical and contemporary brutalist buildings. Similarities as well as differences are explored and analyzed using a series of impressive architectural projects. Large-scale sculptural forms, coarsely finished materials and floor plans that defy convention merge with contemporary design to generate enthralling new creations. Bunker-like bungalows reveal classy interiors, vast religious buildings disclose innovative perspectives and gigantic concrete structures surprise with delicate, artistic elements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Van Uffelen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3037682248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783037682241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Braun Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 7.80w x 1.30d","brand":"Chris Van Uffelen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075200381183,"sku":"9783037682241","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ca60d882-de72-41d3-87dc-954ad48597d1.jpg?v=1685458187","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/massive-expressive-sculptural-chris-van-uffelen-9783037682241","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
