Beton Bibliotheques - Volume 1
£7.50
By Michael Revill
"This zine explores how the perfect storm of post-war brutalism, the change in emphasis of library layouts and the rapid expansion of newer towns created some unique, distinctive library buildings that have made their mark on the urban landscape.
Between 1960 and 1965, some 350 new libraries were constructed at a cost of £5.2m, and some of these embrace the style of brutalist architecture - a concept in vogue for over 30 years after the Second World War which mainly used concrete in a bespoke, raw form to create some extraordinary buildings."
