AN OBSERVER BOOK OF THE YEAR Beginning in a tiny hermitage on the remote north Scottish coast, and ending up backstage at the National Theatre, Raw Concrete embarks on a wide-ranging journey through Britain over the past sixty years, stopping to examine how eight extraordinary buildings were made - from commission to construction - why they have been so vilified, and why they are beginning to be loved.

Calder's love of the Brutalism comes through this gem of a history of the architecture movement in the United Kingdom. Rather than a linear timeline we get to explore the history through buildings Calder has personal experience with. The links to higher resolution photos online allows the book to get away with the b+w images in the text.
