SOS Brutalism is a distress signal, an try to galvanize public awareness of the architectural heritage that may be liable to being without end lost. The book, result of a big collaborative research undertaking by Deutsches Architektur Museum DAM and Wüstenrot Foundation, presents a global survey of brutalist architecture of the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s, covering around 120 key buildings from the period from all over the world, many of them little-known and in imminent danger of destruction. Case studies of hotspots such as the Macedonian capital Skopje or New Haven, Connecticut, and essays at the history and theory of brutalism round out this groundbreaking and lavishly illustrated book.
