dark
hopeful
reflective
slow-paced

Raw Concrete: The Beauty of Brutalism by Barnabas Calder
informative
reflective
medium-paced
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.
