Brutalist Plants

Brutalist architecture, with its austere lines and cold concrete, is not generally celebrated for its harmony with the natural environment. That said, architects have long found ways of embracing nature, creating a striking contrast between hard concrete and lush, organic foliage. Brutalist Plants celebrates the truce between the green and the grey, wth 150 images of concrete made cuddly and the urban landscape softened by nature. With lavish colour photography of examples from all over the world, including London's Barbican and the pocket gardens of Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation, this would make a stunning gift for architects and gardeners alike.
