Brutalism as Found: Housing, Form, and Crisis at Robin Hood Gardens by Nicholas

Description: Brutalism as Found by Nicholas Thoburn Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A critical appropriation of Brutalism in the crisis conditions of today.The Robin Hood Gardens public-housing estate in East London, completed in 1972, was designed by Alison and Peter Smithson as an ethical and aesthetic encounter with the flux and crises of the social world. Now demolished by the forces of speculative development, this Brutalist estate has been the subject of much dispute. But the cliched terms of debate-a "concrete monstrosity" or a "modernist masterpiece"-have marginalized the estates residents and obscured its architectural originality. Recovering the social in the architectural, this book centers the estates lived experience of a multiracial working class, not to displace the architectures sensory qualities of matter and form, but to radicalize them for our present.Immersed in the materials, atmospheres, social forms and afterlives of this experimental estate, Robin Hood Gardens is reconstructed here as a socio-architectural expression of our times out of joint. Author Biography Nicholas Thoburn is Reader in Sociology at the University of Manchester. He has published widely on cultural theory, political publishing, social movements, and architecture. His previous books include Deleuze, Marx and Politics and Anti-Book- On the Art and Politics of Radical Publishing.
