Brutalism

The brutalism of the 1950s – 1970s is incredibly popular. Photographers specializing in architectural photography capture the power of raw concrete in the buildings of Alison and Peter Smithson, Erno Goldfinger, Luis Kahn, and Kenzo Tange. In Moscow, they are closely looking at the House-ship on Bolshaya Tula, the centipede House on Begovaya and the Olympics-80 press center on Zubovsky Boulevard. The instagrams of architecture lovers are full of little-known masterpieces: concrete cathedrals, water towers, observatories and parking lots, found everywhere from Serbia to China, in which the postmodernist flavor breaks through. In today's memories of brutalism, the emphasis is on frightening and amusing forms, on the combination of modernism with historicism, fantasy and kitsch.
