Concrete Poetry by Simon Phipps
Concrete Poetry is the first photographic survey of Modernist sculpture within the Brutalist context.
'Gems of British Brutalism and Modernism are under threat from time and tide, as much as the wrecking ball – luckily, photographer Simon Phipps has been documenting these harsh beauties for his book, Concrete Poetry. . From the Denys Wilkinson Building to the Blackwall Tunnel's ventilation shafts, the UK is studded with post-war concrete odes to a better tomorrow. For those of us who don't have the time to trot around the country, ticking these pioneering structures off their list, Phipps' book is an essential coffee-table tour.' Wired magazine
