Brutalist architecture is divisive – its style is appreciated by many and disliked by many. Brutalist high-rise social housing projects were designed with progressive qualities in mind, but fell short of this goal, being known for fostering crime and for their poor design, construction and maintenance. This book will discuss the shortcomings of brutalist high-rise social housing, and how this paved the way for the design and success of the low-rise estate. This discussion is accompanied by infrared photography, which renders nature in a luminous white, allowing the relationship between housing and its environment to be seen – this being a key element to the success of the low-rise estate.

About — Dan Bowhay is a photographer and visual artist who grew up in Hampshire and is now working in the south of England. He often works with analogue and digital photographic processes, along with other lens-based mediums, with him utilising the objective image the camera can create to support his ideas. Whilst Bowhay works with photography, the form of his work is also of key interest, with him exploring the photographic object through installation, interactive, and sculptural practice, along with exploring the artist's book format.

Bowhay takes a matter-of-fact and documentary approach to his subjects. He has an interest in exploring the environments that surround him and documenting the stories contained within, and more recently has started to create autobiographical work, presenting personal stories about his disability through his photography.
