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.
