Oh well, now you can make a late addition to your Christmas present list. There are several good books around on Brutalism. There is "Brutal London", "Raw Concrete", and, what looks like my favourite, "Soviet Bus Stops" (it is very popular on Amazon).By the way, of related interest, there is a book called "Architecture on the Carpet" which "explores the host of connections linking the model-building toys of the modern period with architectural movements, social history, and national identities and myths. Brenda and Robert Vale investigate not only how model sets have reflected different building styles, both historic and contemporary, but also whether the toys themselves influenced the subsequent careers of the children who grew up playing with them."
