Simon Phipps Bücher

Seit mehr als 30 Jahren erforscht der Londoner Fotograf Simon Phipps den architektonischen Wiederaufbau Englands nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Er dokumentiert den Brutalismus der Nachkriegsmoderne, und sein grosses Bildarchiv demonstriert, in welchem Mass Architekten zum Wandel der politischen und gesellschaftlichen Landschaft Grossbritanniens beigetragen haben. Ablesbar ist dies an unzähligen privaten und öffentlichen Gebäuden, Schulen, Universitäten, Kirchen, Museen und Galerien bis hin zu ganzen neu gebauten Städten. Dieses Buch zeigt Simon Phipps‘ Bilder von rund 80 Bauten in ganz England aus den 1950er- bis 1980er-Jahren. Die Auswahl umfasst herausragende und vielbeachtete Gebäude ebenso wie weniger bekannte und schafft Gegenüberstellungen mit Architekturfragmenten der Zeit, die eine entschieden brutalistische Bildstimmung entstehen lassen. Die Fotografien werden begleitet von einem Essay, der das Phänomen des Brutalismus architekturgeschichtlich einordnet. Kompakte Detailinformationen zu jedem Gebäude und zu seinen Architekten machen das Buch zudem zum handlichen Reiseführer für Architekturliebhaber und -experten.
