The uncooked concrete constructions of the Sixties represent the best flowering of structure the area has ever visible. the most important development growth in background promoted extraordinary technological innovation and an explosion of aggressive creativity among architects, engineers and concrete-workers. The Brutalist variety was once the result.

Today, after a number of a long time within the shadows, attitudes in the direction of Brutalism are slowly altering, however it is a circulate that remains missed, and grossly underrated.

Raw Concrete overturns the conception of Brutalist structures because the penny-pinching, utilitarian items of dutiful social drawback. in its place it appears a bit nearer, uncovering the luxuriously expert craft and bold engineering with which the simplest structures of the Sixties got here into being: remarkable architectural visions serving consumers wealthy and terrible, radical and conservative.

Beginning in a tiny hermitage at the distant north Scottish coast, and finishing up behind the scenes on the nationwide Theatre, Raw Concrete embarks on a wide-ranging trip via Britain over the last sixty years, preventing to check how 8 awesome structures have been made – from fee to development – why they've been so vilified, and why they're starting to be enjoyed. In it, Barnabas Calder places ahead a robust case: Brutalism is the easiest structure there has ever been, and maybe the simplest there ever will be.

Aragon s'est beaucoup raconté, en prose et en vers ; il n'a cessé d'appliquer avec virtuosité le principe du "mentir-vrai" à sa vie riche déjà de tant d'énigmes et de paradoxes : enfant illégitime à qui le mystery de ses origines fut longtemps caché ; antimilitariste décoré de l. a. Grande Guerre puis médaillé de l. a. Résistance ; dandy dadaïste devenu militant discipliné du parti de Staline et de Thorez ; poète surréaliste converti au réalisme socialiste ; homme à femmes – et quelles femmes ! – métamorphosé en chantre de l'amour conjugal, avant de découvrir sur le tard le goût des garçons... Tous ces personnages différents n'en font qu'un seul dont l'itinéraire littéraire, intellectuel et politique transcrit le génie et le chaos du siècle.

Philippe wooded area recompose à nouveaux frais le roman somptueux de cette longue life, avec ses chapitres glorieux et ses pages lugubres. Il révèle le jeu de miroirs par lequel se réfléchissent l'œuvre et los angeles vie d'un écrivain surdoué à qui aucune des formes de l. a. littérature n'était étrangère. Et si cette œuvre proceed à nous toucher, alors que cette vie n'en finit pas de nous déconcerter, c'est qu'elle possède une jeunesse, une insolence, une énergie sur lesquelles le temps n'a guère european de prise.

Aragon a été targeté autant que haï, admiré autant que décrié, à l. a. fois pour de bonnes et de mauvaises raisons. Il ne s'agit dans ces pages ni de l'acquitter ni de le condamner, mais d'en revenir au mystère même de celui dont on a pu dire qu'il avait été sans doute "le dernier des géants de notre temps".

Dando vita a personaggi che hanno saputo raccontare un’Italia tragica e intensa, costantemente sospesa tra los angeles goliardia e l’amarezza.
