Like many stylistic terms in architecture, the exact parameters denoted by the word “Brutalism” are difficult to precisely pin down. Brutalism is a style which was particularly prominent during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The emphasis on harsh geometric forms and unadorned rough concrete and brick have resulted in very strong feelings of hate or love for these buildings. This tour documents a number of Brutalist style buildings in Winnipeg and explores their genesis, as well as the place of Brutalism in the history of the city.

He came to prominence in the mid-1970s as one of a group of artists included in the influential exhibition "The new topographics". His ‘non-judgmental’, matter-of-fact images, which are often architecturally-oriented, have a broad intellectual framework and draw attention to larger social and architectural patterns.

Résumé:
Combining civic architecture projects with contributions by writers, historians and artists ranging from Dan Graham to Fran Lebowitz, this publication constructs a dialogue with the legacy of the late architect and longtime Cooper Union professor Diane Lewis (1951-2017). Lewis' pedagogy defined Cooper Union's architecture departure from the 1970s to the mid-2000s. Here, architectural historians Barry Bergdoll and Daniel Sherer converse about the themes and approach in her pedagogical style and thinking. Architects, former students, colleagues and friends generate projects as a continuous discourse with Lewis' pedagogy, carrying her legacy into contemporary dialogues.
