Brutal Posters : 20 Brutalist Pull-Out Prints

This large-format book brings together a striking collection of illustrated pull-out posters by Zupagrafika celebrating the ''antiheroes'' of postwar modernist architecture across the former Eastern Bloc and ex-Yugoslavia - from neglected brutalist hotels and robot-shaped government buildings to monolithic concrete tower blocks and vast prefabricated housing estates - structures that have often been overlooked but have recently found their way into pop culture. The result of over a decade of obsessive documentation by David Navarro and Martyna Sobecka, this series captures the raw, geometric patterns of brutalist and modernist landmarks - some of them now demolished - that reshaped the cityscapes of Central and Eastern Europe in the second half of the 20th century. Opening with a foreword by architectural historian Anna Cymer, Brutal Posters includes 20 detachable prints, creating a unique visual archive of this vanishing architectural legacy.
