Brutalist Paris is the first thoroughly researched English-language book about Brutalist architecture in and around Paris. Drawing on over five years of research, interviews and photography conducted by Robin Wilson and Nigel Green of Photolanguage, Brutalist Paris represents a substantial contribution to the study and exploration of Brutalist architecture. It describes Brutalism's successes and failures in Paris, from an architecture of monumental urban form to intricately crafted living spaces; from valued, historic monuments to abandoned ruins.
The book includes seven essays by Dr Robin Wilson, details for more than 50 individual buildings, maps and more than 150 black and white photographs by Dr Nigel Green.
As featured in Wallpaper, World of Interiors, Design Boom and elsewhere.

Aujourd'hui, on discute encore avec passion les causes, les objectifs, les stratégies et les répercussions de la grande guerre.
Jamais depuis l'avènement de la révolution industrielle, l'allemagne, la france et la grande-bretagne ne s'étaient affrontées : le choc fut titanesque. au cours de la guerre, de nouvelles formes de combat apparurent. sur le front de l'est, les empires russe et austro-hongrois, à l'aube de l'industrialisation, alignaient d'énormes effectifs conçus pour tout balayer sur leur passage ; à l'ouest, en revanche, l'armement industriel encourageait à des stratégies défensives d'armées de métier.
D'août à décembre 1914, pourtant, tout au long du front occidental, l'élan vers la victoire se brisa, aboutissant à un blocage de la situation. les auteurs, robin prior et trevor wilson, recherchent les origines du conflit dans les agissements et les ambitions des puissances concernées. ils étudient tous les aspects importants : conséquences de l'industrialisation, apparition de nouvelles technologies - gaz asphyxiants, obus, chars, avions, sous-marins -, mobilisation en masse de pays entiers.
Ils retracent le déroulement des grandes batailles (verdun, la somme) et livrent une analyse approfondie de la victoire des alliés en 1918. enfin, les suites de l'arrêt du conflit sont mises en évidence, ainsi que le sentiment d'amertume qui, vingt ans plus tard, allait entraîner la seconde guerre mondiale.
