The topic I have chosen to base my guidebook on is modern brutalist architecture. Architecture is something I have always been interested in from and the brutalist style is one of my particular favourites.
I have started by looking at a few brutalist architecture books:
Reading these through has helped give me a little bit of extra knowledge on the topic and strengthened my ideas.
I then drew a few quick sketches of some of the buildings featured in the books. I felt this was a good exercise as it meant I looked deeper at the patterns formed in this particular style and the structures used.
Elliot has an Instagram account called '@modbrut' in which he showcases his love for modern brutalist architecture. He has travelled the country visiting certain builds and collecting images of them. Following my ideas for the project I contacted Elliot and asked him whether he would be interested in a collaboration for the guidebook. He felt this would be a really cool idea and gave me his permission to use his Instagram as a research source for the project.
