Skopje’s brutalism published in CLOG magazine
OMNIBUS is published in the new CLOG on BRUTALISM, “a defining architectural style of the postwar era— characterized by severe, abstract geometries and the use of cast concrete, block and brick—Brutalism arguably produced some of the world’s least popular public buildings. The style’s international propagation brought modern architecture to ever-larger constituencies, and some argue that the perceived shortcomings of these Brutalist structures led to the demise of the Modernist project.”-
