Brutal Poland Paper Models
While brutalist architecture is controversial in many places, it's especially so in Poland, where the buildings serve as a reminder of an oppressive communist regime. Brutal Poland lets the reader build paper models of nine of the most prominent examples. Including the Smolna 8 in Warsaw, the jagged edges of Kraków's Hotel Forum, and the flying saucer-shaped Spodek arena in Katowice, the collection is accompanied by a brief history and background on each building, as well as a foreword by architectural historian Anna Cymer.
