2019 Round-Up: Our 5 Most Read Architecture Stories

They say that what is old becomes new again, and in the case of architecture, there is no style that best exemplifies this phrase better than Brutalism. The renewed appreciation for the movement has taken hold around the world, and is indicative of a majority of our most read stories this year—including our two architecture guides, which were produced exclusively in-house. One sheds light on the famous works of Le Corbusier, the other depicts the best examples of Brutalist architecture in the city of Berlin. The stories below exemplify our readers’ interest in and affection for Modernist homes, Brutalist buildings, and the use of concrete as a primary material. Here are the five stories that defined our year: the churches, chapels, museums, and private homes whose designs are shaping the future of architecture.
