A little bit of variety is good for us all, which is why protecting one brutalist building amongst the Georgian splendour of Bath is a good idea.
Georgian Bath? How about Brutalist Bath!

These zines were the prompt for our recent BRUTAL Bristol exhibition. Buy them while you can!
More people visited than we hoped and our 4 walks sold out demonstrating how many people are interested in the city’s post-war architecture.
