Bunkers, Brutalism and Bloodymindedness: Concrete Poetry with Jonathan Meades

Episode 2 (1x2)

Air date: Feb 23, 2014

Focusing initially on the massive influence of Le Corbusier's post-war work, he reclaims the reputation of buildings that, once much maligned, he argues stood for optimism and grandeur. Delivered in his signature provocative and confrontational manner, Meades's film draws on extraordinary buildings from all over Europe in a lavish, sometimes surreal, visual collage.
