Abstract

Developing from the production of the Brutalist Map of Paris (Blue Crow Media, 2016), this article maps out aspects of the aesthetics of concrete materiality in Parisian brutalism, from the late 1950s to the 1980s, a political aesthetics of the 'as found', before focusing on the material and spatial characteristics of the complex circulatory spaces of the work of Jean Renaudie, as problematic transitional zines between the city and Renaudie's combinatory system.
