Will be at this exhibition in London tomorrow (Sat 27/02) - an exhibiton of good sculpture, but bad buildings.
Pic attached offers the famous chapel and a pic of the Barbican, which was itself influenced by Le Corbusier/Brutalism (more good concrete sculpture).

Whilst looking stuff up on Brutalism, came across Fritz Wotruba. He's a sculptor, who got into making buildings. He keyed into Brutalism in the 60s, and made some amazing things - attached (churches).

Oh, by the way, they're finished!
