Content overview: “10 Monumental Brutalist Buildings in Asia: From South Korea to Qatar”. Bob Pang, editor of the newly released book Brutalist Asia, has selected ten of his favorite monumental brutalist buildings across the continent, ranging from a modernist church in South Korea to a geometric post office in Qatar. The book, co-edited with Blue Crow Media founder Derek Lamberton, documents 140 buildings across 28 Asian countries through photographs and essays, offering the first comprehensive survey of Asian brutalism. Pang's picks highlight the region's unique interpretation of the style, which often blends raw concrete with local cultural and climatic responses.
These structures, built primarily between the 1950s and 1970s, reflect a period of rapid modernization and nation-building across Asia. By spotlighting these often-overlooked landmarks, the book aims to foster appreciation and preservation of brutalist heritage in the region.
