Gestalten Concrete, Mon Amour

Product description

Is this a photo book about modernist concrete? Yes—a photographic study by Stefano Perego capturing the raw imprint of modernism. Concrete, Mon Amour: The Raw Imprint of Modernism—published by gestalten—collects Perego’s lens on concrete’s lived legacy.

As the cover (page 1) signals, a daring cantilever and stair tower set the tone: bold, weathered, precise. Perego’s images linger on board-formed surfaces, chipped edges, patched joints, and the way light skims across ribs and arcs. He’s after evidence of life and time—repairs, stains, and ad-hoc adaptations that turn structures into records of use rather than museum pieces.

Keep it on the desk for material reference, on the coffee table for quick inspiration, or gift it to an architecture-minded friend. It pairs neatly with titles on Brutalism and postwar design.
