If you require a daily dose of brutalist architecture, you need look no further than @brutgroup.
The account comprises submissions from photographers and archive pictures, featuring everything from the well-known Spomenik in Serbia and the apartment blocks of New Belgrade, to rarer 1960s photos of modernist architecture in Brazil and unusual shots of the famous sights like the Gagarin statue in Moscow. Moreover, the account also posts clever collages and brutalism-inspired artwork for comic relief.
Some of the photos explore countries well outside the New East — from Germany and Britain to Israel, Lebanon, Japan and Cambodia.
