Reyner Banham, an architectural analyzer as well as a critic, tried to codify the then-upcoming structural campaign of Brutalism through his seminal December 1955 essay. He claimed that if an observer is introduced into an area of interest, then it would automatically be damaged for good. He also claims that Das Kapital had taken in the capitalist line so that the Marxists could have a rough time identifying it when they came across, and the widespread of concepts Freud that any client could…

Although reading such dense book may seem difficult at first, soon the readings begin to understand that everything that he…
