About Grau In München: A Brutalist Journey
This book includes building descriptions in both English and German (Dieses Buch enthält Gebäudebeschreibungen in englischer und deutscher Sprache): Grau in München is a photographic and narrative journey through Munich's Brutalist architecture—an exploration of material, form, and the social ambitions embedded in the city's postwar fabric. Drawing on a year and a half of research and wandering, Dr. architect Jonathan Letzter uncovers over a hundred buildings that embody the complexities of Brutalism—not as an aesthetic, but as a philosophy of material honesty and urban engagement. From massive housing estates to hidden courtyards and expressive churches, this book offers a dual perspective: it documents a lesser-seen side of Munich and invites readers to reflect on how architecture shapes public life. Combining personal observations with historical analysis, it challenges assumptions, opens debate, and celebrates a movement often underappreciated. With 116 projects across twelve neighborhoods, Grau in München reveals a textured, lived-in city—where Brutalism holds memory and design tells an unfinished story.
