Competition: win a set of posters featuring brutalist Italian housing
Dezeen is giving away sets of Brutalismo posters, which feature black and white photographs of Italian brutalist residential complexes covered with colourful, bold graphics, for our latest competition.
Four readers will each receive three posters, created by graphic designer Peter Chadwick as part of his wider project This Brutal House, which uses graphic design to explore popular brutalist housing projects. Chadwick describes it as "architecture with a graphic design lense".
For this poster series, the London-based designer has selected complexes built in Italy during the 1960s and 70s, often as part of government-mandated programmes to rebuild the country and help to accommodate people after the destruction caused during the second world war. Each print features a project located a different Italian city, with places including Bologna, Busto Arsizio, Florence, Genova, Livorno, Milan, Naples, Rome and Trieste.
For Milan, Chadwick chose a building that Italian architect Aldo Rossi completed in 1972 as part of the Gallaratese Quarter, featuring a set of identical square windows atop a pillared construction. An image of Japanese architect Kenzo Tange's Fiera District, built in 1970, adorns the Bologna poster.
Photographs of the developments are reduced to black and white, and surrounding nature and structures are removed. The architectural images are then overlaid with colourful designs that make the structures pop against the white backgrounds.
Each has two...
