Concretopia: A Brutal Decade with John Grindrod

Ten years ago we launched Concretopia at Bookseller Crow in Crystal Palace. Maybe you were there that night, or subsequently read the book or have come along to a later event.

Well, to celebrate a decade of Concretopia this is a special night back in Bookseller Crow, where it all began, looking back at the writing of the book, with tales of the places I visited and what happened to some of them next, and also some things that didn’t make it in.

Thanks so much to everyone who has read and supported this book, it means so much to me, and this event is a chance to celebrate all things brutalist, modernist, prefabricated and space-aged.
