To paraphrase architectural critic Peter Reyner Banham, for a building to be categorically Brutalist , its structure must be clearly present, its materials must be raw, and it must be memorable. Many architecture enthusiasts can rattle off dozens of Brutalist masterworks that fit Banham’s description to a T (think Met Breuer , the Centre Pompidou, and many college libraries across the country). Author and self-proclaimed Brutalism lover Peter Chadwick, however, has written a new book that challenges Banham’s third stipulation: memorability. In This Brutal World (Phaidon, $50) Chadwick champions Brutalist buildings that many readers are likely unfamiliar with. Below are seven such structures, located across the world and conceived by such architects as Le Corbusier and João Filgueiras Lima.

Centro de Exposições do Centro Administrativo da Bahia in Bahia, Brazil (João Filgueiras Lima, 1974).

Monument Ilinden (Makedonium) in Krushevo, Macedonia (Jordan and Iskra Grabulovski, 1974).

Sunset Chapel in Acapulco, Mexico (Bunker Arquitectura, 2011).

Assembly Building in Chandigarh, India (Le Corbusier, 1962).

Grand Central Water Tower in Midrand, South Africa (APP Architects & Urban Designers, 1996).

Stone House/Interni Think Tank in Milan (John Pawson, 2010).

Casar de Cáceres Bus Station in Cáceres, Spain, (Justo Garciá Rubio, 2003).
