Brutalism, Concrete Poetry  

Well -- we get treated to a great many wonderful images -- and a lot of Mr Meades's extensive vocabulary. Would it have killed him to spell onscreen the names of the artists, engineers, and architects he cites ?
The contrast between Meades and Reyner Banham is interesting; Meades dismisses him (as have many others), but can it be said that Meades actually likes any of the things he presents -- as Banham surely did ?

I certainly didn't want to discourage discussion of this important topic.  I hope others have watched the video and might have additional points of view . . .

thank you HowardMoon, I was looking for this tv show since I heard about it last year
there is a second episode on the same vimeo channel, and for non native speakers, here are the english subtitles (and this could help you SDR) :

Thanks, Matthieu.  Now, just what is the American equivalent of the term bloody-minded ?  I've never quite got that one . . .
