A new photo book is exploring nature’s relationship with Brutalist architecture — from a theater in Japan to a library in Canada — and finding beauty in the contrast.

Olivia Broome, curator of the book and creator of the @brutalistplants Instagram, hopes the images will inspire people to look at the built environment differently — and see it as a place that can complement nature.

“Either we all exist in harmony with nature and concrete, or we all mess it up so badly that nature is going to overtake everything that we build,” she said.
