Coventry's concrete: beautiful or monstrous?

Jeremy Vine

Available for over a year

After much of the city was destroyed in World War Two, Coventry, like many other British cities, turned to concrete architecture to replace what had been lost. This kind of design, known as Brutalism, is renowned for dividing opinion. Jeremy chats to an architect and a journalist who have opposing views on the city's post-war architecture. Picture shows the Coventry skyline.
