I want to think they are buildings of Stirling, Alison& Peter Smithson, Corbu, Atelier 5 and more like this, and nor Collin St. John Willson or Lubetkin. Then things and types will be another thing.

The quick and easy would be to use an Avant-garde, or any font type of the 70's, but in opposition to the textures and structural strength, I use a font like Garamond, refined and delicate. Most photos are in b & w, with its texture, and may be well to assess the opposition.

My input as a reader; I prefer text be an ease to read and not impaired by some fancy schmantzy typeface. If you're doing large bodies of text, I'd stay more traditional with serifs for word flow. If only descriptions or a sentence or two to accompany your photo, you could be more modern and stark with your body typeface.

What I first think about Brutalist/Modernist are:
1. Grey concrete slabs
2. Strong, rigid squares/boxes
3. Governmental/militarist/industri...
4. Cold, to the point they look sinister.
5. Could be a setting for fascist/NWO scene.So for display I'm inclined to suggest something like:
1. Proto sans or Euclid BP
2. Blender Bold or Bella Sky
3. Stencil thing, Helvetica stencil perhaps.
4. Or something that looks good etched on concrete like Kabel or Kaas.
5. I also like freshnobob's choice.Show us cover & some spreads later OK!
