One of the most contentious & debated styles of architecture, Brutalist buildings abound in London. With dramatic concrete forms, rough textures & monumental shapes, Brutalism always gets a reaction – it’s the style of architecture Londoners love to debate.
We’ll aim to look at some of the seminal London works in context & why these iconic buildings are still a powerful presence on the city’s landscape today.
Love them or hate them these concrete monoliths have taken on an iconic status & have recently undergone a new appreciation.
