Having never lived nor worked in a brutalist building, I cannot speak to the their successes or failures as functional architecture. That said, I have always been drawn to the sculptural qualities of these buildings. As an observer of the visual landscape, and a photographer, I set out to explore their allure.

In this collection of photographs I focused on 15 brutalist buildings within the city of London, some well known, some not, that serve a variety of functions. In general, Brutalist buildings date to post WWII, when concrete was widely used for both its economy and the ease of building large structures. When the prevalence of concrete converged with the theories of modernist architects, the brutalist style was born.
