"Brutalism" derives from the French words "beton brut" or raw concrete, a style devised by Le Corbusier after WWII. It was how British architects translated European Modernism in the UK, and it can be seen in buildings like the Royal Festival Hall in the 1950's and residential towers in the 1960's-70's. After a period of rejection, this architecture is now fashionable again, it is time to revisit it!
There will be time for discussion and questions, join me!

I have a big passion for history of art and architecture and I love presenting on different art topics, making them relevant and interesting for all audiences. My knowledge is based on academic studies, guiding art and architecture tours in London as well as going to exhibitions on my own and talking to artists. Example of topics of my talks: women artists, architecture of London, art & music, textile art, street photography, etc. Ad-hoc art topics can be agreed with the organisation.
My art tour organisation is called Art Tours with a Theme - ART wiT and you can check out my activity on Instagram @artwit_london and Facebook @artwitlondon. My talks are offered in-person in London and online. You can have a look at my past talks on my YouTube channel (youtube.com/channel/UCZZIqTNVyZZDNZcwnw3kIpw).
